		"Blood Simple," which debuted in 1985, is receiving a 15th anniversary re-release in remastered and very slightly re-edited form.

	Blood Simple
		Blood Simple represented a different breed of filmmaking: ironic, seemingly indifferent to the welfare of its characters, and extravagantly aware of itself as a movie.
		Blood Simple is at its best when it teases our state of mind with a variety of twilight effects.
		The Coens have streamlined Blood Simple for this re-release, deleting a couple snippets of dialogue whose absence is noticeable only because the cuts marking their removal are surprisingly abrupt.

	Blood Simple - Director's Cut [1984/2000] - 4.7.6
		A man grabs a woman from behind, holds his hand over her mouth, and drags her out of a house as she struggles; she bites his finger, breaks free, and then kicks him in the crotch (we see him stagger and vomit; in a later scene we see his finger in a splint).
		Someone tries to clean up a puddle of blood with a jacket (we see blood being rubbed around the floor, blood dripping from the jacket onto the floor, and blood in the sink as the jacket is rinsed).
		We see dried blood on the back of a person's shirt; blood on a man's finger after he touches a blood-soaked car seat, and blood soaking through a towel lying on top of a blood-stained car seat.

	Blood Simple review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Blood Simple is a near-perfect example of what good planning can get you.
		One might not think you could get a terribly complex plot with only about four characters in the mix, and one would be about as wrong as TV psychic Criswell was when he predicted that Satan would rule the earth starting in the late '70s.
		The setup is simple enough: Ray is having an affair with Abby, wife of his admittedly anal boss Marty.

		Blood is a fluid made up of cells and a watery part.
		Blood constantly flows from your heart, around your body and back to your heart through these vessels.
		Many invertebrate animals (animals without a backbone), such as coral, jelly fish and flat worms do not have blood because they are able to absorb nutrients and move gases and wastes directly to the outside of their bodies.

	Blood Simple Reviews
		It keys into three common nightmares: (1) You clean and clean, but there's still blood all over the place; (2) You know you have committed a murder, but you are not sure quite how or why; (3) You know you have forgotten a small detail that will eventually get you into a lot of trouble.
		BLOOD SIMPLE mixes those fears and guilts into an incredibly complicated plot, with amazingly gory consequences.
		BLOOD SIMPLE was directed by Joel Coen, produced by his brother, Ethan, and written by the two of them.

		The debut film of director Joel Coen and his brother-producer Ethan Coen, 1983's Blood Simple is grisly comic noir that marries the feverish toughness of pulp thrillers with the ghoulishness of even pulpier horror.
		Blood Simple has been called film noir, and it is that, in spades.
		'Blood Simple' does have a somewhat prolonged intro, but this just serves to heighten the reality of the situation, which makes the more outlandish occurrences of the second half of the film all the more plausible.

	village voice > film > by J. Hoberman
		Blood Simple, which reopens this week in a remixed and slightly reedited version the Coen brothers are calling the "director's cut," gave further notice that the material that had once been the province of Hollywood B movies was now up for grabs.
		Their rereleased Blood Simple may be the first so-called director's cut to be shorter than the original-release version, but that's only so they can include another joke.
		Blood Simple is not exactly in the Strike-Citizen Kane-Breathless league, but if there ever was a movie-brat debut, it's the Coens' aggressively stylish mixture of showboat formalism and insouciant nose-thumbing.

		Instead, their re-mastered, re-mixed and re-stored BLOOD SIMPLE is now shorter instead of longer (they opted to recut the movie to make it tighter while still retaining all the scenes in the movie).
		Another fascinating aspect about BLOOD SIMPLE is how the Coens let the audience know the whole story, but prefer to keep all their characters in the dark.
		BLOOD SIMPLE is an indie through and through, but it's also a fine motion picture.

	Blood Simple, The Directors' Cut (1984/2000): Frances McDormand, Dan Hedaya, M. Emmet Walsh, John Getz - PopMatters ...
		Blood Simple begins with a voiceover by M. Emmet Walsh speculating on the benefits of Russian communism before finally admitting, "What I know about is Texas.
		And down here, you're on your own." The film's repeated images of the abandoned oil pumps and desolate fields surrounding Austin are a fitting backdrop to this moody tale of a cheating wife and her jealous, murderous husband.
		If nothing else, Blood Simple's re-release allows a theater-going audience to look back at what first established the cinematic trademarks of a Coen brothers' production: unique characterization, visual flare, and story lines that careen wildly from outrageous comedy to gripping horror.

		When the fifteenth anniversary of Joel and Ethan Coen's debut Blood Simple rolled around in 2000, the brothers reportedly tweaked it a bit for its re-release, making some trims and additions.

		Blood Simple ultimately seems to be about Visser, easily the film's most compelling addition to film noir history.

	MMI Movie Review: Blood Simple
		"Blood Simple" works just fine on the small or big screen, without any hindsight, or with an eye for promises the Coens would later fulfill.
		But what makes "Blood Simple" memorable as a debut is their sheer giddy love of the medium.
		One image I'd held of Blood Simple for the past 16 years was that of a newspaper spinning end over end and slamming violently against a screen door in the background.

	Blood Simple DVD review on AudioRevolution.com
		The title of "Blood Simple" refers to what can happen when a murderer is so stunned and appalled by his/her own crime that mental blankness results.
		The dialogue is snappy and intelligent without calling attention to itself and the cinematography of Barry Sonnenfeld (who went on to become the director of "Men in Black," among other movies) is sharp, clear and energetic, with shots that barrel forward down the fltop.
		"Blood Simple" manages to be extremely straightforward and clear – there are only a handful of characters and locations – while still having plenty of surprising twists and moments of real fear.

	Film Review - BLOOD SIMPLE
		When Joel and Ethan Coen were asked to re-release their debut feature Blood Simple, they used their subsequent success to gain the opportunity to "fix" the film in a new Director's Cut.
		They have scrubbed it clean, restored music cues that were lost to rights problems, and in their own words "cut out the boring parts." Most of the pre-release publicity has focused on the edits that make the Director's Cut shorter than the original version.
		Like several of their early works, Blood Simple sometimes suffers from an excessively mannered quality; a defect that would vanish as they brought out the humanity of their characters.

	Raising Arizona/Blood Simple by Carter Burwell (1987) * (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Blood Simple is a good score to combine with Raising Arizona--both are quite novel, different, but with interesting melodies.
		As Burwell's first score, Blood Simple is also largely synthesized, with some unusual elements, including some African chants (in "Chain Gang") and various electronic effects.
		Best heard in "Blood Simple" and "Blood Simpler," it is a stirring theme that is very characteristic of Burwell.

		But it is cleaned up a bit, and the music is much easier to enjoy than in the copy at your local Blockbuster that has been rented 517 times (one popular song doesn’t even appear on the video because the Coen brothers couldn’t secure the rights).
		Simple is hilariously introduced by Mortimer Young — the only significant new footage in the film, so be sure to get to the theatre on time.
		Simple went from one hell of an edgy film to an important chunk of independent cinema that holds up remarkably well after a decade-and-a-half.

	DVD REVIEW: "BLOOD SIMPLE"
		As such, what initially seems like a simple plot suddenly becomes far more complex and the ensuing, related scenes turn out to be quite riveting in nature.
		Although the picture occasionally shows its low-budget, independent film roots (in both look and some stilted dialogue), most of the time is has an incredibly assertive and imaginative air about it that not only belies the filmmakers' inexperience and their modest budget, but also manages, for the most part, to impress the viewer.
