BLOOD BORN Movie Plot
When the movie opens, we meet a woman who has royally screwed up a ritual causing too much blood loss in her patient.
We don't learn much more about it and are introduced to Makayla and Eric, a couple attending a support group for people who want kids but are unable to do so and are traumatized.
Makayla recounts her four miscarriages and hopes her husband will understand she doesn't want to try anymore. Eric comes up and pretty much announces that he is always going to keep trying and he hopes his wife will be on board with it.
Makayla spends most of her days making paintings of apples with her friend Cherise who is a better artist than her.
She tells her friend of her frustration at being unable to conceive and Cherise promptly tells her about her cousin Susan who managed to conceive even after having a hysterectomy. Now here's the kicker: Cherise hasn't actually gone to see her cousin or seen her nephew. But that doesn't stop her from recommending to Makayla that she follows the same procedure as Susan.
Makayla immediately calls Susan who also doesn't give away a warning. Instead, she tells Makayla to approach the Gravida Foundation to make her dreams of becoming a mommy come true.
After discussing with Eric, the couple welcomes Ola from the Gravida Foundation to show them magic tricks with a chicken. The couple is not convinced but Eric's argument is that they've tried literally everything to become parents except for magic.
They decide to try magic as a last resort to become parents. If that doesn't work, Eric has promised to get dogs.
The way the story progresses, you wonder if perhaps they should have just gotten the dogs instead.
Nevertheless, the couple agrees to opt for magic, and also Ola who is going to interfere in their lives from now on.
She puts them on a strict diet and rules but the couple is desperate enough to comply with all of them. Soon enough the night comes where the baby must be conceived. Ola is there every step of the way, chanting away, indulging in voyeurism.
The very next morning, Makayla is ravenous and then immediately throws up. The first sign of pregnancy.
They don't go to a hospital to get a second opinion, instead, Dr Zekeny is called and he insists the couple use the app to contact him anytime they want. He gives the couple a thumbs up: they are pregnant.
Makayla is overjoyed but this is when the tables are turned and it is now Eric who gets serious doubts. When before Makayla wasn't sure about using magic to conceive, she is now on board after feeling a life growing within her.
Eric is further shocked to learn the baby is coming in a week. He's getting cold feet and perhaps reconsidering getting dogs after all. Too late for that though.
Later that night Makayla has a nightmare and wakes up to find blood on her stomach.
Ola comes to put her mind at ease; the baby is growing quickly because it must do nine months of growing in a week and therefore stretching the skin.
Makayla has some blood on her hand that she licks off. Eric freaks out but Ola keeps dismissing all his fears.
Eric calls the doctor who tells him it is a normal craving. The doctor can only be called at night. This information is supplied neatly into the whole story.
Cherise comes back into the picture when Eric has to call her to take away some of the stuff from his office because his things cannot be in the nursery anymore. His and Makayla's blood is used to paint the nursery too. Eric ends up cutting his palm rather than wait for Ola's instructions. She puts a bandage on his hand which heals his wound but sometime during the night, he hugs his wife and some of his blood seeps on her pregnant belly.
Cherise starts to get doubts at this point now and contacts Susan again who reveals she's at the end of her wits. She says the baby keeps needing to feed all the time and she needs help.
Cherise goes to see her and finds Susan with blood on her T-shirt and sobbing.
She wants Cherise to give her blood and picks up a knife. Cherise barely manages to escape and calls Eric and Makayla. But their phones have already been confiscated and so they don't get the call.
Cherise later comes back to see Susan and freaks out enough to go straight to her friend's house. Ola wants them to get rid of her because Makayla has suffered a complication after Eric's blood touched her belly. But Cherise has her say and refuses to let Makayla stay in the house a minute later. Turns out Susan killed herself and drowned her baby. The baby was a monster.
