"Blood Widow" is not amongst the top of the line as far as slasher horror movies goes. Why? Well, because the storyline was really unconvincing and was bordering on being downright ridiculous.
The storyline is about a couple buying a house on a secluded location, with an abandoned house on the adjacent lot. But the allegedly abandoned house is harboring a deadly secret. And when party-goers from the newly-bought house venture across the threshold, they unleash a silent killer.
That was basically it for the storyline. There is very little else offered to the storyline throughout the entire movie, except for some vague hints at what happened in the abandoned house, leaving more questions open than giving answers.
The acting was adequate, but the actors and actresses had a poor script to work with, and that showed on the final result on the screen. And the characters in the movie go a long way to show a new level of stupidity and totally out-of-tune behavior if one's life was threatened by a mysterious killer.
The two things that worked for the movie was the music and score which was nicely scored and composed by John Czaban. And the second thing that worked in favor of the movie was the killer herself; enter the Blood Widow. The appearance and outfit was really stunning and worked out quite nicely. While it is no Jason Voorhees, Blood Widow wore her mask quite well.
Most of the death scenes were just not working out too well. Especially because the Blood Widow had absolutely no problem decapitating people in a single thrust with her weapons. While it was good enough a kill on the movie, it was just not believable in any way that a woman of such small build and physique would be able to achieve such a thing.
Oh, and before I forget, then I will say that the camera work and editing was actually quite good, and was also a key ingredient to keep the audience's attention throughout the course of an otherwise below average horror movie.
Effects-wise, then "Blood Widow" was good enough. Don't expect a massive special effects galore here, though. The effects that were in the movie, however, were nicely executed and looked realistic.
Overall, then "Blood Widow" is a poor experience, especially if you are as seasoned to horror and slasher movies as I am. And as such, then the movie manages to scape up a mere 3 out of 10 stars from me. The story needed more of a solid and thoroughly followed through storyline, which would have improved the enjoyment tremendously.
