What a really weird film - totally wasn't expecting that. The only thing weirder than this film is its soundtrack - WEIRD. OK so pretty much Daniel Day Lewis uses this movie as a vehicle for showing off. His voice alone deserved the Oscar. Paul Dano however, (Little Miss Sunshine) makes a good attempt at keeping up with Day Lewis, his own weird, creepy and like totally WEIRD Eli / Paul Sunday character, delivers a mesmorising performance of creep. As such his is the only other presence in the movie that justifiably does register - and one just to the left and below that of Day Lewis's mighty shadow. Did you know that there is no dialogue until just shy of 15 minutes. Silence plays a large part in this film, continually fighting against the most beautiful and weirdest of fingernail meets blackboard score by Arvö Pärt and a bit of Brahms chucked in for the mums. So in conclusion the film is weird, long and weird. There will be blood earns an epic, eerie, creepy, monstrous (7.777).
