Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies Aug 15, 2025
2.5/5
Ford hits his genre beats and doesn’t skimp on the blood. Still, I can’t help but wish the movie had pushed things further. A little more risk could have made a world of difference. Go to Full Review

Whether the entire subgenre has overstayed its welcome or it’s simply a matter of taste, one thing is for certain: River of Blood failed to dive beneath the surface of its premise, leaving this cannibal movie all bark and no bite. Go to Full Review

[T]he only cut-rate part of River of Blood is its story. It's really, really cheap on several levels, though. Go to Full Review

Houde F @houde Oct 2, 2026 River of Blood delivers standard genre fare straight by the book. The setting is as baseline as it gets, and the cast turns in an average, completely middle-of-the-road performance. Where the film stumbles most is its narrative. The whole "indigenous tribe threatened by civilization" trope feels forced and overly artificial. It’s a tired formula that nobody is genuinely buying anymore. To its credit, the movie does what it set out to do - it delivers a decent enough time and keeps you entertained while it lasts. Just don't expect any kind of intellectual exercise or deep commentary here. Verdict: Decent for a one-time watch, but largely forgettable. See more Schenone S @Steven117 Sep 26, 2026 Very bad. Slow, bloodthirsty movie. See more Jay L @Jay.Livin Aug 16, 2026 This is a good boredom buster but nothing special. The beginning does a pretty good with showing you the dynamic of the friend group and the awkwardness between the couples. There’s a few good jump scares and relationship drama but that’s about it. The ending was underwhelming to say the least it felt like the writers wanted to write a dramatic ending but it fell flat. See more Mike S @RT46129808 Aug 8, 2026 People doing stupid things are the bane of horror movies. In this movie, there are people doing remarkably stupid things. Attractive Thai location but nothing else attractive about this woeful movie. See more Max M @Househuntermax Jul 2, 2026 It’s about what you expect it to be. Mildly entertaining. OK for movie night I guess. See more Dainard B @Dainard Jun 28, 2026 Please don’t waste your time with this garbage See more Read all reviews
