‘Books of Blood’ is back again as a film and it is out for streaming on Hulu. Originally, Books of Blood is a collection of six novels that narrate short stories. It was written by Clive Barker and was published between 1984 and 1985. And now, a debutant director Brannon Braga has tried to connect the books with his framework.
Deep View
It is not new for Clive Barker that his books are turning into horror films. Earlier, his books had turned into some above-average movies like ‘Candyman’ and ‘Midnight Meat Train’ which proved career opener for Bradley Cooper. And this time again a fresher is dealing with his books so it will be interesting to see if history repeats itself or not.
The movie from Brannon Braga is styled in the old school compendium. The film revolves around three mean and gory tales.
In the first tale, a human body is badly tortured by several spirits whenever a human scrawls their names. This the only tale which relates the audience with Clive Barker’s novels. The other two tales are the output of Braga’s mind along with some pages from Jordan Peele which are stealth.
The one inspiration is of Britt Robertson who is suffering from misophonia, a condition in which one is very sensitive to sound. Even a sound produced by a drop of water or from her mother eating salad increases her rage. This makes her character interesting in the movie. Britt is playing Jenna in the film.
