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.
A compelling look at extremism in all its guises, Blooded boasts some genuine scares despite a narrative structure that allows little room for surprises.
Not entirely competent drama on the issue of animal hunting.
A hokey idea, and badly botched.
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.
The blood quickly drains out of Blooded.
Centres with something less than total conviction on a quintet of dislikable upper-middle-class blood sports enthusiasts.
Not much meat on this beast.
