I usually try and I mean try and write a fair review of low budget horror movies, because of production issues, talent available and script writing.

But this movie is just AWFUL.

Even 4x fast forward doesn't help the viewer.

Let's make a stew...awful tiresome script, some pretty bland actors and actresses, (friends maybe of director), the most boring direction ever seen in mo pix history...look up bland white bread direction.. the reference is Bloody Murder. See what happens when you make cheap video products available to the general public...

Plot: Early adults go to summer camp, a killer lurks around, Sheriff comes late to help..minimal action scenes, no nudity, no cleavage, no tight shorts or skirts..hmmmm.

This must be one of those 'let's make a movie this weekend' type of deals.

Some think this movie is a spoof. HINT: A spoof has to be funny. See Scary Movie (all of them). This movie had no chuckles, no terror, and no interest in seeing the plot advance forward.

A waste of digital pixels or film if that was used. You know this was shot in a weekend and then a pizza/beer party afterwards.

Was this a calling card for the director? A calling card to work in a pizza joint. Check out any youtube video, it will be more entertaining.

Bloody Murder is pretty much a straight forward rip off of the Friday the 13th movies. It takes place at a camp where the counsellors get knocked off one by one. The mask the killer uses is a hockey mask similar to Jason's. There is even an old man warning the teenagers of horrible things to come. Bloody Murder isn't all that good, but I enjoyed it as one of those "so bad it's good" slasher movies. The acting isn't very good except for the comic relief character of Tobe played by Patrick Cavanaugh. He did a great job as the funny guy who never seems to get the girl.

This is pretty much a hack and slash horror film without the excessive blood and gore. There are a few "neat" kills without much brutality. Interesting that the lead actress (Jessica Morris) hated the film and put it down. I thought she was a big reason for the film not being any better. Her portrayal of the main girl in the scary movie wasn't very well done. Surprising to me because I caught her in an episode of One Life to Live and thought she did much better in that. Maybe daytime is her thing.

Overall, fans of the genre might like it for it's cheesiness and for being a blatant rip off of the Friday films. There was a sequel made and from what I've read, it's a bit better.

5/10

Before people keep using throw-away comments like "THIS IS THE WORST MOVIE I'VE EVER SEEN" on film reviews, they should try sitting through garbage like this. I've seen some utter incomprehensible, no-redeeming-quality trash in my time (sigh), and Bloody Murder adds to the pile. It isn't the worst movie i've ever seen (but then, like I said...), hoewever, this is bad. Very bad. Bad acting, direction, editing, continuity, FX, script, music, imagination, everything-in-the-world. Aaaargh! Watching this film was like being flayed ...and then having needles scraped across my bones. Watching this film was like being paid a visit by the dentist from the marathon man ...and then being thrown a well-done steak to chew on. Watching this film was like being born without skin ...and having to bathe painfully every morning in lemon juice. You get my point?

Bloody Murder is definetely a so-called slasher movie. This movie is accurately below-average that makes it so underrated. There's no gore, scare, decent twist or blood. Just do the routine without the spirit of the slasher it self. Even the killer is not original, sort-of combination of Jason and Leatherface (The Chainsaw!).

I'm mad with any person who made this piece of s**t. They're so money hungry but lack of skill or soul this genre needs. Everybody, avoid this!

Just a lame Friday the 13th rip off. I mean come on look at it. It's a killer wearing a hockey mask where have I seen that before? Oh yeah from Friday the 13th do we look stupid! Plus it also rips off Halloween with the jump suit the killer wears and not just those 2 movies it also rips off The Texas Chainsaw Massacre cause the killer uses a chainsaw. So that shows you how lame this movie really is because it rips off 3 horror classics. And Friday the 13th ripped off Halloween so Friday the 13th ain't original either. This movie sucked the hard one. I mean come on we have had ENOUGH rip offs of Friday the 13th, Halloween, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, etc. Its funny to see after 20 years after the horror classics were made that they are still ripping them off! Wow! And the ending of this movie made no sense at all! Like when you find out who the killer is! The killer's name even sounds cheesy. Trevor Moorehouse! Wow! Bloody Murder=horrible peace of crap movie

Years ago, reviewing Bloody Murder 2, I counted my lucky stars that I didn't have to sit through the first one, it seems luck only lasts so far before the chickens come home to roost as my TiVo apparently thought it funny to record this off Encore Suspense....

Anyways this lame Friday the 13th clone has a group of insipid camp counselors being targeted by a hockey-masked maniac. This movie hits the trifecta in that it fails as a F13 rip-off, it fails as a spoof and it fails as a horror film in general. Also worst of all it commits the cardinal sin of ANY B-movie by having a nudity-free shower scene. This is simply unwatchable in every sense of the word

My Grade: F

A young group of camp counselors gathers to prepare a summer camp for youngsters. Little do they know that in these woods there is a killer who was wronged long ago. A killer who wants revenge. A killer who wears a hockey mask. A killer who name is Jason Voor... I mean, Trevor Moorehouse.

This film needs two words to describe it perfectly: shameless and incompetent. Shameless in that is rips off "Friday the 13th" so obviously and it doesn't even try to cover its tracks, but actually goes on as a serious slasher film. The first killing is virtually a direct lift from "Texas Chainsaw Massacre." Incompotent in that it doesn't even offer in the least what fans of the genre want and enjoy. For a film called "Bloody Murder" even if it is a shameless ripoff, you'd expect gore to accompany the deaths, right? Some kinky sex and nudity, right? Then all the cheesy dialog and generally predictable story would be forgivable, since the film would give what it promises. But that doesn't happen.

It doesn't happen in the least. No gore, no nudity, and some of the most lame horror movie murders you can set your eyes on. The obviously unrehearsed acting tops it all off for a truly forgettable (and possibly regrettable) film viewing. Just re-watch "Friday the 13th." --- 1/10

Rated R for violence. Ages 13+.

Well you can tell by the cover of this movie that it's a Friday the 13th rip off, and ignore the chainsaw, there's only one killing with a chainsaw. It didn't have much blood and gore, and what blood was shown looked like red spray paint. Less than half of the characters were killed. This movie strongly resembles the form of the early 80's slasher, "He Knows You're Alone". It had the potential to be really good and it wasn't. If you're a hard core horror fan looking for a modern camp slasher, rent it, you may like it, but you'll probably be disapointed. 6 out of 10.

If someone asked you to name Friday the 13th's visual trademark, what would be your answer? My guess is that nine out of ten people would choose the hockey mask that adorns every cover from part three up until the most recent entry as the series' most memorable attribute. Freddy has his deadly glove and Jason has his mask, no doubt about it. Trust Ralph Portillo, - the director responsible for the incredibly awful Fever Lake and a few other equally bad direct to video schlocksters - to go as far as to shamelessly steal Mr. Voorhees' signature facet for this horrid third rate dupe of the franchise. In the UK, this was released as 'scream' bloody murder and it doesn't take a genius to work out what was behind the choice for that title does it. I wondered exactly how much barefaced flagging I would find craftily concealed within the runtime and was looking forward to playing 'spot the influence' if things got a little too tedious.

It opens with a couple's car breaking down on a secluded road through some woodland. After arguing with his girlfriend, the guy decides to leave the safety of the vehicle and head out on foot to try and hitch a ride and get some petrol. On his journey he bumps into a masked psycho with a chainsaw that very quickly offs the unfortunate fellow just out of view of the camera. Next up we meet a group of poorly dramatised counsellors that are on their way to Camp Placid Pines, so that they can prepare for the visiting children that will be arriving in the next couple of days. Placid pines is situated in an area that pays host to an often-touted legend concerning Trevor Moorehouse and his murderous antics towards campers. Soon enough an unseen killer begins slicing his way through the counsellors and carefully stashing the corpses so no one is any the wiser to his anti-social escapades. Is it Trevor back to add strength to his legend or perhaps one of the workers has something to get off their chest in an exceptionally violent manner? Put it this way we've been there before. Many a time.

Firstly I must make an apology for my economical write-up of this routine entry into the 'killer in the woods' plotline. There's very little to put into words about Bloody Murder, because basically if you've even seen one of the many other stabs at a 'campsite massacre' flick, you'll know exactly what to expect from this mediocre muddle. Yep, we're not trying to add anything new to the formula here; instead they just rehash the age-old platitudes without bothering to add anything remotely plausible or authentic. The cast at least manage one bit of exceptional acting, when about half way through they all sit round a large screen pretending to look engrossed as they watch Portillo's previous slasher throwaway, Fever Lake. Anyone who manages to fake interest by that supreme waste of shelf-space should certainly feel that they have given an award-worthy performance! But seriously, these guys are as moronic as you can imagine, especially Julie (Jessica Morris) who's flat and obnoxious character really started to grate as time rolled on. I kept hoping that she would be next to meet the blade of the psycho, but no such luck, we were stuck with her unconvincing warbling right up until the end.

Just like Scream and the flocks of imitators that have been released most recently, we're meant to be intrigued into guessing who it is that's actually killing everybody. Red herrings and dodgy suspects abound, but the brainless conclusion is barely worth a mention and you'll probably guess who's behind the hockey mask halfway through anyway. Perhaps the most horrible thing about Bloody Murder, even worse than the shameful scripting and sub-standard direction, is that it's incredibly yawn-some. Even watching it to take notes for this review was a painful experience that I won't hurry to repeat. There's no gore, suspense or momentum and the performances make Arnold Schwarzenegger look like Lee Strasberg! The only redeeming feature was the attractive scenery that was truly a beautiful backdrop and deserved tribute from something much better than this offending offal.

Perhaps the most interesting thing about Bloody Murder is that it was successful enough to spawn a sequel that was a damn site better than this. Quite why anyone thought it was necessary to follow up something this terrible is indeed questionable. What's the point in watching a fifth rate Friday the 13th, when you can go and get the original for exactly the same price? If you want a good description of torture, imagine being locked in a room having to watch this over and over without any chance of escape! A fate worse than death! Sadly this doesn't even manage to be unintentionally amusing, it's just despicable. Do your best to avoid this one.

Wow! This flick was bad, REAL bad! It is pretty funny to watch and laugh at how bad it is, but then you realize what a waste it is. A total and complete rip of Friday the 13th flicks. The killer wears a hockey mask for God's sake! The guy on the box with the chain saw is in the flick for 2 minutes. The real killer is passing himself off as that guy. He's an urban legend or some crap. There's very little blood for a slash flick and the killer is anything but scary. Some skinny, clumsy little geek with a mask on. Apparently they couldn't afford lighting because all the stalkings and murders take place during the day. This is true crap people, STAY AWAY!

Never see this film. It will disappoint you on all levels. I have never seen a worse attempt at anything I'm my life. Bloody Murder is now the bottom by which I judge all things. I challenge the universe itself to create anything on par with the Craptastic nature of this Turd. There has never been a worse film made in all eternity. This is the very worst it can get. Anyone remotely involved in creating this endless black hole of tripe should be hunted down and executed slowly. Words simply cannot express the level of shear insult this movie will leave on your very existence. Every last copy of Bloody Murder needs to be rounded up and thrown into the fires of Mount Doom. Only then will humanity have a chance.

Now I would only recommend seeking this film out if you've seen just about every other slasher and you're a bit of a hardcore horror fan. Though I've seen this film twice and I walked away with a bit of an appreciation for what this film attempted. Now I'm going to skip a synopsis but get into what this film succeeds at and fails at. Now first the movie succeeds at going through every single horror trope but having fun with it. Now for most horror films a bunch of tropes and clichés would be bad but in this film it almost works and the reason being it is very purposeful in the respect of the creators wanted a bunch of tropes. Next I actually didn't mind a lot of the acting especially the killer, who despite his character's psyche not making the most sense really put in his all. Also some acting really sucks but it's kind of whatever. The film also makes frequent horror references which I found fun since I'm a bit of a horror nerd even though most of them were pretty shallow. The atmosphere and the tone are also a bit wonky but after a while you kind of get used to it. Now this movie does have one of the biggest fails a slasher can have, a lack of gore, literally there is hardly any blood, despite the special effects being acceptable for the time there is almost no blood. This film could've been pg-13 with how little bloodshed there is but there is also creative with a few of the kills but it makes you wonder what the director or effects guy was thinking. I also have to bring up how the killer is a bit of a rip off of Jason Voorhees which you can see from the box cover but that's not all he also uses the same weapon as Leatherface and finally has the same clothing as Michael Myers making me wonder if the killer saw a few too many horor movies, got confused and turned out a bit of a hacked together costume of everything. I like it and everytime I see the killer it makes me laugh thinking about that. But check it out if its free for you or you want to see something a bit strange its also free on amazon prime with subscription and I believe someone also uploaded it to YouTube.

'Bloody Murder' or 'Scream Bloody Murder' depending on which country you're from is a cheesy straight to video slasher flick that blatantly rips off 'Friday The 13th and even attempts to copy 'Scream' by throwing in a few meta genre jokes, but fails miserably in all areas by creating a lame and pretty basic slasher movie.

The plot = A group of camp counsellors are working to re-open a summer camp, but as soon as they arrive a series of murders and disappearances begins to occur, could it be Trevor Moorhouse, an old urban myth killer or could it be the work of a copycat?

This movie is bad in almost every way possible such as the acting, direction, poor writing, and bland off-screen kills, but for some reason I kinda liked this (not sure why), sure the plot is derivative as hell and lacks any sort of originality, but there's a certain charm to this rather low-key effort. The Trevor Moorhouse killer looks hilarious with that cheap plastic hockey mask and lacks any sort of menacing presence, but the mystery element was somewhat interesting even if the conclusion was really easy to figure out.

The acting was pretty bad, but again I did find myself rooting for some of these characters such as Julie (Jessica Morris), Tobe (Patrick Cavanaugh) & Drew (Crystelle Ford), sure they didn't have much range, but they were okay.

Overall 'Bloody Murder' is a bad slasher flick and yet at the same time manages to be quite entertaining in a so bad it's good kinda way.

About 5-6 years ago I discovered a horror movie at Family Video called Bloody Murder 2. Without Wonder about the first Bloody Murder I checked it out and watched it and loved it. But unfortunately...I just watched the first one and I must say it was very very disappointing. There is barely any horror. It's more like a YouTube video made by some dudes and chicks with nothing but time on their hands with bad acting, knives, and gallons of fake blood.

The special effects are special needs. Nothing is creative. They dialogue is remained over girl talk and boyfriend girlfriend drama and revengey teens.

The acting was utterly atrocious and completely annoying.

The 'kills" were lame and never really showed anything let alone how they were killed until you see them badly act when "acting" being stabbed or shot.

Avoid this movie at all costs.

Scream Bloody Murder is one of the most basic exploitation slasher movies to come out of the early 2000s. These kinds of slasher exploitation movies were pretty common in the late 90s and early 2000s right around the time the horror and slasher movie genre was going through it's try and make every movie like Scream phase.

Scream Bloody Murder is just a cheap rip off of the Friday the 13th series. The movies killer wears a very cheap looking white hockey mask and wears dark blue overalls. There are even references to the Friday the 13th series and even a character named Jason who is accused of being the killer. The movie also copies kills from the original Friday the 13th movie with a camp counsellor getting shot by an arrow on the camps archery range. The killer in this movie even hides the camp counsellors bodies up in a tree but he ties them all together and hoists them up in a single tree hanging upside down. There's about four twist endings in this movie each more ridiculous and silly than the last.

The quality of this movie is as you might expect extremely low quality. The camera work is sloppy and is often out of focus making it a blurry mess to the point where if a character is in the distance you can't make out their faces. The ADR voice over work is appalling and often sounds like the actors recorded their lines while standing across the otherside of the room. The acting isn't the worst I've ever seen but it's certainly not good either most of the actors seem disinterested in what they are saying and in the "action" scenes they even manage to fall down unconvincingly. The death scenes are laughable most take place off screen and the ones that are shown aren't anything we haven't already seen a thousand times in much better slasher movies. The makeup effects if you can call them that is just a bit of rather unconvincing fake blood around a fake object sticking through the person's body with all the special effects of a kids halloween makeup kit.

I have seen some truly awful slasher movies in my time but this has got to be one of the worst I have ever seen. There are plenty of slasher movies out there that are bad but are also very entertaining in a so bad it's good kind of way they aren't meant to be taken seriously they're just meant to be fun. Scream Bloody Murder isn't fun or entertaining it's not even worth the 50 pence I paid for the DVD there are independent movies on YouTube made on a camera phone that are better than this pile of garbage.

The only thing in this movie that made me laugh was several scenes of the main character using a late 90s laptop with a dial up modem in a cabin in the middle of the woods and somehow she manages to get faster Internet speed than most people have in 2020. The girl checks her email several times during the movie on what looks like an old Windows 95 interface and it loads in just two seconds.

I rented Bloody Murder and I enjoyed it. Although it is an obvious rip off of Friday The 13th its a good one. It throws in a little of the Scream generation of horror as well. I Hope this becomes a direct to video franchise...it would atleast be better than Children of the Corn which cranked dry after part 2 or 3. If they play their cards right it could make a few great sequels with a franchise killer...

Little blood, no gore, no nudity, no horror, no violence or anything else you can think of that would make a slasher flick tolerable. Just plain awful and, as much as you pray these annoying Dawson's Creek rejects get what's coming to them in some sort of nasty, sadistic manner, it never comes to fruition. What was the target audience for this piece of garbage? Twelve-year-old girls? Avoid this film like a venereal disease.

This movie was okay. The killer isn't who you think that's the only good thing . The deaths aren't that good and there's no nudity. That's odd for a summer camp slasher movie. All in all don't see it unless you're a horror buff . The cast in this movie will never be heard from again.
