Horror fans can be “Bloodthirsty,” and they'll probably expect a lot of blood spilled in this one! Grey (Lauren Beatty) is trying to build on her music career, but she’s having some personal struggles. She’s having problems finding the words for her next album, and having some nightmares that she can’t figure out. She’s even seeing a doctor to talk about her issues, and he’s prescribed some medicine that doesn’t appear to help.
Things begin to turn around when a music producer, Vaughn (Greg Bryk), agrees to help her with her music. Grey and her girlfriend Charlie (Katherine King So) take the trip up to his home/studio to stay with him, and work on her music. They get off to a slow start as she continues to struggle with her visions, and he has somewhat cryptic words of encouragement. However the more time the two spend together the more her music begins to take shape. She’s also doing some transformation as a person as well.
This is interesting combination of music and horror. As things play out, the movie certainly sets aside some time for Grey to sing her songs. While it might not be a shock at what’s happening here, the songs she sings are a big clue to it. Yes, she’s got some werewolf in her, and Vaughn is doing his best to pull it out of her. She gives up on being a vegan, and has some changes in her attitude that puts some distance in-between Charlie and herself.
Once horror fans figure out that werewolves are involved they’ll be out for blood, and transformations. It does get bloody, and creates a memorable moment or two. Grey will definitely get a nice mouth full of blood. As for transformations, there’s more facial effects than full body ones. The special effects aren’t bad, and do well with where the movie goes. It’s more about this wolf coming of age and her singing than hunting and killing people.
Fans might not consider werewolves to be musical creatures, but they’re about to meet one that can do more than just howl. This starts out with some mystery about Grey and her issues, but it will soon become clear what’s bothering her. Once the wolf in her starts to be unleashed her music starts to take shape. There will be blood, and transformations as Grey starts to find her place as a musician and a wolf. “Bloodthirsty” is lyrically delicious, and has just enough blood to quench the audience’s thirst. With that said, I give it 3.5 pools of blood.
