Flesh and Blood (2017)

Flesh and Blood: Directed by Mark Webber. With Madeline Brewer, Mark Webber, Rocco Rosanio, Tim Dowlin. Mark Webber explores family dynamics, in a bold way using his real life family members.

“One of the reasons I never much liked horror movies or slasher movies is that the contrivances of the plot require that the characters be really stupid and make wrong decisions at every turn. Well the same can be said for this slow movie quasi docu drama. The characters are too trapped in their own ignorance to make any meaningful move. Weu0026#39;ve all met these people in real life. the experience of being around them while they pile damage upon damage upon themselves and those near them until there is nothing but human wreckage can be profoundly frustrating. This movie is a slow 90 minutes of that. No humor or joie de vie exists in this movie which means that it isnu0026#39;t even honest about itu0026#39;s subject. Just melancholy ignorance. Well u0026quot;actedu0026quot; I suppose but ultimately just a frustrating bore.”
