Blood Widow

Okay, so, the trailer looked kinda cool. Not extremely, but the killer looked totally wicked and it seemed interesting, so I watched it.

Big. Effing. Mistake.

This movie is nothing but crap from end to beginning. The lighting was awful and the sound keeps jumping from muffled to high-pitched throughout the film. But the worst thing about it, is the acting. I mean... no. Just no. These people cannot act to save their lives, and that is me being nice. The story was intriguing and the movie could have been amazing - but it wasn't. The only positive thing I can say about this film is this: The killer had a cool costume, and the gore was pretty nice. But unless horrible cinema and cringe-worthy acting is your cup of tea, I do NOT recommend this movie.

Will this new wave of horror directors ever learn?!? Will their excuses always fall in the category: low budget, I did my best?? Why keep doing the same thing over and over when you know from starts it's nothing but a mistake?!?

Why do I always get to see cardboard characters in this kind of movies? How come only the worst possible decisions are taken, how come no one ever knows better and how great would it be to see some brain action for once? Blood Widow is a terrible movie: acting below amateur; the kills make you facepalm; the gore is laughable; the music used in the movie was probably made by an 11 years old with a free download program; last but not least, the killer design is worth of a better movie indeed.

This one will annoy you, will get you sad cause you wasted time on it, shows no potential, no real plot, just a very bad case of deja-vu. Stay away, look elsewhere, plenty of good indies around there.

Blood Widow translates into: "let's make the same mistakes again. maybe people won't notice!"

Cheers!

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.

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.

While this movie had more budget than many of the recent movies (especially the found footage movies) usually do, and thus could have had some benefit from that, I can honestly say that it was money well wasted. The acting is some of the worst I have ever seen, the characters epitomize flat, the premise is weak and given no real development, and the building of suspense is nonexistent. The gore is amateur and funny at best-- but not really funny in a good way. What makes it worse is just how terrible the characters are... for a bunch of successful young adults to just arbitrarily decide, without a second thought, to go onto private property and absentmindedly vandalize a home, even if abandoned, is absurd... it is like the story is written by a barely pubescent teen imagining what adults would do, and things just go downhill from there(note this is not really a spoiler, it happens almost immediately and is not really any more important than anything else in this sad charade of a plot). Of course, as always, watch it if you want to. It is not the very worst movie I have seen by any means, but it comes close, and given the variety of better options out there (including the option of replaying something you have seen before but enjoyed) you might save yourself some time and skip this poor attempt at a slasher flick.
