A group of graduating students goes to an island for a short film project. After settling in, the group decided to play the infamous game Bloody Crayons and some when rattled by a mysterious killer who strives to kill all of them. Without intimidation I used to ignore Pinoy horror films when somebody told me to watch one but this film slightly shook me because of its wicked theme. The scene where they got into the island and get strip and swim seems unnecessary. Most scenes in the film are as usual, too formulaic but the great thing is that as the story goes it's getting unpredictable. The acting is well portrayed. Shout out to Maris Rascal which I caught her potentially skilled acting which is likely normal and she nailed it. Also I enjoy and appreciate the humor. Overall, Bloody Crayons is wildly entertaining and for those fond on watching thrilling flick this summer, this is a recommendable film to watch.

Dire, tedious slasher film
Groverdox23 November 2019
Here is a Filipino slasher movie. Having never seen such a thing from said country, and seeing that the movie features many pretty girls, I gave it a watch.
I shouldn't have bothered. It's pretty uninteresting - in fact the only thing the filmmakers do right is use an attractive cast. Other than that, the movie really taxed me. I was just waiting for it to end.
The plot - not that it matters - is a group of students who go stay in a house and start getting killed. Where have you heard that before?
The students are apparently amateur filmmakers, and perhaps they're in this house to film a movie. That doesn't really add anything to the story, and it's impossible to believe them as filmmakers, or anything else, really - other than soap opera actors and models slumming it in a horror film.
The movie may not be original. But who expects that in a slasher? It would help if, however, it were entertaining.
Another problem is that the movie fails to give you any sense of character. There are probably just too many people staying in the house, so you never get to know any of them, and none make an impression.
The movie is named after a weird game the characters play, like a variation of "truth or dare", which involves drawing on each other's faces with crayons. I didn't really get it. Mostly I was just wondering why anybody would do such a thing.

Bloody Crayons is Surprisingly Okay

Warning: Spoilers
With such a simple and unpretentious story line, it wasn't difficult to enjoy the film.
The direction built was straight and clear. Along that road are nine characters (less after some got killed) which we got to know even if it was just for a short while. When they started playing the Bloody Crayons game, there was a brief harmony among the characters.
BUT that same moment also marks the turning point and emergence of each personality's darker shade. The deception and confusion led to an even more interesting and gruesome series of events.
The young actors' performances were on point but there are those who stole the spotlight. There's Jane Oineza who played Olivia. Switching from killer to victim and back to killer asked a lot from her but she delivered. Yves Flores who played Justin also stole the spotlight with all his outbursts.
With all those together, I found how surprisingly okay Bloody Crayons is.
