Scream Bloody Murder

Terrible, terrible, terrible.

I can appreciate a good spoof, but this movie had me wincing all the way through. I'm 20 years old and I've done more professional stuff than this. Out-of-focus shots, too dark at times, terrible sound in some scenes and a REALLY annoying shifting white-balance (which means the image will change tones from one shot angle to another).

The whole thing was filmed by handycam and looked like a porno, from the costumes, to the actresses, to the plot. Scream Bloody Murder is a porn movie minus the actual porn!

The story was ridiculous and the ending downright stupid and nonsensical. I usually can appreciate a stupid-fun movie, but this is just way too horrible. Thank God I got to rent this for free.

2 out of 10! And that's on the strength of the uniforms alone ;).

How is it possible to screw up a movie involving girls in school uniforms and killings?

Somehow the producers of the movie figured out a way. A van-load of high-school girls who appear to be in their mid 20s run out of gas on a desert road and a hockey mask wearing redneck tow-truck driver tows them and their van to his garage, where deaths and other strange things being to happen. One girl is killed in a car compactor, another has an air pump shoved down her throat causing her to explode, a guy gets it up the ass from a forklift(!) and it's unclear if the inbred, redneck tow-truck-driver is responsible. Since many of the nighttime scenes were obviously filmed through a dark blue filter, it is easy to understand why the killer's identity might be unclear, ... but the final twist is actually revealed in the film's trailer. Any attempts at actual horror were given away in the film's trailer (it reveals the deaths of several main characters, as well as giving away the entire twist ending!)

If it was supposed to be a satire, lame double-entendres and obvious setups (guy with crutches, taking away the cellphones) sink this from the start. And film's soundtrack sounds like someone farting uncontrollably.

It might be worth a few unintended laughs to watch this once, and to check out the so-so looking girls, but anything more is asking too much.

well, i was tempted by this film as the cover promoted, in equal measures, chainsaws and schoolgirls. what a major disappointment followed such promise.

this is either some sort of student film or one big "in-joke" that only a select few are in on, one of which i am not. the dreary plot, that of a bus breaking down in the middle of nowhere and the passengers being killed one by one, is as long in the tooth as the majority of the schoolgirls here.

it gets a three as there are two rather witty deaths, ones that i have not seen in any other film franchise, but even then they are not as spectacular as they could have been.

and the chainsaw on the cover that tempted me? it has a blade as long as a conventional pencil, and does not get used on anything or, more to the point for the intended market, anyone.

people who harbour a desire to make films one day should watch this just to see how not to do it. everyone else should give it a miss.

Okay... maybe phenomenal isn't the word, but it's the first word that comes to mind.

Scream Bloody Murder is about a bunch of school girls, complete in school girl uniform, who, along with their female teacher and some guy with a broken leg who's driving them,are on their way to a dance at an all boys school. Each of the girls fills a stereotype- The goth, the *ahem* promiscuous one, the lesbian, the virgin, the smart one, and the mysterious new girl who joins their motley crue of cliches at the last minute. Their van breaks down, and a tow truck driver takes them to his shop, where the girls, when not making out with each other, start dying gruesome deaths.

Now, you're probably thinking, "Hey, this movie sounds terrible," and in a sense, you are correct. The film is anything but scary, but it wasn't made to frighten. Simply to entertain. If you're looking for a coherent plot, then stay away. If you're looking for cheesy effects and brilliant one liners, then definitely check this one out.

Our "starlets" are all cuties in the extreme (Shay, whatta doll!), our plot is rather weak and transparent, our effects are rather on the cheesy side, but hey, a buncha incredibly cliched schoolgirls are on their way to the "big dance", their van breaks down, and mayhem ensues. Lotsa exploitive laughs, no real skin, some cheesy girl on girl action, and we have a halfbaked, but darn tootin' funny flick. Highlights include the actress playing Parker, who is far and away the best thing talent wise here, our hick rescuer who exudes some rather goofy charm in his bumbling, and our innocent Shay, who looks like an escapee from the Facts of Life, but is charming nonetheless. Our lowlights include badgirl Star, sluttygirl Honey, and the driver who you were rooting for to be an early victim. If you watch with your tongue firmly in cheek, you'll enjoy it, if you have high hopes of a great thriller, you're gonna be sooooo disappointed.
