    * out of 4.

    A man in a hockey mask at a camp near a lake is slaughtering off all the sexually active teenagers. Sound familiar?? This poorly done slasher flick is a total failure in all aspects; from the writting to the direction. The film fails to build any suspense or any thrills or chills. Possibly the worst horror film released in the past 10 years.

    Rated R; Violence and Mild Sexual Situations.

    Good for hard core horror fans only

    Well you can tell by the cover of this movie that it's a Friday the 13th rip off, and ignore the chainsaw, there's only one killing with a chainsaw. It didn't have much blood and gore, and what blood was shown looked like red spray paint. Less than half of the characters were killed. This movie strongly resembles the form of the early 80's slasher, "He Knows You're Alone". It had the potential to be really good and it wasn't. If you're a hard core horror fan looking for a modern camp slasher, rent it, you may like it, but you'll probably be disapointed. 6 out of 10.

    Bloody Murder alright...for viewers

    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? Bloody Hell, more like!

    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?

    Bloody Murder

    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.

    5/10

    • Trivia
      Trevor Moorehouse's mask is exactly the same as the mask seen in Massacre au camp d'été 2 (1988). In that movie, two students plan to prank the killer, Angela, by scaring her while dressed as Jason Voorhees and Freddy Kruger. The mask appears again in Massacre au camp d'été 3 (1989) where Angela fishes it out of the lake.
    • Goofs
      In the beginning, when Trevor Moorehouse, first takes out his chainsaw it appears small. When he is chasing the man through the woods, its much bigger.
    • Quotes

      Dean: Bull shit. It's camp lore. There's no such person as Trevor Moorehouse.

      Tobe: I guess that's what we'll tell ourself when we're trying to sleep at night.
