“Blood Conscious” (** out of four) was a not-bad horror thriller about a vacationing family (Oghenero Gbaje, DeShawn White, Lenny Thomas, and others) in a cabin in the woods who become besieged by a deranged redneck shooter (Nick Damici) who claims to be fighting sinister and evil forces; is he telling the truth or are they all having mass hallucinations which may kill all of them? Writer/director Timothy Covell holds you with his mood and grip and keeps you watching but film takes a while to get going and never fully escapes or transcends its origins from “The Shining” and “The Strangers.” By this point, maybe its time horror filmmakers made a “conscious” effort to avoid stories about families on vacation and being stuck in the middle of the woods.
