Scream Bloody Murder

Terrible, terrible, terrible.

I can appreciate a good spoof, but this movie had me wincing all the way through. I'm 20 years old and I've done more professional stuff than this. Out-of-focus shots, too dark at times, terrible sound in some scenes and a REALLY annoying shifting white-balance (which means the image will change tones from one shot angle to another).

The whole thing was filmed by handycam and looked like a porno, from the costumes, to the actresses, to the plot. Scream Bloody Murder is a porn movie minus the actual porn!

The story was ridiculous and the ending downright stupid and nonsensical. I usually can appreciate a stupid-fun movie, but this is just way too horrible. Thank God I got to rent this for free.

2 out of 10! And that's on the strength of the uniforms alone ;).

Last year I was at a video store with a few friends when we saw the case for Scream Bloody Murder. It was obvious right away that this would be a rather cheesy and/or bad movie. And seeing as those types of movies always make for entertaining group viewing, we rented it.

We were somewhat disappointed when we got to the actual viewing part as the movie was plain bad. Not really even in the entertaining way as it was obvious that they were trying to make a campy movie (and just weren't doing a very good job of it).

As the movie reaches the climatic final showdown it suddenly takes a turn for the hilarious. I don't want to spoil anything but you'll know when it happens. The humor up till then has been hit and miss at best but the last 15 minutes or so are pure gold.

If you enjoy cheesy movies, and are willing to sit through the first hour or so of not so good viewing, then check it out. Otherwise, pass.

When I rented this, I was all ready for a good old-fashioned, old-school hack fest. Alas, I was bitterly disappointed.

I obviously didn't rent this movie for good acting or a believable plot. But I do require gore, and if there are going to be lots of hot women, I need a little gratuitous nudity. I got neither! A couple glops of fake blood and two women making out was it.

The film tries to overcome all of these dire shortfalls with comedy- sort of a mish-mash of gags and jokes paying homage to the horror genre as a whole. I chuckled a couple times, but they were the kind of chuckles that slip out when you are desperately seeking to be entertained.

Don't bother with this one. 2/10

Okay... maybe phenomenal isn't the word, but it's the first word that comes to mind.

Scream Bloody Murder is about a bunch of school girls, complete in school girl uniform, who, along with their female teacher and some guy with a broken leg who's driving them,are on their way to a dance at an all boys school. Each of the girls fills a stereotype- The goth, the *ahem* promiscuous one, the lesbian, the virgin, the smart one, and the mysterious new girl who joins their motley crue of cliches at the last minute. Their van breaks down, and a tow truck driver takes them to his shop, where the girls, when not making out with each other, start dying gruesome deaths.

Now, you're probably thinking, "Hey, this movie sounds terrible," and in a sense, you are correct. The film is anything but scary, but it wasn't made to frighten. Simply to entertain. If you're looking for a coherent plot, then stay away. If you're looking for cheesy effects and brilliant one liners, then definitely check this one out.

well, i was tempted by this film as the cover promoted, in equal measures, chainsaws and schoolgirls. what a major disappointment followed such promise.

this is either some sort of student film or one big "in-joke" that only a select few are in on, one of which i am not. the dreary plot, that of a bus breaking down in the middle of nowhere and the passengers being killed one by one, is as long in the tooth as the majority of the schoolgirls here.

it gets a three as there are two rather witty deaths, ones that i have not seen in any other film franchise, but even then they are not as spectacular as they could have been.

and the chainsaw on the cover that tempted me? it has a blade as long as a conventional pencil, and does not get used on anything or, more to the point for the intended market, anyone.

people who harbour a desire to make films one day should watch this just to see how not to do it. everyone else should give it a miss.
