Scream Bloody Murder

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.

I don't know what's gotten into my wife lately. When we first got married, she didn't like me working with other girls, didn't like it when women were naked on TV, and hated the exploitation movies I rented. Then in the past couple of months, we went out with a group of friends and she thought it would be fun for us all to go to the local strip joint (she even through dollars at the stage), she's been nice and laid back in the evenings when it comes to sleazy TV, and she rented this movie and brought it home! It was awesome!

This movie is pure cheese and it maintains a certain sexuality level without going overboard. It's funny stuff with some creative death scenes, and one hell of a twist ending. While I must admit, some of the padding at the beginning of the movie made me wonder what I was getting into, by the end of the movie I was glad I'd watched.

If you rent the DVD, DO NOT watch the trailer for the movie included in the menu before you see the movie. Not only does it show each death scene -- it also gives away the numerous twists at the end! Beware!

Great cast, fun movie. Go check it out!

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.

Low budget horror there's different types but the main one is low budget (where the film could still pass for a real film)and then there's low-low budget which almost means no budget(where everything's just as crappy as the cheap as their home video look). But sometimes these films are some of the worst and should never be seen by anyone but also...sometimes there's also a fun treat. This is Scream Bloody Murder...god, this film is badly acted, badly shot, badly edited and stupid as hell but you know what...I actually liked it. I know it's weird but I found this flick fun as hell and had me watching amazed that was actually liking it. What I found most fun and really saved the flick was the script. I actually found it kinda of smart and funny and could easily tell what they were aiming for....cheap, funny horror that doesn't try to be anything that it isn't. So I liked how they actually went all out with that and made fun of themselves by being so beyond stupid that it worked. I found the script to be really smart for the most part but there were moments so stupid in the flick that I didn't know if they were actually written like that or just thought up on the day of shooting. First while most of the people in this film are bad actors there were a few surprises...first Brittany Montgomery as Parker was so great a being a bitch(i loved her) and I actually liked Gloria Balding as shay who okay as the dorky nerd. Then a couple of the other girls had some really good moments but for the most parts the girls did what they had to do thanks to bad directing. Everyone else was plain awful. But they all die so it's okay. Then some of these girls would have been so much more pleasing to eye for the camera if they would have had been made up a little. God, all the girls here look like they just walked off the street looking normal and plain. It's suppose to be a freaking movie, dress them girls up a bit yo!This movie would have been so much better and really have fit the script(without having to go all beyond stupid because of it's lack of money) with a bigger budget because the crappy look of the flick is what really kills it...besides it's bad acting and lack of nudity. Come on give us break, if your gonna make a really, and I mean really crappy movie with bad everything then at least show some nudity. It's the least they could do. For script that was made to be done on a low budget they could have at least done this once they found out how no budget this film was going to be. Acouple of boobs would have really made this film that much better. But this film wasn't a total waste, trust me after being burnt by other kind of these films(Scarecrow slayer) that just plain sucked this film was actually kinda good at being really awful.

My Rating: It's kinda hard to say, this flick was really that good but good at being that if you know what I mean...and it didn't get me mad like Mr and Mrs Smith and Prom Night did which I hated a lot more than this flick. So I'm gonna have to give it a very happy A GOOD FLICK. If it would have had a budget that fit a creative script and some damn boobs then it would have gotten a better rating.

A vanload of female students breaks down in the middle of absolutely nowhere. Luckily, a helpful hillbilly shows up with his tow truck. The vulnerable young girls are whisked back to the "End Of The Road" garage and salvage yard where things spiral hopelessly out of control.

SCREAM BLOODY MURDER is a non-scary, somewhat humorous horror movie parody that hits as much as it misses. When compared with other, far more expensive productions featuring similar subject matter, it's actually not too bad.

Is it dumb? Yes, but at least it seems to know how dumb it is, while making the most of its microscopic budget...
