A pseudo-documentary thriller in the Blair Witch Project manner, Blooded centres with something less than total conviction on a quintet of dislikable upper-middle-class blood sports enthusiasts. While hunting deer in a remote corner of the Isle of Mull one October weekend, they have the tables turned on them by a gang of masked hunt saboteurs with a helicopter at their disposal. They're transformed from stalkers to prey in a dodgily sadistic manner, but the moral issues of hunting animals are perfunctorily attended to. Michael Deeley, the producer of The Deer Hunter and Blade Runner, has called it "a genuine British must-see".
