BLOOD BORN - Review

DISTRIBUTOR: Terror Films

SYNOPSIS:  After struggling to conceive, Eric and Makayla hire a witch doctor from the Gravida Foundation to help them conceive. Ola moves into their home, taking over their lives as she puts them through a series of magical rituals. As the ceremonies take a toll on the couple, they discover that their baby might not actually be human, leaving them to decide how far they are willing to go for the family they’ve always wanted.

REVIEW: BLOOD BORN seems to be capitalizing on something that is in the zeitgeist and is a theme that has shown up in a few films this year, such as “Son,” and is a central theme in the CBS series “Evil.” With abortion rights currently under siege and couples having some many new medical advances to turn to in hopes of becoming pregnant, it is little wonder that they fail to see the devil in the details.

Reed Shusterman’s screenplay feels genuine, like he might have gone through the process or has someone close to him who has. So the story begins in an organic place and quickly moves into the realms of dark fantasy before shifting into horror. AS the story shifts gears a lot of what made for an interesting character study becomes a bit cliched. Ola keeps warning them about what they shouldn’t do and the dire consequences so you know something will eventually go horribly wrong, as if we don’t perceive that from the start. There are some plot elements presented early on that would have any logical person reconsidering, but you have to just shrug it off as it is a horror movie.  As the story devolves into horror the dialogue goes a bit flat, and there are shifts in the couple’s characters that feel like caricatures. I began to lose interest, but still wanted to see it through to the conclusions as I felt invested in the story. I thought some of the narrative involving the visiting physician was interesting and it could have been a bit more clever. It all climaxes in a blood bath that simply was not glorious.

The cast is solid, and the performances in the first two acts are engaging and feel genuine. Actress Melanie Haynes plays Olga and is excellent in the role, but again it comes undone in the final act as she is reduced to a stereotype with some bad dialogue. Actor Cole Gerdes is Dr. Zekeny, whose performance, and I can understand why, doesn't exactly feel like he fits into the story. He comes across as aloof, satirical and distant.

BLOOD BORN has some nice locations, rich cinematography, is nicely edited, and Ryan Rapsys’ score serves the film well. The effects are sometimes really good and sometimes meh. The costumes work well and don’t appear to be the cast’s personal wardrobe or fresh from the local thrift shop.

BLOOD BORN was pitched to me as “in the tradition of ‘The Omen’,” which it is not. It has more in common with “Rosemary’s Baby” and the TV series “Evil.” It has a good cast and the story begins with a few interesting premises. However, it begins to go off the rails and takes the cast along with it. Anything is possible in hindsight, but there are elements of this film that might have made for a better film if the script had been messaged a bit more.

CAST: Antoine Perry, Rosie Moss, Melanie Haynes, Laurine Price, and Cole Gerdes. CREW: Director/Screenplay - Reed Shusterman; Producers - Dana Guerin, Cindi Rice & John Frank Rosenblum; Cinematographer - Laura Jansen; Score - Ryan Rapsys; Editor - Lea Vrabelova; Production Designer - Rae Esterlina; Costume Designer - Zoë Battles; Specialty Prosthetic Pregnancy Effects - Michael Dinetz; Visual Effects Artist - Gavin Carlton.

The world is about to change with Biden and Harris in office. It is great to have Harris in there. More women in power is so important. Women don’t think with their dicks. I mean, a pussy likes to fuck just as much but we can also get some work done. Men are rarely as good at multitasking.  The inauguration went off with high security after the Trump insurrection. 5 were killed as the traitors stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 but Biden still became the President on the 20th. Hooray for Pastor Raphael Warnock and Jon Osoff in Georgia for taking the Senate. We are off to an interesting start with Merrick Garland nominated for AG.** Janet Yellen is the 78th US Treasury secretary and the first woman!**John Kerry is the envoy for climate and Pete Buttigieg is up for secretary of transportation. ** Biden reversed the ban on transgender troops, stopped the Muslim ban and signed many other executive orders.

Some last headlines and thoughts and facts about the end of the worst Presidency in our history. Let’s hope this is the last of the news about the Traitor in chief except for paying for his crimes. Unity does not mean there are no consequences for criminals. Make no mistake Trump and some of his followers are criminals. **Here are a few things I ran across: Vanilla Ice played Mar A Lago for NY Eve.** After the riot many rats started to jump ship like Elaine Chao, Hope Hicks and Betsy Devos. The American Federation of Teachers reaction to Betsy Devos resignation: ���Good Riddance.”** Mo Brooks had told the crowd, “Take names and kick ass.” Plans for a Sen. Hawley book were scrapped.** Adam Kinzinger of Illinois was one of the first to call for the 25th amendment that never happened.** People are trying to get to the bottom of the Riot with questions like, “Who paid for the buses?” ** These types of people are the reason we can’t have nice things. **  Scary Clown is off Twitter for good. Funny how it took Senators, companies and voters so long, 2 weeks before he leaves office to make him a pariah. Trump was too dangerous for twitter but not for the nuclear codes?? ** To anyone complaining about a private media co. kicking Trump off their platform: Think of twitter as a Christian bakery and Trump as a wedding cake. _William Cusack**The riot proved that blue lives really don’t matter to them.** U.S. rep for Colorado Lauren Boebert was given $70,500 by Ted Cruz just as he asked for a probe into Netflix. Her husband, Jayson was arrested for exposing himself to a minor and for domestic abuse.** Trump was impeached again.** “Republican colleagues broke down in tears saying that Republicans are afraid for their lives if they vote for this impeachment.- Congressman Jason Crow.** Mike Pompeo cancelled his European trip after Luxemburg’s foreign minister and top European union officials declined to meet him.**232 was the number of votes to impeach him and the number of electoral vote in his loss to Biden.**Trump’s interior secretary had his own flag** Trumps EPA guy made super- secret phone calls in his own phone booth and had 24 hour security.** Toby Keith and Ricky Scaggs received the National medal of arts. ** The Supreme Court tossed out a lawsuit claiming that Trump violated the emoluments clause. ** Dominion voting systems sued Rudy.** Trumps impeachment lawyers, Butch Bowers and Deb Barbier quit. Word is that they refused to say the election was stolen. The new team seems to include Bruce Castor who would not prosecute Bill Cosby and Epstein’s would be lawyer David Schoen. That sounds about right.

During Hurricane Andrea's brush with New York in June 2013, an unexpected guest in need shows up on Tony Stark’s doorstep. Well, more like his roof. There wasn’t the smallest chance he’d refuse to help. But he couldn’t have ever guessed where his compassion would lead.

Note that the three songs in bold (Beyond, Why You?, and Cold) are songs that were in the books, all sung by Christ Tara, who is the same person as Christian and Kirtash. It’s complicated. I’m still gonna put the lyrics here for continuity’s sake, but keep in mind those were written by the books author, Laura Gallego García. Also, fun fact about myself, I learned by heart all three songs and sung to myself or my family. I usually started crying after singing “Why You?”, my favourite of the three, because it reminded me of my crush at that time. Oh, the good ol days.

Please, if you do all the figuring out the story stuff please let me know, I’m really curious to see what you come up with!!! And let me know also if any of the song titles piqued your interest!!! 

Next post is gonna be of pictures of the characters as they appear in the official comic books (that I of course have) so you can imagine them properly.

LANCELOT DU LAC

"Lancelot du Lac" (1974) constituye la vindicación del estilo de Robert Bresson, de un estilo tan radicalmente diferente a los demás que casi justifica la distinción que establece Bresson entre el cinematógrafo —escritura que se sirve de imágenes y de sonidos y que sólo él practica— y el cine —lo que hacen los otros directores—. Un film de Bresson sólo se parece a otro film de Bresson, sin que por ello se le pueda acusar de repetirse: contrariamente a un Jancsó, por ejemplo, Bresson no ha hecho de su escritura un método que aplica sistemáticamente a cualquier material instrumental (actores, paisajes, decorados) o narrativo, sino que es posible apreciar en su reducida obra un ininterrumpido proceso de perfeccionamiento: cada vez más depurado y coherente, su estilo es lo bastante flexible como para poder adaptarse a los diferentes temas y ambientes que exploran sus películas, a las diferentes épocas y mentalidades que evoca en ellas. "Lancelot du Lac" supone la culminación del estilo de Bresson en cuanto que es su último film hasta ahora y el más minuciosamente preparado, meditado e imaginado de todos ellos: la idea de hacer una película inspirada en el ciclo arturiano, en la leyenda de la búsqueda del Graal por los Caballeros de la Tabla Redonda data de hace casi un cuarto de siglo. Viendo "Lancelot du Lac", se tiene la sensación de hallarse ante el esplendoroso resultado de más de veinte años de convivencia con unos temas y unos personajes, de incontables horas de reflexión, y de diez películas que han constituido para Bresson otras tantas pruebas —como los trabajos que hubo de realizar Hércules, como las que debían superar los aspirantes a caballeros en la Edad Media— que le han permitido sentirse capaz de llevar a la pantalla la trágica y compleja historia del fin de un mundo (el de los caballeros andantes, el del amor galante y absoluto, el del honor y la armonía entre los hombres empeñados en llevar a cabo una misión imposible) con la máxima sencillez, con la más radical ausencia de efectismos retóricos, sin el fácil recurso al espectáculo de la violencia, evitando el peligro de dispersión que se cernía sobre un film que intentase abordar la caótica y oscura leyenda arturiana.

Lo que hace de "Lancelot du Lac" un film extraño, inexplicable e insólito es, precisamente, su sencillez. Tal vez sea Bresson el más elemental y el menos sutil de los directores. Nos presenta sus películas "en bruto", sin reelaborar de acuerdo con un conjunto de convenciones y usos vigentes que facilitarían nuestro contacto y nuestra comprensión del film; en ese sentido, las películas de Bresson carecen de "arte", entendiendo por arte "el pacto que liga al autor con la sociedad" (Roland Barthes, en "El grado cero de la escritura"). No van hacia el espectador ofreciéndole un espectáculo y las claves de su significado, sino que exigen de él un grado de interés, de curiosidad, de atención y de participación activa que el grueso del cine no sólo no reclama, sino que incluso impide. Bresson no muestra las cosas ya digeridas y explicitadas, no alude a las emociones consabidas, no presenta una interpretación psicológica de los actos de los personajes, sino que dispone ordenadamente ante la mirada inteligente del espectador una serie de datos, indicios, pistas o huellas a partir de los cuales éste puede reconstruir libremente —aportando sus ideas, sus experiencias, sus sentimientos— el sentido continuo del drama. En realidad, como todos sabemos, una línea no es sino una sucesión de puntos, la figura de un cuadro no es sino una serie de manchas de pintura dispuestas según una determinada estructura, la música no es sino una exposición sencilla de relaciones acústicas, de acordes sonoros que se suceden en el tiempo y que se desplazan en el espacio. En el cine de Bresson, cercano tanto a la pintura como a la música, el placer está en el proceso del entendimiento, en la actividad intelectiva que se desarrolla al relacionar entre sí las diferentes imágenes desnudas —no revestidas de significado— y los sonidos seleccionados que Bresson ha compuesto. Cómo dice Gerd Zacher, refiriéndose al trabajo de Bach en el Arte de la Fuga, "él compuso solamente la estructura desnuda. El proceso de componer tiene como fin la comparación, sólo de la cual surge un resultado imprevisible". Comparar es cotejar, mirar una cosa poniéndola al lado de otra, relacionar, y este es el trabajo que el que contempla un film compuesto por Bresson debe llevar a cabo. Podría decirse que un film de Bresson tiene la muda y críptica desnudez de una partitura; para escuchar y sentir la música que lleva implícita, de la que es huella y signo a la vez que vehículo y programa, será preciso que la interpretemos, que la ejecutemos. En realidad, un film de Bresson no existe sin un espectador que lo complete. No basta con verlo y oírlo pasivamente, hay que escrutar cada una de sus imágenes y escuchar cada uno de sus sonidos, porque tales materiales —los de cualquier película, aunque en distintas proporciones y con diferentes intensidades— no son meros fenómenos físicos que remiten a un pensamiento, a una psicología, a una emoción, sino la materia misma —fragmentaria, seleccionada rigurosamente, desnuda— de la película. Contrariamente a lo que su reputación podría hacer pensar, no hay cine menos "espiritualista" ni más "materialista" que el cinematógrafo de Bresson: "Lancelot du Lac" es el ruido que hacen las piezas metálicas de una armadura al chocar entre sí, el sordo y seco fragor de un combate, la punta afilada de una lanza, el monótono trote de unos caballos cansados por el peso de sus férreos jinetes, la sangre que fluye abundantemente de una herida, el zumbido de una flecha que vuela hacia su blanco, el rostro claro y serio de Laura Duke Condominas (la reina Gueniévre), un escudo que se dobla al ser embestido por una lanza, un relincho o un ojo sanguinolento y asustado de caballo, el color de la divisa de un caballero, o la celada que oculta su rostro. La función de esas imágenes —o de los sonidos que, al hacerlas innecesarias, las reemplazan— no es referencial: su misión no es la de sugerir emociones, ni sentimientos, ni ideas, ni conceptos, que damos por supuestos y que integran un repertorio por todos conocido, sino, precisamente, la de impedir que nos limitemos a reconocer por la "parte" el "todo" sobreentendido. Ante un film de Bresson el espectador se siente desarmado, desafiado por un enigma que se le escapa y que le obliga —si tiene alguna curiosidad— a salir de su indiferencia y a realizar una labor, un trabajo de lectura al que no está acostumbrado.

Naturalmente, un rechazo de la retórica tan radical y extremado como el de Bresson corre el peligro de erigirse en una nueva retórica, en una retórica distinta, si se quiere en una antirretórica que sería forzosamente partícipe de la naturaleza de lo que combate. Este peligro acecha incesantemente los films de Bresson situados en nuestro tiempo, en los que el realismo esencializado de las imágenes choca con la estilización "antinatural" de las voces de los intérpretes, con la lentitud ritual de sus ademanes y movimientos. Este choque, siempre provocador, produce en ocasiones un distanciamiento enojoso y perturbador, que interrumpe y dificulta el proceso de intelección de la película. Sin embargo, en "Lancelot du Lac" —más aún que en "Proc��s de Jeanne d’Arc" (1962)— la atonalidad, la monotonía, la falta de inflexiones con que recitan sus diálogos —casi monólogos intercambiados— los intérpretes no es nunca un defecto, no llama la atención, no parece una figura de estilo, sino que resulta perfectamente funcional y coherente con los demás elementos de la película, ya que parece lógico, desde cualquier punto de vista, que unos personajes legendarios (Lancelot, Gueniévre, el rey Artus, Gauvain, Mordred, Lionel) y medievales nos resulten irremisiblemente ajenos y remotos. Por primera vez, además, el tema y el ambiente de "Lancelot du Lac" daban ocasión a la inclusión de escenas espectaculares y violentas —luchas, torneos, ejecuciones—, hasta ahora simplemente ausentes de las películas de Bresson, motivo por el cual su rechazo de las posibilidades espectaculares de la imagen en movimiento nos permite concentrar nuestra atención no en el rito novelesco del combate ni en la trepidante emoción del peligro, sino en las verdaderas causas y consecuencias del choque entre dos jinetes armados, en las insuficiencias protectoras de una coraza, un casco o una cota de mallas —siempre existe un resquicio por el que penetran las lanzas, las flechas, las espadas, y por el que brota la sangre y se escapa la vida—, es decir, nos permite ver algo nuevo, nos permite descubrir algo que hasta ahora se nos había ocultado. Estos factores y otros muchos que creo ocioso enumerar, todos ellos producto de la intransigencia y de la integridad de Bresson, hacen de "Lancelot du Lac" —como de "Pickpocket", "Au hasard Balthazar" o "Quatre Nuits d'un rêveur", pero aún más— una experiencia nueva e insólita, que no podemos reducir a la agradable sensación de reconocer lo real —ese "así es" o "es verdad" que, por algún motivo, tanto nos satisface y tranquiliza— ni a la ilusión de comprender que suscita la representación de unos actos o unos gestos que forman parte de un código conocido —en el fondo, un repertorio de convenciones que también reconocemos—, sino que nos enfrenta directamente con lo desconocido y con la necesidad del conocimiento.

En unos años como los que llevan transcurridos de la década de los 70, el cinematógrafo de Bresson tiene una saludable función purificadora, pues tiene la virtud de denunciar —con su desnudez y su coherencia, con su negativa a recurrir a fáciles efectismos sensacionalistas— la falsedad y la insignificancia del grueso del cine actual, y de elevar un nivel de exigencia que la poca calidad de casi todas las películas que vemos nos lleva insensible e inconscientemente a rebajar cada vez más. Frente a un cine cada vez más desorientado y confundido, el cinematógrafo de Bresson nos propone un criterio.
