They say blood is thicker than water, but after Thanksgiving dinner, gravy is thicker than both—and in my flesh, apparently!
It's a family affair.
The movie is fine but I keep thinking Dylan McDermott and Dermot Mulroney are the same person and this entire time watching that kept fucking with me thinking of an imaginary offspring of the two named Dermot McDermott
Definitely a better movie than The Body. Let’s go Into The Dark, get gud!
Dermot Mulroney is so sexy!
There will be no Thanksgiving for this family.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Just your average murderous fatherly gaslighting.
„Into the Dark: Fleisch und Blut“
Müder Eintrag in die Anthologie, weder Fleisch noch Blut, von Spannung (bis auf das Finale) keine Spur, die Handlung überraschungsfrei , die Darsteller geben sich zwar redlich Mühe, kommen aber bei der lahmen Story nicht vom Fleck.
Patrick Lussier (Drive angry) kurbelt das Ganze routiniert runter, mehr aber auch nicht.
Ob Daddy jetzt nun der Serienkiller ist oder nicht interessiert einem nach einer gewissen Zeit auch nicht mehr.
Kann man getrost auslassen.
Lussier directs with solid tension throughout (as he did w/ the My Bloody Valentine remake), but it's really ALL about Diana Silvers. She's such a solid screen presence and shows that she's more than game for more horror in the future.
A decent little one location thriller. I like the setup, it creates a nicely claustrophobic feeling, and Diana Silvers gives a good performance. Besides the agoraphobic segments though, it is a bit on the bland side visually. It's also not as good at pulling the wool over your eyes as one would hope it would be, which puts Dermot Mulroney in a tough spot performance wise. I think he does a fine job, and shines in a couple moments, but he's just written all over the place. There's enough suspense to carry it through though, even if the conclusion is expected.
I really need to stop stumbling into these unnervingly COVID-era-appropriate films.
Flesh & Blood is a clear step above the tepidly pandering The Body but it's still a long way from reaching the potential of a truly good entry in the Into the Dark-verse. Diana Silvers continues to make a promising name for herself, Dermot Mulroney has some wild fun, and on pure entertainment terms alone, this is well-paced and engaging enough to satisfy the minimum requirement of a streaming horror offering. Still, with Patrick Lussier (the madman behind lowbrow epics Drive Angry and My Bloody Valentine) at the helm, this feels like a missed opportunity to have some kitschy, bad taste fun.
P.S. **SPOILERS BELOW**
I'm bummed that this went…
diana silvers oiiiii
“Including the pie, which frankly, you don’t deserve..”
You know, this has probably been my favorite of the Into the Dark episodes so far. I honestly think it’s because of the Thanksgiving theme. For me, Thanksgiving isn’t a fun holiday. It’s a chore and an obligation, so it’s nice to see some people die on my least favorite holiday. I guess that’s just my thing now?
On a serious note, I really liked the dynamic this movie had going on. The father legitimately reminded me of Tim Allen. I don’t mean like if Tim Allen went nuts. I mean like the dad in this movie is how I think Tim Allen actually is. If you told me Tim the Tool…
For Flesh & Blood to be a Thanksgiving themed horror flick, it had absolutely nothing to do with Thanksgiving lol...
Anyway...
Flesh & Blood is one of those slow burn, one setting thrillers. This one can be split into two halves for me. The 1st half of the film was slow paced which is understandable as they wanted you to meet the 3 central characters. The 2nd half of the film was much more fast paced n bloody as the father/daughter pair play a very intense game of cat n mouse. Dermot Mulroney was menacing as the dad who'd do absolutely anything to protect his daughter. Diana Silvers was great as the determined agoraphobic daughter. Not a ton of blood but when the time called for bloodshed it was effective.

No episódio "Flesh & Blood" de "Into the Dark" (2018), é notável como o diretor trabalha com a limitação do espaço, criando uma tensão que nunca ultrapassa os limites propostos. O cenário quase claustrofóbico é usado com precisão, mantendo o foco na personagem principal e no perigo iminente que a cerca, sem recorrer a exageros. Essa contenção espacial se torna uma peça-chave na narrativa, contribuindo para a sensação de isolamento e vulnerabilidade.
A protagonista é habilmente desconstruída ao longo da trama, de uma forma que espelha sua própria busca por autocompreensão. O espectador a vê, gradativamente, revelando suas camadas internas, em um ritmo que se alinha perfeitamente com sua jornada emocional e psicológica. Esse desenvolvimento é conduzido de maneira quase cirúrgica,…
