A promising script that needed revising November 13, 2008

In The Blood is about a college student whose attempts to uncover his sexuality become complicated by psychic visions about a campus killer. This movie is stylishly produced and much better-acted and scored than your average horror flick. Its promise as the next generation of horror is equaled only by the viewer's disappointment when the ending fails to deliver.
I wondered, while watching this, if this film had been shot during the writer's strike. That's the only reason I can think of that certain flaws could have gone uncorrected during the shooting process. There are a few dialogue cues that would make more sense in a high school context than college, for example; as if this script had started out as a story about high school students and then changed settings during the second draft.
The story itself has some pretty awesome possibilities. The concept of a family secret about hereditary mojo isn't new in horror, but the particular twist featured in this movie is something I've never seen before. The relationships, both family and romantic, are given enough complexity to be thoroughly watchable, which is why the lack of believable follow-through smarts so much at the end.
Bottom line, I was enjoying the story up until the final act. The last scene in particular was irritating beyond belief, but I refuse to let it ruin my experience of the entire movie. If the director has an alternate ending, I'd love to see that on a future DVD release, and I would pay full price for it. Otherwise, I'd recommend other users to catch this one free on late night cable, or buy it in the bargain bin, but don't pay full price for this one.

As other reviewers have stated, this film COULD have been an interesting take on a coming out experience with a supernatural/killer twist to it, but in the end all it seems to be is poorly written and self-hating.
While the two leads who play brother and sister did have chemistry and could act, the lame plot takes away from anything else the movie has to offer. By the end, I thought, I wasted 90 minutes of my life on this mess? Thank goodness I rented it.
I suggest you avoid this movie, but if you want to watch some wonderful coming-of-age movies that have an amazing plot, terrific acting and brilliant directing then buy: "Latter Days," or "Shelter." Or if you prefer your movies with a little supernatural twist to them, then get "Back Soon." But leave "In the Blood" in the rubbish bin where it belongs!

At the conclusion of this movie I wondered what had been the point of the last 80 minutes.Not terribly likeable characters and the conclusion was rushed. How the perpetrator of these crimes was caught is never really explained....or maybe it was and I had mentally switched off by this stage...
One of those DVD's I will give away rather than keep as I would never watch it a second time
