4/5 Relax, it's good fun
  by E. Montgomery (Seattle, WA, USA)
Okay, if you are looking for a deep and intelligent film this is not the movie for you. But then again, horror is probably not the genre for you. However, if you are looking for a movie that makes you scream and laugh (mostly unintentionally, but that is another joy of the genre) then I think this movie is a perfect fit. I love this movie - it entertains me. It also doesn't hurt that Jonas Armstrong is a fox.
Happy watching!

2/5 PARANORMAL NONSENSE
  by Michael Butts (Martinsburg, WV USA)
I'VE NEVER BEEN OVERLY IMPRESSED WITH THE MOVIES MADE ON BARKER'S WORKS..WITH PERHAPS THE EXCEPTION OF HELLRAISER. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE SOME SPOOKY MOMENTS, THEY CAN'T COMPENSATE FOR THE CONVOLUTED PLOT. THE REVELATION THAT SOPHIE WARD'S CHARACTER IS THE VILLAIN COMES OUT OF NOWHERE. MAYBE I'M JUST TOO CONVENTIONAL BUT I JUST DIDN'T LIKE THIS FILM.

1/5 Horrible. Absolutley horrible.
  by Heather L. Elliott (USA)
This movie was revolting. The people that made it should be ashamed.
These wonderful works by Clive Barker have been violated by this movie. I am proud of Clive Barker for not actually directing this.
It never touched on a single actual "Book of Blood" which are short stories, since the movie didn't even allude to that.
Also, the sex scenes were too racy and normal to even remotely be attached to Clive Barker's name. If you follow his work, you know that it is a rare occurrence that simple heterosexual sex ending in orgasm and a night in bed together happens. Clive usually throws in a cenobite or at least minimal mutilation.
I believe that these people that made this movie, slapped "Clive Barker" on the title and figured it would make money. They didn't get my 18 dollars.
Also, the "how books of blood were made" idea of the movie, was not enough substance to even make four paragraphs in a book, let alone a movie.

I want my two hours back.

1/5 BORING
  by Lex Luthor
I rented this just because Clive Barker's name was attached to it and I know he's the guy that made Hellraiser so I expected some really evil stuff. I guess Clive is really into ripping skin off but not much else happens in this. It's nearly two hours of boredom. I watched this for about the first hour just waiting and waiting for something interesting to happpen, like some cool paranormal things. Very little happened and my interest in the movie quickly faded. I suffered all the way to the end and it was very disappointing. Avoid this one!

2/5 Sadly disappointed
  by Albert F. Yuen
I was looking forward to this movie, after being entertained by the recent Midnight Meat Train release. Sadly, I was quite disappointed. Certainly not one of Clive's better works. It moved too slowly and the romantic connection between the main characters were overplayed.
