Blooded (15)

Thriller

In October 2005, five young people were kidnapped in the Highlands of Scotland. Stripped and abandoned in the the wilderness, they were forced into a deadly game where the hunters became the hunted. Their ordeal was filmed by an extreme animal rights group as a warning to others: if you hunt... you're fair game.


The critical consensus

A compelling look at extremism in all its guises, Blooded boasts some genuine scares despite a narrative structure that allows little room for surprises.

***(*)(*)Nev Pierce, Empire Online, 29/03/2011

Not entirely competent drama on the issue of animal hunting.

*(*)(*)(*)(*)Anthony Quinn, The Independent, 01/04/2011

A hokey idea, and badly botched.

*(*)(*)(*)(*)Cath Clarke, The Guardian, 31/03/2011

Except for standout Adam Best, the cast aren’t sharp enough to pull off the curious, unwieldy conceit of having two sets of actors play fictitious people.

**(*)(*)(*)Tim Robey, The Telegraph, 01/04/2011

The blood quickly drains out of Blooded.

**(*)(*)(*)Henry Fitzherbert, Daily Express, 01/04/2011

Centres with something less than total conviction on a quintet of dislikable upper-middle-class blood sports enthusiasts.

Philip French, The Observer, 03/04/2011

Not much meat on this beast.
