The Bloody Man

I'm so excited; I now have a NEW entry in my "worst ever" movies list! "The Bloody Man" has to be one of the WORST pieces of junk you'll ever see. It is mind-numbingly boring and it lasts well over TWO HOURS!!

Don't be fooled by promotion photos displaying this horrifying image because you'll never see this image in this movie. The acting is so horribly, the dialogue so stilted, the script (if you can call it that) is all over the place, and it looks like they cast a 14 year old to play the part of a child in kindergarten!

This is one of very few movies that I would give ZERO stars if that were an option. Stay far, far away from this old mess.

.... or some such religious cult type message dealt to the audience wrapped in a horror movie, that isn't all that good. Seriously: Davey and Goliath was the first thing I thought of while trying to watch this, only because the actors seemed like they were calymation puppets, but with half the talent.

Mix that in with references to religious comic book characters, and it pretty well sums up who the target audience is for this.

The props/wardrobe department did the best they could, but probably worked with the same budget that hired the actors. There are no fixes for this movie without cremating it, and starting from scratch. If you intend on keeping with the religious message from the first attempt, I'm just not the audience you're looking for.

Terrible writing. It moves too slowly, nothing happens, and it keeps doing random flashbacks to these dumb stories. The acting is really bad. The only good actor is the little girl. I hope she can purse a successful acting career. The "villain" looks ridiculous with no FX. Minimal gore, minimal scares. Just really boring.

The actors would usually scream their lines instead of being natural. The two bullies in the classroom were extra loud for the scene and the fake laughing was super annoying. The father had only one expression, smiling - no matter the situation. I gave it a 2 instead of a 1 because the musical soundtrack was it's only good feature.

I stumbled upon the 2020 movie "The Bloody Man" here in 2022 by sheer random luck. And seeing it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I had to sit down and watch it. And I have to say that the movie's cover/poster was definitely also something that caught my attention.

Well, if I had known that "The Bloody Man" was more of a family horror movie, and not an outright horror movie, then perhaps I wouldn't have been thus thrilled to get to watch it. This movie is not a scary movie, not even by a long shot. This is a type of 'horror' movie that even children can sit down and watch with the rest of the family.

The storyline in "The Bloody Man" was pretty straight forward, so writers Daniel Benedict and Casi Clark didn't exactly bring anything new or revolutionary to the table. In fact, they didn't really bring much of anything to the table. Sure, the movie can be watched, but this movie is generic and predictable. And the narrative was somewhat slow and uneventful actually.

The movie would have been a more enjoyable experience if they had actually found a wholesome cast that were able to put on believable and convincing performances. Now, I am not saying that all members of the cast were putting on wooden, rigid performances, but a great deal were doing exactly that. And those wooden performances were overshadowing the other performances, dragging them down with them. A shame really.

"The Bloody Man" was a swing and a miss in terms of entertaining me. Had I perhaps known it to be a family horror movie, then I could have sat down with that particular mindset, and done so together with my family as well. So no, "The Bloody Man" didn't provide me with much of any entertainment.

My rating of "The Bloody Man" lands on a three out of ten stars.
