“Blood Born” (*1/2 out of four) was a misconceived horror melodrama about a young couple (Rosie Moss and Antoine Perry) who are unable to have children but soon find an elderly woman (Melanie Haynes) and a mysterious doctor (Cole Gerdes) who can fulfill their dreams of having a child but soon find that they are both engulfed in strange rituals and practices that may have deadly consequences. Writer/director Reed Shusterman came up with this story while him and his wife were trying to conceive so he apparently had other things on his mind but that hardly explains why film is so cheesy and bland. 2004’s “Godsend” covered a similar story with more skills and scares.
