Blood Widow

My 14 year old and I found the only thing entertaining about this movie was laughing at the terrible acting. The only thing good about it was the villain. She could have been SO scary. That mask was my motivation for renting the film. There was little to no suspense. The gore was over the top. I could have forgiven that for the movie style had any other portion been good but it wasn't. And most importantly the story just didn't quite make sense. Then I thought there was going to be some reveal at the end, but nope still confused. Did I mention the acting was TERRIBLE? Total waste of one of the most awesome creepy face masks I've seen in forever.

While this movie had more budget than many of the recent movies (especially the found footage movies) usually do, and thus could have had some benefit from that, I can honestly say that it was money well wasted. The acting is some of the worst I have ever seen, the characters epitomize flat, the premise is weak and given no real development, and the building of suspense is nonexistent. The gore is amateur and funny at best-- but not really funny in a good way. What makes it worse is just how terrible the characters are... for a bunch of successful young adults to just arbitrarily decide, without a second thought, to go onto private property and absentmindedly vandalize a home, even if abandoned, is absurd... it is like the story is written by a barely pubescent teen imagining what adults would do, and things just go downhill from there(note this is not really a spoiler, it happens almost immediately and is not really any more important than anything else in this sad charade of a plot). Of course, as always, watch it if you want to. It is not the very worst movie I have seen by any means, but it comes close, and given the variety of better options out there (including the option of replaying something you have seen before but enjoyed) you might save yourself some time and skip this poor attempt at a slasher flick.

This could be one of the worst movies I ever seen, a lot of blood and gore. Acting in some cases was amateurish, other times it was pretty good The story line and how the script goes is terrible. more imagination could have been added

The story goes against the human attitude, when one is threatened I am sure they would never allow them selves to be killed so easily.

I must admit I actually watched all the film even though at times I wanted to switch it off, some viewers will at times close their eyes and others will be cringing in their seats, other times you will be unhappy you watched it.

But all in all watch it and feel that feeling of horror when about to be killed,

I watch a ton of movies, so a lot of them end up being low budget horror films. That said I am used to sub-par acting, and scripts with plot holes. This movie was not as bad as many others I have watched and not as bad as some other reviewers are saying.

Most of my problems with this movie are of the technical variety. First the camera person had focusing problems especially early in the film.It was as if he was using the camera for the very first time. The biggest problem in the movie though is the sound. It seemed like the only mic used was the one built into the camera. This results in barely being able to hear quite a bit of the dialog, especially if the actor was either facing away or was further away from the camera. This was a big factor in characters feeling flat. Other sounds such as doors were muted.

Bottom line the movie itself wasn't that bad but the audio was so frustrating that it made the movie seem much worse than it really was. If you can deal with the audio you might like this, otherwise skip this one.

Okay, so, the trailer looked kinda cool. Not extremely, but the killer looked totally wicked and it seemed interesting, so I watched it.

Big. Effing. Mistake.

This movie is nothing but crap from end to beginning. The lighting was awful and the sound keeps jumping from muffled to high-pitched throughout the film. But the worst thing about it, is the acting. I mean... no. Just no. These people cannot act to save their lives, and that is me being nice. The story was intriguing and the movie could have been amazing - but it wasn't. The only positive thing I can say about this film is this: The killer had a cool costume, and the gore was pretty nice. But unless horrible cinema and cringe-worthy acting is your cup of tea, I do NOT recommend this movie.
