If most of the time your life won’t go the paths you’d had expected, just imagine how weird it can be sometimes to meet again childhood friends who you haven’t seen in decades. Grown families, weird jobs, sexuality changes, many times they are not the kind of people they used to be. Still, it’s always good to see again those long lost friends, I recommend it, it won’t always end up in horrifying experiences. Although in the horror and mystery movie The Bloodhound (2020) that goes a little south.
The movie centers on Francis, a dispossessed young man who is summoned to the secluded home of his wealthy childhood friend, JP Luret, who is suffering from a mysterious affliction. Upon his arrival, Francis realizes that JP and his ethereal twin sister Vivian are the sole surviving members of the privileged Luret family, whose legacy has been one of depression and self-destruction, and the only occupants of their family estate. As the old friends attempt to reconnect, a number of inexplicable incidents begin to occur within the house, and Francis finds himself drawn into a world of malaise and despair, where an act of betrayal might provide his only way out.
