Blood Widow

While this movie had more budget than many of the recent movies (especially the found footage movies) usually do, and thus could have had some benefit from that, I can honestly say that it was money well wasted. The acting is some of the worst I have ever seen, the characters epitomize flat, the premise is weak and given no real development, and the building of suspense is nonexistent. The gore is amateur and funny at best-- but not really funny in a good way. What makes it worse is just how terrible the characters are... for a bunch of successful young adults to just arbitrarily decide, without a second thought, to go onto private property and absentmindedly vandalize a home, even if abandoned, is absurd... it is like the story is written by a barely pubescent teen imagining what adults would do, and things just go downhill from there(note this is not really a spoiler, it happens almost immediately and is not really any more important than anything else in this sad charade of a plot). Of course, as always, watch it if you want to. It is not the very worst movie I have seen by any means, but it comes close, and given the variety of better options out there (including the option of replaying something you have seen before but enjoyed) you might save yourself some time and skip this poor attempt at a slasher flick.

My 14 year old and I found the only thing entertaining about this movie was laughing at the terrible acting. The only thing good about it was the villain. She could have been SO scary. That mask was my motivation for renting the film. There was little to no suspense. The gore was over the top. I could have forgiven that for the movie style had any other portion been good but it wasn't. And most importantly the story just didn't quite make sense. Then I thought there was going to be some reveal at the end, but nope still confused. Did I mention the acting was TERRIBLE? Total waste of one of the most awesome creepy face masks I've seen in forever.

What was there to like about this film, sadly.. not a thing!

The acting was well below par, even for a film of this nature. The death scenes were recycled garbage, poorly executed, and lack luster. I wanted more than anything to see who ever created the score killed in the film. In fact I wish the antagonist in the films used the director as a weapon to brutally beat the score composer to death.

Seeing that would have been more original than the over done script. Avoid this film, it's nothing you are looking for in a horror film. I literally wanted to punch someone in the face whilst I watched this. Horror films are truly becoming horrible.

I watch a ton of movies, so a lot of them end up being low budget horror films. That said I am used to sub-par acting, and scripts with plot holes. This movie was not as bad as many others I have watched and not as bad as some other reviewers are saying.

Most of my problems with this movie are of the technical variety. First the camera person had focusing problems especially early in the film.It was as if he was using the camera for the very first time. The biggest problem in the movie though is the sound. It seemed like the only mic used was the one built into the camera. This results in barely being able to hear quite a bit of the dialog, especially if the actor was either facing away or was further away from the camera. This was a big factor in characters feeling flat. Other sounds such as doors were muted.

Bottom line the movie itself wasn't that bad but the audio was so frustrating that it made the movie seem much worse than it really was. If you can deal with the audio you might like this, otherwise skip this one.

This is what happens when a movie's good point consists entirely on one decent villain concept while other aspects are ridiculously abysmal. Blood Widow has one of the worst acting, foul production and misguided use of gore that ever shamed the horror genre. It's literally like Japanese B-movie gorefest you've never heard about, but at least that is built on quirky premise while Blood Widow is an actual miserable horror.

The lead characters find themselves at strange location where past tragedy happened. Following barren story line where a strange antagonist still survives like many other horror movies after Texas Chainsaw Massacre, this movie falls in every turn. The most decent parts are the villain who looks quite menacing and a couple of gore, but even those appear underwhelming.

It has cardboard acting as though the actors were sedated just before filming and took the scenes while walking on mental limbo. There are some moments that feel like they are trying to sabotage their own movie, yet not even intentionally bad performance can be this bad.

Visual is too dark most of the times, which leaves the audience wondering if this is shot with broken camera. Audio fares worse as the sound suddenly spikes in volume after several minutes of muffled voice. Obviously, there's no cinematography or choreography here, instead of that the movie sprays blood hoping it would resemble thrill.

Perilous to your money and time, just avoid Blood Widow or take a glimpse on the poster, which is given more investment than the actual movie itself.
