With a certain kind of horror, a laugh’s as good as a scream, and Books of Blood delivers plenty of the former.
Beyond fleeting moments of graphic violence and nudity, the knife’s edge here is actually quite dull.

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