Books of Blood Ratings & Reviews
AV Club
Katie Rife
Beyond fleeting moments of graphic violence and nudity, the knife's edge here is actually quite dull.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
The greatest sin here is that Books of Blood is too generic to be remembered, despite bearing the name of someone who redefined the genre.
New York Times
Amy Nicholson
Barker's books were confettied and assembled by leaf blower, along with a few pilfered pages from Jordan Peele
Chicago Reader
Catey Sullivan
Books of Blood doesn't pass the horror test...
Variety
Peter Debruge
With a certain kind of horror, a laugh's as good as a scream, and "Books of Blood" delivers plenty of the former.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
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.
Common Sense Media
Brian Costello
Blood, gore, suicide in Clive Barker horror stories.
eFilmCritic.com
Erik Childress
The actors do the best they can, particularly Friel and Robertson, but none of the stories are particularly involving.
Reason Online
Glenn Garvin
A genuinely creepy collection of stories that collide as they snowball down a hill of murder, suicide, and ghosts, ultimately forming into something that you'll be sorry you watched when it's time to turn the lights out.
Decider
John Serba
Scares and atmosphere are in short supply.
Film Threat
Bobby LePire
There is not a single reason to ever watch this movie.
The Spool
Theo Estes
This may be a decent fix for those itching for some new Barker, but it's probably better to just revisit one of his classics.
Polygon
Jesse Hassenger
Most closely resembles a 1980s horror anthology like Cat's Eye, only with more narrative ambition and less overall spooky-story satisfaction.
Den of Geek
David Crow
I'd like to say... Books of Blood lands closer to the hypnotic thrall of Hellraiser or Candyman, but this messy and ultimately garish film goes down like '80s junk of the Rawhead Rex variety.
The Only Critic
Nate Adams
Everything in "Books of Blood" is rushed to completion, and the audience is left to pick up the pieces of all the nonsense In between. Any hope of jump starting a "Books of Blood" interconnected cinematic universe should be put to rest.
Showbiz Cheat Sheet
Fred Topel
Give Books of Blood credit for trying to weave its three stories together, but it already wasn't working as an anthology. At this point, the film just returns you to stories you were glad were over, and were already too long for an anthology.
Film Inquiry
Reyzando Nawara
While the concept and new stories sound promising, Braga's lack of clear direction and the uninspired execution from nearly every aspect of the movie sadly makes Books of Blood so toothless in the end.
CBR
Josh Bell
Braga seems to be reaching for a way to justify the adaptation as a feature film, but there's no thematic unity to the stories, and the bland, TV-level presentation never captures the weird horror tone of Barker's stories.
ComicBook.com
Jenna Anderson
Hulu's Books of Blood self-sabotages creating an aggressively-okay adaptation that barely scratches the surface of Clive Barker's weirdness, and doesn't say nearly as much as it could about the intersection between horror, trauma, and apathy.
But Why Tho? A Geek Community
Kate Sánchez
Books of Blood is a great film for the spooky season. While it isn't groundbreaking, it offers up good body horror, a solid narrative, and feels like horrifying stories told around the campfire.
