O Massacre

Bloody Murder (originally Scream Bloody Murder) is an early 2000's slasher film in similar vein to Scream, Urban Legend and I Know What You did Last Summer nixed with classic 80's tropes for good measure. The comic relief character was good. The rest of the actors were bad to forgettable. I wish the cinematography was better. Most of it takes place during the over-exposed day. It felt very point and shoot.

The script was fine. Serviceable but could have been elevated with better directing and cinematography. It's a shame!

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.

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 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!

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.
