Bloody Murder

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!

1/10

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.

Before people keep using throw-away comments like "THIS IS THE WORST MOVIE I'VE EVER SEEN" on film reviews, they should try sitting through garbage like this. I've seen some utter incomprehensible, no-redeeming-quality trash in my time (sigh), and Bloody Murder adds to the pile. It isn't the worst movie i've ever seen (but then, like I said...), hoewever, this is bad. Very bad. Bad acting, direction, editing, continuity, FX, script, music, imagination, everything-in-the-world. Aaaargh! Watching this film was like being flayed ...and then having needles scraped across my bones. Watching this film was like being paid a visit by the dentist from the marathon man ...and then being thrown a well-done steak to chew on. Watching this film was like being born without skin ...and having to bathe painfully every morning in lemon juice. You get my point?

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.

Take a look at the cover, can you guess what overrated horror franchise this movie wants to imitate? What is so scary with a hockey mask anyway? It has no features to produce eerie shadows, smooth plastic has no texture, it's round, and regardless of what the lighting it's 1 step away from a big white smiley face. It is far from intimidating. The only thing intimidating about Jason is the make up under the mask (which isn't that intimidating anymore since it's been revealed in so many films) and Kane Hodder himself, who is one big bad monster of a stuntman you wouldn't want to screw with. With that said, why rip that off? Sorry, Bloody Murder doesn't employ Kane Hodder so this killer--what's his name--is not intimidating.

I find it hilarious this film tries to mimic Friday the 13th so much; Friday the 13th didn't even try to be a good movie. Heck, Friday the 13th was fund raiser for Sean Cunningham that happened to get lucky. So it's no surprise that Bloody Murder succeeds very well in following in another franchise's footsteps, despite what F13 fanatics will argue. F13 and Bloody Murder share many things in common: they have bad acting, bad scripting, bad scoring, bad directing, bad sound effects, tiny budget, you get the idea. Friday the 13th's only high points over Bloody Murder is Tom Savini, the gore-master, and the fact that Friday the 13th had much fewer films to compete with and 'rip off' in the early 80s.

Bloody Murder does have a twist (still ripping off F13, but it is a twist) .. . the 'mystery' element thrown in for good measures; my personal favorite scene was the classic 'it could have happened this way . . .' narration over a possible re-enactment of what could have happened. Friday the 13th meets Clue? Yeah, that's a scary thought.

I'll give the filmmakers the benefit of the doubt and assume they knew all along how corny this was. With that stated, even though the result was intentional, it still does not work. Small budget--no excuse. It does not work as corny horror, horror/comedy, or any combination. Sorry, nada, not here. Only thing here are clichés that have been tapped into so much that they're annoying now, even if the filmmakers are trying to make fun of them.

Ultimately, a very forgettable horror film. Much like how Friday the 13th should have gone, but didn't.
