Blood Widow

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.

Will this new wave of horror directors ever learn?!? Will their excuses always fall in the category: low budget, I did my best?? Why keep doing the same thing over and over when you know from starts it's nothing but a mistake?!?

Why do I always get to see cardboard characters in this kind of movies? How come only the worst possible decisions are taken, how come no one ever knows better and how great would it be to see some brain action for once? Blood Widow is a terrible movie: acting below amateur; the kills make you facepalm; the gore is laughable; the music used in the movie was probably made by an 11 years old with a free download program; last but not least, the killer design is worth of a better movie indeed.

This one will annoy you, will get you sad cause you wasted time on it, shows no potential, no real plot, just a very bad case of deja-vu. Stay away, look elsewhere, plenty of good indies around there.

Blood Widow translates into: "let's make the same mistakes again. maybe people won't notice!"

Cheers!

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.

This could be one of the worst movies I ever seen, a lot of blood and gore. Acting in some cases was amateurish, other times it was pretty good The story line and how the script goes is terrible. more imagination could have been added

The story goes against the human attitude, when one is threatened I am sure they would never allow them selves to be killed so easily.

I must admit I actually watched all the film even though at times I wanted to switch it off, some viewers will at times close their eyes and others will be cringing in their seats, other times you will be unhappy you watched it.

But all in all watch it and feel that feeling of horror when about to be killed,

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.
