First of all i knew where i was going with this movie and i didn't expect much from it..It starts really slow,the characters seemed like they were just got picked from the street and the script was awful!!I thought while i watched this 'is there anything more interesting to do'?My nails maybe??The good part was the blood widow!!I mean she was scary and creepy and deserved a better movie to start in..seriously now!I didn't get why she became a killer,i tried but i got confused because this girl had major issues!!The leading lady was boring and uninteresting and i already said my opinion about the rest of the cast,in other words avoid this unless you have nothing else to do!
This is what happens when a movie's good point consists entirely on one decent villain concept while other aspects are ridiculously abysmal. Blood Widow has one of the worst acting, foul production and misguided use of gore that ever shamed the horror genre. It's literally like Japanese B-movie gorefest you've never heard about, but at least that is built on quirky premise while Blood Widow is an actual miserable horror.
The lead characters find themselves at strange location where past tragedy happened. Following barren story line where a strange antagonist still survives like many other horror movies after Texas Chainsaw Massacre, this movie falls in every turn. The most decent parts are the villain who looks quite menacing and a couple of gore, but even those appear underwhelming.
It has cardboard acting as though the actors were sedated just before filming and took the scenes while walking on mental limbo. There are some moments that feel like they are trying to sabotage their own movie, yet not even intentionally bad performance can be this bad.
Visual is too dark most of the times, which leaves the audience wondering if this is shot with broken camera. Audio fares worse as the sound suddenly spikes in volume after several minutes of muffled voice. Obviously, there's no cinematography or choreography here, instead of that the movie sprays blood hoping it would resemble thrill.
Perilous to your money and time, just avoid Blood Widow or take a glimpse on the poster, which is given more investment than the actual movie itself.

I watch a ton of movies, so a lot of them end up being low budget horror films. That said I am used to sub-par acting, and scripts with plot holes. This movie was not as bad as many others I have watched and not as bad as some other reviewers are saying.
Most of my problems with this movie are of the technical variety. First the camera person had focusing problems especially early in the film.It was as if he was using the camera for the very first time. The biggest problem in the movie though is the sound. It seemed like the only mic used was the one built into the camera. This results in barely being able to hear quite a bit of the dialog, especially if the actor was either facing away or was further away from the camera. This was a big factor in characters feeling flat. Other sounds such as doors were muted.
Bottom line the movie itself wasn't that bad but the audio was so frustrating that it made the movie seem much worse than it really was. If you can deal with the audio you might like this, otherwise skip this one.

If you're looking for yet another mediocre Texas chainsaw massacre slasher flick then look no further! The woman or man or not sure on the cover is in costume, from what I gathered while watching is that it has mental problems? When grabbing this DVD from red box at the safe-way I honestly thought it was a sci fie horror film. Like Jason X when Jason is in space because of how the title picture looked then finding out when popping it in it's just like every other B horror film I rented and have been renting for the last 6 months. I'm thinking that the main characters wanted to buy this house to throw large rave dance parties, one of the girls I think is a drug addict? Saying something about tripping out on drugs but I was en't really paying attention the film overall was not that good and for the most part up until the kills was boring and pointless. This is the first time I've watched a film from the production company and although it isn't as bad as Haunting of the innocent it's definitely on the crap list. I recall yawning throughout the film. The kills we're a bit unique but over all splatter slasher movies get so much better than this. I'm going to have to give it 2 out of 10 stars. It seriously was so boring it was hard to pay attention. Not so bad it's good but yet another so bad it's boring and when you mix together the independent splatter/slash with weak characters you couldn't give 2 dumps about with a killer that has already been done before or is unique but you don't really care then your outcome is a boring wasted Saturday night with 1.30$ missing from your wallet. Pretty disappointing. I'm on the chase for the next troll 2 horror and let me tell you "The fans" it's a so bad it's bad film. Take a few shots for me if you still are interested and want to watch with your buddies, get that movie style popcorn, and get ready to yell at the t.v like I do because you'll definitely be disappointed and bored.
What was there to like about this film, sadly.. not a thing!
The acting was well below par, even for a film of this nature. The death scenes were recycled garbage, poorly executed, and lack luster. I wanted more than anything to see who ever created the score killed in the film. In fact I wish the antagonist in the films used the director as a weapon to brutally beat the score composer to death.
Seeing that would have been more original than the over done script. Avoid this film, it's nothing you are looking for in a horror film. I literally wanted to punch someone in the face whilst I watched this. Horror films are truly becoming horrible.
