This movie started out pretty decent. Had token characters for a horror flick and the acting was above average. It started with what seemed like it could be a decent story. Girl who seems important disappears for some reason because of locals. then come to present day. Pregnant lady needs help with a flat and gets it from what seems like a nice sheriff. Friends and relative show up for house warming party, They decide to visit this abandoned prison. That's when stuff starts to happen. It start to build up pretty good and it looks like we start to get answers. The evil inmate we learn was framed by police and the chance for redemption because of the advancement of DNA tests causes the police to....wait, kill all the inmates? Uhm, ok. Then everything falls flat. I don't know if they ran out of time or budget but so much is left unexplained. Why are these locals killing everyone? What's the importance of the birth mark? Why did Evil Inmate protect the main character and her brother? I really wanted to enjoy this film but right when it started getting good they just dropped the ball. The only redeeming factor was the actors. I hope they get a shot at another film because they were the best part and you could tell they tried to put their heart into their characters.

This had to be the stupidest horror movie on Netflix that I have seen so far. Why did this young couple with a baby on the way move to this God awful hick town in the middle of nowhere? Why does the husband have his wife drive him to this abandoned prison to go ghost hunting, after he said it's BS? What is the significance of the friend's schizophrenia and why was it even brought up? How does the woman survive a roll over in her car despite being 8 months pregnant and by the way, she can run pretty fast for a woman about to give birth! This movie was just so ridiculous, what was the point? Why did they need the blood? What happened to the little girl? I don't get it. Did give some kudos for the acting, but that's it. This was ridiculous!

I'm a big fan of low budget horror and this one clearly had enough backing behind it to not let its budget hamper its production values, but that is about all this movie has going for it! The characters have nothing to them and the plot jumps about with little sense or reason.Sometimes when a movie has shallow characters and directionless writing it is at least saved by big original or daring in what it is trying to portray, not here. Instead we are given a generic plot and a bunch of clichés, just jumbled up so it doesn't even make a standard horror movie. It is boring and yet confused at the same time, I'm not even sure how that is possible!Overall I can't recommend this movie, it's not like it's even 'so bad it's good', it's just bad because it has no real entertainment value and very little to say for itself. You would not be missing out to watch most any other low budget horror movie instead of this, seriously.

**SPOILER CONTAINED**"Bleed" did not disappoint--it was confusing from beginning to end. A husband and wife move out to the middle of nowhere. The husband is a doctor; the wife, a teacher. On the way home from grocery shopping, the wife has a flat tire and is helped out by a local law enforcement officer. He notices a mark on her neck. And then it gets real weird. The newlywed couple have invited another couple to join them in a celebration. A celebration of what the viewer never really finds out. The female is supposed to be clairvoyant, or something. She senses something in the house as soon as they arrive. The wife's brother and his "flavor-of-the-month" arrive uninvited. He and his girl are supposed to be in tune with the spirit world, although you'd never think they do anything but...well...you know. Through a dare, two couples and the husband (sans wife) decide to visit a burned down prison. Confused enough? "Bleed" just didn't cut the muster for me. It skips around so much. You never really know what the hell is going on. Questions abound with answers never being supplied. I could not really tell you what this was about. Oh, but everybody dies.Rated "R" for brief nudity, simulated sex, language, and violence.
