Bloodbath in the House of Knives (2010)

Review by TdSmth5

Bloodbath in the House of Knives

2/10

Homemade movie with a script

In the intro, a girl in a nightgown has her throat slashed by some guy dressed in black. If that weren't enough, he proceeds to stab her privates repeatedly.

Next we meet a girl who gets creepy phone calls. Her family takes her to see a hypnotist show. The hypnotized audience member goes nuts and kills her dad. The girl had something to do with some mobster. The police investigate. Meanwhile, the killer kills two more people or so. The girl gets all the support from her sister. In the end, we find out who the killer is and it's a neat surprise.

There isn't any bloodbath in this movie, and I'm not sure what the "house of knives" is supposed to refer to. I guess it's meant to be a reference to movies from decades ago. But it has nothing to do with the story.

Let's be frank here. This movie is nothing but a homemade movie with a long and boring script. No one can act, lighting is terrible for the most part- shining one or two lights directly at actors just creates a whole lot of awful reflections and shadows; while the director knows where the place a camera, he doesn't know how to direct the movements of his "actors." There is no sense whatsoever of dread or terror. And the killer's body type bears no resemblance to the person who turns out to be the killer.

The positives of this movie include good sound and music, some good special effects, attractive actresses, a bit of nudity, and the twist at the end.

Bloodbath has a script that's too ambitious. Rather than long dialogue by people who can't act, why not give us more killings, more "action"? Clearly the folks behind this movie weren't aware of their own limitations and took themselves a bit too serious.
