Reviews

Blood Monkey has received a mix of reviews since its release, with a generally negative reception. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a 10% rating, indicating that critics found very little to praise. According to IMDb, it has a score of 3.1/10, highlighting a significant disparity in audience and critical reception. Some reviews have humorously remarked on the film’s shortcomings, labeling it as a product of 'poor CGI and lackluster performances.' A critic on Metacritic noted, 'While the premise of Blood Monkey is intriguing, the execution proves to be underwhelming, with clichéd dialogue and predictable plot twists.' However, there are isolated positives, with some viewers finding enjoyment in its campy approach, referring to it as 'so bad it’s good.' Despite its failings, an audience member described it as a 'unique blend of horror and adventure, if not entirely successful.' Overall, while Blood Monkey offers a distinct premise, it falls short of cinematic excellence, making it a harder sell for mainstream audiences.
