Blood Fest is a horror-comedy which can be filed under the meta movie bracket. It unashamedly wears its influences on its sleeves and it is an unpretentious celebration of the horror genre. The man behind it is writer/director/actor Owen Egerton who plays the circus ringleader here. The story is very simple. A horror-obsessed teenager goes along to a new horror-themed festival called Blood Fest with his two pals. When there, it becomes quickly apparent that the horror is real and the attendees become the prey of the killers who run the place.

The set-up of the movie is basically a neat way to allow for the inclusion of a variety of horror tropes and situations. To this end we have chainsaw killers, killer clowns, a hillbilly psycho, sexy vampires, marauding zombies and torture sadism; with nods to all manner of movies including The Wizard of Gore (1970), The Evil Dead (1981), Ring (1998), Saw (2004), etc. It is quite a lot of silly fun and pretty amusing quite a bit of the time too with some funny lines, i.e. 'your mother was killed by horror'. What it ultimately is, though, is a gore-fest with knowing nods to the genre and as such will make for somewhat entertaining viewing for horror fans.

I'm a horror fan and have spent years watching many, many films.

The storyline may be somewhat predictable. It's a horror film. People are likely to die. There may be love interests or friendships.

Special effects. Hmmnn. Not so special at times. Often anatomically incorrected but the title is Blood Fest and jugular artery style squirting should accompany any cut -Wherever that may be.

Is it watchable? Can you relate to the characters? Interesting storyline? Gore? YES!

This is a comedy horror. I don't know what films other reviewers are comparing it with.

Enjoy it for what it is.

I was so looking forward to this movie after seeing such entertaining films as "HellHouse LLC" and "Escape Room", but this movie was just a huge waste of potential. Riddled with low budget and low effort special effects, this really came off as a student project of some sort, and nothing looked realistic enougfh to be considered "scary". Everything looked obviously fake, so much so that, you could easily see where the actors were replaced with mannequins and it just ruined the entire film for me. The script was asinine, the adult actors were hammy and horribly untalented, and the movie is only fun when the kids are around. It's just so unfortunate.

But man, those kids were so talented, so dynamic, so convincing. I was so impressed by the 3 child leads and their ability to carry the film on their own. They took a garbage script and worked with it, and pulled out all of the stop to convince the audience that they cared. The young girl, specifically, has such a bright future ahead of her with those acting chops. It's like she was born to be on camera. My favorite character, the young Filipino boy, really made me smile every time he showed up. Such a lovable and entertaining character.

This movie was a huge wasted potential; what could have been an entertaining film full of carnage turned out to be a sophomiric romp were the kids outshined the adult actors every step of the way. It almost makes you wonder how much more entertaining teh film might have been if they had hired adult actors that could actually act? Boggles the mind.

Don't see this movie if you lack patience for crappy acting. It's not teh worst hour and half you could spend watching a movie, but when that in itself is a compliment, you know that the movie really isn't meant for anyone.

So the plot of the movie might have some originality but still wasn't as strong as i thought it would be .. and kinda lacked the element of unpredictability ,,with that been said ,, it was fun at times ,, had more than a couple of enjoyable giggly scenes and the graphics and cinematography were not bad at all ,, apparently with lots of movies being made annually these technicality are becoming affordable.

Cast wise,, it was good,, I knew Robbie Kay from ABC's Once Upon a Time ,, and he was amazing there ,, and here he did a really good job,, he got the talent indeed.. Jacob Batalon from "Spider-Man: Homecoming" was also funny and he delivered,, and the whole cast in general did good.

Overall,, the movie is one of these cheesy movie and probably low budgeted one ,, but i kinda different in away and i enjoyed it .. so Recommended.

It's not an awful horror, but that's it, overall it's on the mediocre side. The characters aren't that great or developed and they're all a bit stereotypical, you know what you'll get once they are presented. The actors itself do their best, they're not great but at least it's not bad acting like you see in other low budget horror. The effects are sort of nice, there's some gore here and there, wouldn't have minded more though. Can't really say there's much build or tension, it's all in your face, no subtlety at all. Basically it's 90 minutes of an uninspiring meta horror, there's better self aware horror out there.

Predictable and filled with cliches, but still somewhat entertaining overall. This has some nice effects (it is violent as the title does suggest, though there are other movies out there with a bigger amount/volume of blood flowing) and the characters while almost cardboard cutouts are being played with some gusto that makes you almost that fact.

This is not a great movie or a classic or whatever but it is here to entertain you and also tries on some morals (especially towards the end). Having said all that, it is just beyond making sense, so don't try to even think about character motivation and whatnot. Watch it without any single thought and you may be entertained, otherwise it might come close to a waste of time

Your truly is an old-school horror fanatic, and the concept of meta-horror ranks extremely high on my personal list of most irritating cinematic trends ever. Sometimes, very exceptionally, it's used in a creative fashion ("Man Bites Dog", "The Cabin in the Woods", "Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon") but far more frequently it just comes across as pretentious and pseudo-intelligent. "Blood Fest" is the most embarrassing meta-horror film I've seen thus far, though. A slasher about surviving a pre-organized massacre by following the clichéd rules of classic slashers. Seriously? How many times has that been done before? Wes Craven centered his whole "Scream" franchise around this exact same gimmick, and even those films are massively overrated. But hey, writer/director Owen Egerton clearly thought his own script was brilliant, because he even depicts the "arrogant horror mastermind" himself. "Blood Fest" does contain some good gore and a handful of atmospheric moments (notably the clown gathering and the creepy dolls in the movie theater), so maybe there's hope that Egerton has it in him to make a half-decent "real" horror movie one day. You may now proceed to vote this comment as "non-useful" because I'm old, whiny and without sense of humor.

Solid horror film with enough blood to keep you entertained for the 90 min.

One of those movies that steals your precious time that you can never get back. One review compared it to Cabin in the Woods. ABSOLUTELY NOT. I'm being generous with the 3rd star. Bad acting. Terrible. This is NOT a horror movie. If they spent $10k making it, that $9.99k too much

A fun movie to watch. The story was easy to digest and most of the acting was believable. I was skeptical to see this after the trash Lazer Team was but they proved me wrong. It's light faire but truly fun to see.

The premise was cute and that's pretty much it.

All the horror "biomes" collide in a night fest and a group of teens have to survive the night.

Yes, that would be have been cute if it was actually executed with any competence.

Bad acting - not that they had much to go with script-wise. Felt like a long YouTube video skit... Like OK, I would feel bad being given this script and not saying anything.

It's not comedy because it's not funny.

It's not horror because it's not scary.

If it wasn't released in 2018, I would have guessed the script was AI generated.

If you want a similar premise movie that delivers, just rewatch Cabin in the woods...

I'm almost 30 years old, and I'm one of the biggest horror fans I know, plus I know good movies in my personal opinion I am what people have told me and life karma and I have to say this is a fine horror film if you like B Horror films. Yes it's predictable, and it's a little ridiculous, but it's also enjoyable and is kind of a cheesy light hearted nod to horror fans and I enjoyed it. Definitely say here a horror fan give it a shot, you won't be disappointed necessarily just entertained when you are waiting for your next horror movie to come out on DVD or in theaters watch this for some fun.

After watching the previous attempts at films from Rooster Teeth i had low expectations for this one but it still failed to meet them. Shortly after the film began i realised that the story i had thought would be good was actually that of the similarly named Hell fest and the story for Blood Fest is actually much worse.

It quickly becomes apparent that the story is nothing more than 5 characters trying to survive an immense number of killers, that's it. There's nothing clever or interesting and most criminally there's nothing funny either.

I think the most damning thing about this film is that it's clearly had too much spent on it to be a really cheesy, laughably bad student film or similar but also hasn't had nearly enough money or skill put into it to make a genuinely good film.

For a horror comedy it fails at both, even the cameo's from RT staff just felt out of place and shoved in just to appease fans with most of them all happening within a minuet.

The one thing i will say is that while the writing isn't the best, it's a pleasant surprise to see that Barbara Dunkelman is one of the bright points in the film proving herself to be a far better actor than any of the other RT staff who have had roles in previous RT fans or this on, and at points she actually comes close to generating some laughs.

One of the most confusing parts of the film is the way they somehow managed to make Adam Ellis, who plays one of the killers in the film, somehow seem less scary or menacing than he does in real life, which is hard given his reputation of being a "gentle giant" but they managed it somehow.

I'm sure the hardcore RT fans will claim it's a masterpiece as they have with previous RT films and nothing anyone can say will convince them otherwise, but unless you are one of those people who believe RT only makes pure gold i would beg you to not waste your time on this film, it really has nothing to offer in terms of entertainment.

This is better than a 5. It was very fun, and didn't take itself serious. Saw around the same time as HellFest and this is waay better, but that has a higher score.

This movie is nothing really. It isn't interesting, there isn't much of a story, and worst of all it isn't funny.

It is a run of never ending drab and meaningless false 'comedy' that is embarrassing to say the least.

The story concept is good, but it is so bland and commercial it gets lost in a mire of gooey nothingness.

Awesome entertainment for what it is especially being a fan of Rooster Teeth awhile ago although the Rage Quit videos and guides were my favorite! Sure there's super dumb stuff in it but it's really cool kinda like "The Condemned" except instead of an action death movie it's full on horror. Barely a comedy though, I don't know why that's part of the genres.

The story isn't the strong point of the movie, but rather the stuff to be found in it. The actual story is mostly the characters trying to survive in a festival against monsters. But I do like how the movie makes a lot of references to other horror movies from the past and there's a lot of Easter eggs to be found in it. The movie is pretty entertaining with the actions that happens inside Blood Fest and it has variety of monsters in it.

There's a couple of flaws in the movie like the pacing is pretty off with some scenes feels like it happens too quickly or dragged on a little bit too long. Also I felt the humor to be really forced and try's way too hard. And the twist isn't that bad, but I felt it was poorly executed.

The acting is beyond bad right from the beginning. I kept wondering if it was a commercial within the movie. It wasn't. It definitely has major potential, but it failed big time. Such a disappointment as it could have been awesome. Zachary Levi's cameo was lame. The few movie references were cool, but short lived (Friday the 13th, Saw, Evil Dead). The ending was really bad! Glad I didn't pay money to watch this.

Rule number 1: Never think that you are smarter than your audience.

Rule number 2: You are only allowed to be smug if you have got something to be smug about.

Rule number 3: Plot twist needs to be believable.

It takes a talented director and writer to make a straight up slasher pic and parody at the same time. Scream got it right, but sadly this one failed at every level.

The basic premise starts off promising with a bunch of kids realising that the Blood Fest event they attend is an actual blood fest, however, as the movie plods along it just gets sillier and sillier.

Nothing makes any sense, and the final twist is absolutely ludicrous. Some of the actors are reasonably good, and they tried their best with a less than mediocre script. The writer obviously thought that this was a terribly clever script, and the diabolical dialogue reveals the writer's smugness.

I was neither scared nor amused and there was nothing about it that was entertaining...except maybe to see how bad it could actually get.

Dax Conway (Robbie Kay), Krill (Jacob Batalon), and Sam (Seychelle Gabriel) are best friends and horror fans. They have tickets to the upcoming Blood Fest but Dax's father (Tate Donovan) throws them away. Dax's mother was killed by the father's disturbed patient and the father is a public advocate against horror films. The three friends ask their clueless aspiring actress friend Ashley for new tickets. As the event unfolds, it's revealed that this is more than fake killings.

I like the initial premise although I would prefer not to deal with the rules of horror. There is no point to Scream this. It's over two decades too late. If it wants to copy anyone, it should copy Cabin in the Woods. The father's role is obvious and that's why it needs to spice him up. He could be a warlock cult leader who uses his patients as sacrifices. As for the three young leads, I like all of them. It may be the Spiderman afterglow but Batalon is fun actor. This is a fun premise but more could be done to make this crazier and wilder.
