The Bloody Man

Budget film not even worth watching it's painful. Can't believe this got 6 stars! If I could give this 0 I would. They should be paying me for wasting my time with this.

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.

.... 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.

Just not in a very well-done way. I get the whole 80's vibe, it's just too slow and boring. The family drama and dynamics was fine and not badly done. I liked the little short stories the kids told. The reason this failed is really because of the chosen boogeyman. The Bloody Man wasn't scary, he was an annoying protagonist at best. Like the silly chucky doll, only without any backstory, motives, funny moments, or interesting lines. Just a bald guy bleeding from his head at random times, that was menacing-ish.

This is a very strange mix of part 80s nostalgia, part singular slow burn narrative, part anthology stories scattered throughout, part horror, part campy. I was so confused, lol, but it wasn't all together unredeemable. The editing was pretty bad though which the film suffered for - too many weird silent gaps in between beats which slowed down the pacing to a distracting level. It was a lot of fun to see Lisa Wilcox and Tuesday Knight both from 'A Nightmare on Elm Street 4' work together again in the same film. The script may have benefited from having 40 minutes taken out of it. Regardless of the criticisms there was something fun and enjoyably stupid about this film.
