Blending elements of crime-thriller and revisionist Western, Blood on Her Name delivers a uniquely exciting experience. Go to Full Review Cary Darling Houston Chronicle 02/28/2020
4/5
Anchored by a magnetic performance from Bethany Anne Lind ("Ozark") who is in nearly every scene, "Blood on Her Name" is an engrossing exercise in Southern neo-noir that doesn't waste a moment of its marathon-runner lean 83 minutes. Go to Full Review Odie Henderson RogerEbert.com 02/28/2020
2/4
Allowing the viewer to piece things together on their own is always welcome, but the film's desire to surprise and outwit makes it contrived. Go to Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies 08/19/2022
4.5/5
The concept is really simple, but it’s the proficient and confident execution that makes this slick southern noir sizzle. Go to Full Review Lindsay Traves CGMagazine 02/24/2021
8/10
It's tense and unrelenting, and a ferocious exploration of moral codes when tested as against an unjust reality. Go to Full Review Rhys Bowen Jones JumpCut Online 02/01/2021
3/5
The film's short runtime is a benefit to both the story and the viewers; it feels lean and well-paced while also providing a satisfyingly blood-soaked climax. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

sallie P 02/28/2020 Great twists, and kept you on edge. A “who gone it” with a unique ending. See more Terry T @RT42565521 12/03/2024 The first 20-30 minutes were good. Then a complete let down after that. See more Jeffrey P @vanillavoodoo1 03/13/2023 Intriguing from the start; well-acted and well shot. The story is somewhat thin, not sure why it was in the horror section, and leaves you waiting for something, anything, to happen that never fully does. Also, the characters aren't exactly ones to sympathize or empathize or side with which makes the ending not shocking, just solid and deserved. One big positive was that it was mostly unpredictable. Odd movie to review, definitely a role reversal of sorts. See more Brad P @Bradster69 03/06/2023 Blood on Her Name is tense, tough, and tender at the same time. With an outstanding performance from its lead, this neo-noir shouldn't be missed. See more 01/02/2023 Meh. Good acting but it was lacklustre so I blame the director. We watched it only cause of the very high critic rating. Just goes to prove that the audience rating is sometimes a better meter. See more the_real_ s @RT62324189 01/06/2022 Again one of those movies where I don't quite get the high number of positive critics reviews. I found this movie immensely annoying at times. It's really hard to root for a protagonist that is basically portrayed as the stupidest character in the history of cinema. Bethany Anne Lind is awesome in the role but the character acts so annoyingly stupid through most of the movie it's unbelievable. The only thing stopping the movie from falling on its face completely are some actually interesting and believable plot twist that redeem the movie to some extend towards the end. And the final 15 minutes are actually gripping and very well made. Still, could have been much better and not nearly as good as the critcs score suggests. See more Read all reviews
