Blooded review

Don't mess with animal rights activists...

Why you can trust GamesRadar+ Our experts review games, movies and tech over countless hours, so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about our reviews policy.

Brit director Ed Boase aims wide in his feature debut, a mockumentary based on animal-rights activists’ actions, but too thin to pass as provocation or drama.

Five friends recall a Highlands trip led by pro-hunting Lucas Bell (Nick Ashdon), where they were drugged, stripped and shot at by anti-hunting activists making a viral video.

A cleverly conceptual premise, but mounting hysteria muddies Boase’s take on extremism and several over-scripted talking-head sequences detach us from the characters’ situation. We know they live, so where’s the tension?

Not much meat on this beast.
