It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
just want to echo what so many others have said about this awful film. just had the misfortune to catch it on the Horror Channel. To say that the heroine does stupid things is an understatement - others have listed them.what really annoys me are the writers. every single cliché in this film i have seen a hundred times before in other similar fare. do the writers of these films copy each other deliberately or don't they realize they are just repeating what we have all seen before.cant they use their brains to come up with something even slightly original - even if they are going to copy the basic premise of unstoppable bad guy after the heroine.as another reviewer said - you can guess everything that is going to happen - right down to the inevitable 'twist' ending - gosh - never saw that coming - much.my advice is to avoid at all costs - please - for the sake of your sanity
This is an extremely sick idea of a "love" story. Its about some kind-faced psychopath with sparkling blue eyes who obsessively chases and stalks the girl he had previously had a violent one night stand with. For some reason she is the girl of his dreams??????? and he ruthlessly murders anyone and anything that will prevent him from having her at the palm of his hands. I actually believe that he wanted her all to himself and would not have hurt her if she had just complied with his wishes/demands. I really liked this movie as it provided something different from the typical horror movies of today. The scenery is spectacular!
This is a terrific watch. You will get the idea of what goes on from other comments so I won't repeat all that. A little muddled for the first 20 minutes or so, once the fun starts the movie takes off. The tension is breathtaking and at times the director winds his audience up so tightly that my nerves were jangling. If you enjoy movies like "High Tension" and "The Descent" or "Them" you will love this gem. The lead actress is English,Rebecca Palmer, who for some reason was asked to play Anne as an American. Any way she played it would have been great and she is the film. A really demanding role physically as well as artistically and she was really and truly up for it and delivers brilliantly. An added bonus is that she is attractive and displays a very pleasing rear aspect. (Sadly it remains wrapped). Buy it or rent it, you won't regret it.
I didn't expect much from this movie, but "Blood Trails" turned out as a very pleasant surprise. It's a gritty, unpleasant slasher movie, not timid, but effective by suspense rather than splatter. Even though the final confrontation is inevitable, the actual outcome remains unpredictable until (literally!) the last split-second.Cinematography and editing are beautiful, often relying on extreme close-ups that reflect the tunnel-vision panic of the leading character. Thereby, the movie creates a dense, believable atmosphere. The bicycle theme is an interesting variation, lending both independence and vulnerability to the heroine. The lead actress is probably the strongest asset of the movie: Rebecca Palmer is absolutely great here.Highly recommended!
