Rating 3 only for the commitment of the two main actresses.

Spirit in the Blood is one of those films that seems to begin with the premise of a teen thriller but quickly reveals itself to be directionless. The plot begins with a teenager with a difficult relationship with her father, a newcomer who is out of place at school and ends up getting close to another girl, who has her own personal problems. The two girls join three others and devise a very amateurish ritual, with a perpetual tone of childish nonsense, to try to uncover the existence of a supposed monster in the jungle, responsible for mysterious attacks and deaths.The problem is that, viewed from the outside, the narrative immediately shows signs of disorganization: poorly developed characters, superficial motivation, dialogue that adds little substance, and a structure that seems improvised. There is no coherence in the plot, and it seems as if each scene was created without a solid narrative plan. Add to this the lack of creativity and talent of the writers and director, a complacent cast, the absurd intellectual incapacity of the population, and the incompetence of the local police in dealing with the events, and we have the perfect storm.The climax and denouement are somewhat emotional, but instead of tying up loose ends or creating any impact, they reinforce the impression that the story was constructed on the fly. The result is a confusing, illogical, and, above all, boring film-a waste of time even for those who enjoy the experimental trash genre.If there were a ritual to summon a better script, the characters should have tried it first.

No pun intended - the movie is really slow, but my reference(s) are not about that ... of course the title plays a role, but also the relationship(s) between the characters. Be it family or friend wise - yes there is more to this movie than meets the eye.Now having said that, I will say that I view the ending in a light that may not have been intended. I am quite certain that it means what I think it means (with the character being called out by our main protagonist ... which would be circling back to a moment where the family is being stopped by a cop - routine check? Well trust your eyes when you see something - even if it's not there - you'll understand).Acting is good, but I have seen movies with a similar theme ("hidden" message that is kind of clear if you see and hear the signs) ... I still think that this coming of age story deserves and has its own right of existence ... as does the girl ... who has to cope and defend herself ... in more ways than one!

Boring and predictable.

When you watch a lot of movies and series like I do there are some movies I have to review immediately just after watching it, and certainly not wait until the next day as I will have forgotten everything about it. Spirit In The Blood is one of those movies, nothing special about it, boring at one point, and full of annoying characters. Is there anything else more annoying than bickering teenage girls? I can't think of anything else and that's basically seventy percent of what you get when watching this not very entertaining story. Pretty predictable as well so in short nothing that will make you want to watch this movie again in the future. I will for sure not watch it again.
