Reception
The Hollywood Reporter wrote that "What might sound on paper like a sexy thriller falls well short in execution, with a script that barely tries to convince us of its characters’ motivations and, when it tries, isn’t very successful."{{cite web |url= https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-reviews/blood-in-the-water-923283/|title= 'Blood in the Water': Film Review|author= THR Staff|date= 26 August 2016|website= The Hollywood Reporter|publisher= |access-date= 30 August 2022|quote=}}
Noel Murray of the Los Angeles Times wrote that "until the ending, the plot doesn’t really twist much; and the Cummings don’t do enough with how Veronica and Perry’s dim career prospects reflect life for too many college grads these days."{{cite web |url= https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/la-et-mn-capsule-blood-in-water-review-20160823-snap-story.html|title= Review: Crime looks gorgeous in the Hollywood Hills-set thriller 'Blood in the Water'|last= Murray|first= Noel|date= 24 August 2016|website= Los Angeles Times|publisher= |access-date= 30 August 2022|quote=}}
