Blood Fest

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.

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

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.

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.
