Yes it does feel like something is missing. In summary, I'd say this is a reasonable watch. There's also a lot of creativity on offer, that taps into and blends, familiar horror tropes. In addition, its intersecting tales have a tidy symmetry once the conclusion has been reached Pacing is decent, scares are more of the gruesome variety than the jump scare's you find in films like "Friday 13th". The characters are, for the most part, developed enough to offer moderate insight into their motivations. That's not to say this is a bad horror film. You get the sense of the underlying work in this film but unsurprisingly, it feels incomplete. Having read two of Barkers books but not the works this film is based upon, I know his writing is often complex and intricate. That said, as is often the case, a lot can get lost in translation, from book to screen. There' s a certain symmetry and maturity to the characters, that suggest's this film's screenplay is based on the work of a capable author. "Books of Blood" is based on the works of UK writer Clive Barker.
