Matthew Spence’s Edinburgh Film Reviews

In Enlightened Blood directed by Ivan Avila Duenas, six unrelated people undergo a serious physical change. As the film changes focus to the different ones, they all have the same locket around their neck. An entity of some sort enters their bodies and then leaves them wondering where they are and what happened.

I found this film to be quite confusing for the first hour. It lacked an explanation or a focus at the beginning as to what was really going on. I only started understanding the movie after the last character showed up, so I cannot do this film justice. In my opinion, the film would have been better if it had explained beforehand a small amount of what was going on, instead of jumping from character to character.

Trees: 2.5/5
