Clive Barker's recent film adaptation have been dark in lighting and weak on story and follow through, while they do tend to have a big finish, getting there... Is it worth it? With Book of Blood I would have to agree not. The ghost scenes at the end are spooky and the end does tend to be faithful to the source material, what we have leading up to it just falls flat. A paranormal scientist (Sophie Ward) and her assistant are conducting research in a supposed haunted house when she finds a haunted young man who she will use as the conduit. Now this set-up works but it lasts the majority of the movie just to find out... Well, you'll have to watch the film and see, but I think it causes the movie to have major faults, who knows maybe you've already turned it off and moved on by this point, which just shows it really isn't worth it to get all this build up to be let down and miss out on an ending that is worth watching.
