Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

jlh32691 Here is a movie that has the feel of early 70's horror films. It's very gritty, it's very dark and in some parts gross. Yet it's a VERY slow movie so you have to be patient with it.It's about a girl who Cheats on her bf with basically a stranger. Then a couple days later, her and her bf take a trip to the mountains to do some bike riding and the stranger she cheated on with her bf is there and he kills her bf. So she has to survive in the wild while running from the killer.This idea is somewhat original and the mountain setting is beautiful and refreshing for the genre. The music is perfect for the movie and it really sets the mood. However, the ending is abrupt and the pacing of this film is very slow. At some points of the movie I was making myself watch it and since this is a very slow film with a not so good ending I can't give this more than 6 out of 10.

anxietyresister Don't you just hate it when people in jeopardy behave like morons just to prolong suspense? Take 'Blood Trails', for instance. This film has some of the most stupid behaviour of any potential murder victim I've seen in my life, but first lets concentrate on that title. You'd never guess, but the majority of the action takes places on a biking trail near a mountain, and lots of people get killed on it. Blood. Trails. It has a double meaning. DO. YOU. SEE?? Alas, this is the same level of intelligence the director and writer display throughout, as people make unfathomable decisions and end up inevitably as lifeless corpses. You have allow for a certain amount of leeway in slashers but come on, check out this bunch of howlers:1. If you get the opportunity to escape in a car, take it. Don't try to reverse and run over the psycho, and certainly don't assume that just because you can't see him any longer, he's dead. Or you might just end up with an axe in your fuel tank.2. If confronted with said psycho, do not throw only weapon you have at him because if you miss, you'll be defenceless and prone to attack.3. If the psycho turns his back to you and you happen to find a sharp knife to ambush him with, its usually a good idea not to make a lot of noise as you approach him, for he may just hear you and smack you in the gob, putting you on the floor and halting your worthy effort.4. If you somehow find yourself in possession of a cellphone in the wilderness and you reach a high enough peak in the wilderness to get reception to call 911, you should listen to the advice of the operator to STAY WHERE YOU ARE so they can find you with a helicopter within a few minutes. DO NOT run a mile from your present location just because you see a horrible sight. No, not Sharon Osborne, but your dead boyfriend crucified on a cross with his blood dribbling on you.5. If a strange girl covered in blood enters your vehicle and asks for help rescuing her boyfriend (who has any sane person could work out is brown bread by now) either contact the authorities or drop her off at the hospital. The guy in this film looks like he's going to be sensible and do the latter, but without much convincing from our lass in peril he backtracks, then takes his gun and advances on said psycho asking him for his credentials. I think you can guess what happens next..6. ..Which brings me neatly to 6, where I must tell you that no fewer than three people in this movie have their guns trained on the psycho at any one time, but somehow he is able to disarm and kill them all with just a lil wee knife. Is he some kind of army Marine? Nope, just a deranged cop who is the victim of a stupid screenplay.7. You're a lumberjack and you're OK. You sleep all night and you work all day. You also never warn people when you're felling trees, you throw around people's bikes when you're in a bad mood, and if your mate gets slaughtered by a psycho you rush over there unarmed like a lemming over a cliff to impale yourself on a sharp object. At least according to this script you do. If you have a union, I think you should sue. Get all copies of this removed from the shelves for misrepresentation. I don't have an ulterior motive, honest..8. Finally, after psycho abducts you, dresses your wounds, feeds you dinner, ties you up, cuts your legs open (you know, the usual) you're maybe wanna going to take some revenge. But this being a E-list horror film, being impaled through the head isn't going to be enough for him, is it? No, only when you've got a shard of glass and stabbed him through the throat with it, then you can relax. And the film ends LITERALLY THAT SECOND. Yay.So, in essence this is a badly directed (Check out all the pointless sped up and black and white scenes) badly acted ( Ben Price's performance as the monosyllabic psycho is laughably unconvincing) badly written (see above) and well, just all round bad really. I wouldn't be surprised if the catering on set was bad, too. Any cast members wanna PM me with complaints about their grub to confirm my suspicions? I hear lots of copies of Robbie Williams's flop Rudebox CD album were buried in a desert landfill somewhere because they wouldn't sell. How's about we fly out every DVD of Blood Trails too and dispose of them the same way? They can keep each other company! Come on now, What d'ya say?????? 1/10

ttb_1984 Hi, this is the first review I ever write on IMDb, and sadly, it has to be very negative.. I liked the beginning, that is the first 2 minutes, but after that it's just downhill. In the first part of the movie you don't really care about any of the characters. Perhaps the poor fellow who has a cheating girlfriend, but he turns out to be such a whiner and he goes first.Now only the girlfriend is left, and she is unbelievable stupid! I know that some of the guys here says that "she ain't REALLY trying to escape, y'know? It's somethin' with sex and psychology, ye'know??" No, I don't know that. Even though she may be attracted to him, how would I know? She is not telling me, because she only moans, screams and makes stupid faces which is not at all representative for her current situation. Like for instance when she throws a rock 2 meters away to make th killer look that way and she looks like she has won a trophy!!? What is that? Even though he might be 2 meters off, he still knows where you are!? And after she thinks she has driven him down (by a slowly accelerating diesel-truck, even if the guy was blind and had broken both legs it would not have worked!!) she gets an awkward satisfied grimace?And what about her trying to get the keys, "but she can't take them because there are BLOOD on them!?" Well miss, you have been running around for hours pretty much painted in the blood of your boyfriend (not counting the few minutes after you "accidently" drove directly in to a lake).She is just SO unbelievable, and after at most one hour, you really wish that she would die fast. She is just so incredibly stupid, and she gets nervous breakdown in the most random times! It goes like, "Oh Christ NO, she is screaming again now.." and "What is she doing NOW?" "Why is she doing that?" "What is wrong NOW?" etc etc...I'm not so much writing this as a warning, as a mean to let out some steam, because I'm boiling! This is one of the worst movies ever made. I of course forgot about the killer.. Actually his character might be okay, but the best way to phrase it is to say that he is IMBALANCED! He has surveillance all over the woods, he can teleport at will and he even knows what she will do next ALTHOUG this seems to me the most RANDOM thing to predict. IMBALANCED!Okay, cheers.. Thomas

jnnhighsmith I watched the movie without knowing anything about it and I was really surprised! The premise is simple and not very original, but it works really well. The beautiful and stunning locations, all the great mountain imagery is captured in powerful compositions. The acting is superb. Anne isn't your average horror movie victim. She is a strong woman with a dark side. Sometimes her actions follow the genre's clichés a little too much, but her character's core is original, especially for a horror-thriller. Even Chris, who seems to be more of a stereotypical villain in the first two thirds gets a more human and thereby even more frightening face in the last third.The movie is not action & horror overkill. Instead it offers a surprisingly dark and terrifying cat and mouse game with an especially intense finale. I can only recommend it!
