Storyline

Fans flock to a festival celebrating the most iconic horror movies, only to discover that the charismatic showman behind the event has a diabolical agenda. As festival attendees start dying off, three teenagers - more schooled in horror-film cliches than practical knowledge about neutralizing psycho killers - must band together and battle through various madmen and monstrosities to survive.

Quotes

Anthony Walsh: But children - children, we have a problem. Horror is dead. I mean, look around you! Our vampires glitter! Our zombies have become soap opera stars! Our slashers have grown dull and old. We put Freddy on a lunchbox! We put Lovecraft in a coloring book! We have overconsumed and overproduced, and we have taken what was forbidden, what was dangerous, and we have made it common.

Heads Off, The Queens of Heart Said

Silly little comedy slasher with lots of chainsaws and blood: some teens on the run from a horde of madmen, the place: Blood Fest, a kind of horror carnival.

Good production and solid acting make this a nice little snack. My only wish left: someone should make this without the comedy elements - something like Chainsaws in the Chocolate Factory with lots of splatter, gore and some fine surreal moments, that would be nice ;)

Watchable, if you like movies like Scream, Final Destination and the like, but after a furious beginning at the fest the movie got some lengths here and there.

5.5 would be my precise rate.
