Enlightened Blood

Cinequest 2008

La Sangre Illuminada. I liked it. You probably won’t. I have some sort of soft spot for films from Mexico and I’m not sure why, but they always appeal to me. It definitely bordered on the “too weird” line, but because I could pull a little sense out of it, I give it an okay. Jason gives a great synopsis of it so I am going to be lazy and not bother explaining something that’s not easy to explain.

I will say that everyone leaving the theater with me seemed to dislike it at least a little, so I don’t feel quite right saying that because I liked it then you should all try it too. I will say though that the story had an interesting idea and if you’re determined to watch it you just may get something out of it.

Oh, also it showed a man stabbing himself through his nasal cavity with a screwdriver. So there’s that.

Now available on DVD! How lucky! <– Tiny bit of sarcasm there.
