Quick Hit

Doctor Blood's Coffin has feeling in the dark corners, which keeps it well below the line. I can see the ache, not always the shape.

Full Take

This one lives in atmosphere first and story second, which can be a blessing or a problem. If the characters don’t pull you in, the style can only carry so much weight. British genre discipline gives the film a cleaner shape than many of its pulp peers. The strongest scenes feel like panic curdling into self-destruction. That tension is why it settles at BAD.
