Admirable film.
A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
A Disappointing Continuation
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Spoiler Alert!!! I liked the script for this film where it focused more on the story than the actual gore because from what I remember there was very little gore but has an acceptable body count. It may have been somewhat of a rip off of Friday the 13th or the burning but so what? I think the fact that they focused more on the story than the actual kills was really the best part for the film. I know the acting was poor but it's a low budget movie what did you expect? Another thing that surprised me about this film was that it actually had a sequel. As soon as I saw the cover of the 2nd I went and saw it but the sequel focused too much on the gore than the actual story. I liked this movie and I'm shocked it only has a 2.9 rating compared to the second that has a rating of 4.4 Seriously the people who rated must be gore-hounds only focusing on the gore. The 2nd sucks compared to the original!
I bought my copy in Australia just to see and believe that there are some slashers so bad you have to watch them to be believed. Bloody Murder, the title said it all, it should be bloody, well, it isn't. You never see the knife or other items go into the flesh. The storyline is simple, some teenagers go to summercamp were years ago somebody died (friday the 13th). Of course they would like to play a game to impress the girls (friday the 13th). And then they all disappear one after each other. In a grisly way? No, in a ridiculous way. Of course one chick is the hero and has been warned by an old creepy man (friday the 13th) about what happened 20 years ago. The suspect of the killings nowadays is, ...yawn....Jason. The beginning of the movie is also that kind of....the classic way, Guy and girl in the woods, car broke down, guy wanders alone through the woods to catch some gasoline and runs into the killer, watch the killer, thin and small. Not believable, but he has, shiver, a chainsaw (TCM) and a hockeymask (friday the 13th) and wears an overall (Halloween) and he starts his chainsaw, you can hear it roar but the chainsaw isn't running when you watch closely. Anyway, anything what makes a horror bad is in it. No gore at all, you never see the for example the bow goes into the flesh, they only show the results. And the acting when they die, I guess that my children could do Play Dead better. But guess, they made a Bloody Camp 2. Will see it shortly, but they say that they learned from there mistakes and that that one is gory...
Wow. Just wow. I did not realise a slasher could have no redeeming qualities, but I suppose you discover something new everyday. Usually when it comes to evaluating slashers I am very, very lenient because as long as there is enough gruesome (and inventive) murders and some gratuitous nudity it's all good. To be honest, I do not think I have ever seen a slasher that has not had either. Unfortunately, this happens to be the first, as there is nothing redeemable about Blood(less) Murder. The acting is laughably bad, and I mean really, really bad. Forget the slashers of the 80's (which were notorious for poor actors), this bunch are embarrassing. The script is stupid and sounds like it was written by a deaf monkey. However, my real beef with this movie is the complete lack of blood and nudity. There are around 6 deaths, half of which are off screen and the rest consisting of some object being thrown at them as they stumble around moaning (with a tiny amount terrible looking blood around the wound). Although the counselors (oh yea, I have not explained the plot, just refer to the plot summary of Friday the 13th and you will be fine) are nubile 18 year old's, there is but one brief, albeit clothed, kissing session. To top this off, the film is 100% serious and this is what makes it truly horrendous. Bloody Murder is the type of movie to watch in a "bad movie marathon" whilst drunk because it is really a dismal addition to the slasher genre.0/5
There is just so many times you can do a typical slasher film about summer camp without running out of ideas.They would have done well to steal some from other films and put them in here, as it really never got very interesting.It was just the same tired old jokes and screams, and you knew who the murderer was half way through. Well, maybe you knew who one of the murderers was. It seems that this is not over as they have a Bloody Murder 2.Jessica Morris and Patrick Cavanaugh in his debut film, made it somewhat interesting, but I am not into PG horror.
