2019’s “Blood on Her Name” begins with a compelling mix of violence and shock, establishing a visceral thriller to come concerning one woman’s decision-making process when involved in a deadly act. Co-writer/director Matthew Pope gets about 15 minutes into the feature before he gradually moves away from the potential of the premise, more interested in making a psychological study with “Blood on Her Name,” which isn’t nearly as interesting as the pulpy chiller it initially promises to become.
The AVC encoded image (2.39:1 aspect ratio) presentation for "Blood on Her Name" preserves the feature's distinctly HD-shot appearance, with a slightly softer sense of detail, picking up on rougher facial surfaces and evidence of bodily harm. Interiors explore household and business decoration, and exteriors are dimensional. Color is slightly cooler to sustain suspense, but primaries are appreciable with costuming choices, and greenery is distinct. Colder concrete environments are preserved. Delineation is acceptable. Mild banding is detected, with the 84-minute film squeezed into a 14 GB file.
The 5.1 Dolby Digital mix is serviceable, preserving performances with clean dialogue exchanges. Scoring supports as intended, offering clear instrumentation, including soundtrack selections. Low-end isn't challenged, and surrounds aren't active, with basic atmospherics and violent movement.
"Blood on Her Name" arrives at a more physical conclusion, but the resolution isn't cinematic, more appropriate for a short story. The picture is competently made for a low-budget offering, and the opening act has something worth following. It's the rest of "Blood on Her Name" that lacks tension, failing to build to a satisfying point of pressure despite ample opportunity to do so. Pope wants to keep it real, and that doesn't result in a riveting feature.
