But sometimes a new idea is added to the lore and makes them stand out just a bit more than others. The new Hulu film, BLOOD (2023), is one of those movies that does things just a little differently to make it feel somewhat original.Jess (Michelle Monaghan) is a divorce mom with two young children.
