With a certain kind of horror, a laugh’s as good as a scream, and Books of Blood delivers plenty of the former. Read full review

While it may seem unfair to compare an adaptation to its excellent source, the creators here lay down that gauntlet right from the beginning, and then fail to meet their own standard. Read full review

Beyond fleeting moments of graphic violence and nudity, the knife’s edge here is actually quite dull. Read full review

Its unusual structure makes it both novel and ungainly. Read full review

Braga’s direction is so bland and tension-free it could not make a cat jump into a tree. The cast all try their best, but only Robertson comes out unscathed. There is not a single reason to ever watch this movie. Read full review

The main problem is there's a whole lot of scary out there this time of year, and Books of Blood winds up in a sort-of creative no-man's land. Even for undemanding souls, this is a pretty skeletal construct. Read full review

It’s a mess — and I’m not just talking about the close-up of a bleeding, ghost-gratified fingernail. Read full review

It probably comes off a little strange if you haven’t read the books, but I thought it was a pretty good horror anthology.

Another disastrous missed opportunity to do Clive Barker justice.

If you're only interested in graphic violence as an excuse for "horror" on Halloween, you may overlook most of its painful shortcomings.

I had the Clive Barker books in my reading list since long ago. After seeing this mess I have no desire to ever getting to read them. Zero atmosphere, corny acting at times and awful rythm.
