Blood from Stone (2020)
Great Acting, Solid Writing
Joe's life is falling apart. He's self-destructive, he's an alcoholic and he just followed his love, Darya, to Las Vegas to try to make things right with her. It's going about as well as you'd expect. She's had enough and calls his big sister Viktoria to come straighten him out. And that's when all hell breaks loose. You see, they're all vampires. This story unfolds at a leisurely pace, except for the murders which happen swiftly and brutally. The acting is excellent throughout and not just for the main characters, Vanja Kapetanovic, Gabriella Toth and the sublime Nika Khitrova - even the victims bring a lot of weight to their roles. This is a spare, character-driven piece, more like Let the Right One In and less like Twilight. Well-written and thoughtful with some terrific performances.
