BLOOD WIDOW: 2013:--:HRR: I don't even think that Blood Widow made it to theaters, and I will admit I got it from a Redbox machine because most of the other horror movies were gone and the cover looked promising. I know, never judge a book by its cover etc.
I was extremely disappointed with this movie and I learned my lesson by renting a movie based on the cover. Obviously I know better than this, but the cover did include the best part of the movie. The villain in this movie isn't exactly original, but I did seem to enjoy the way she methodically slashed the hapless victims in the movie.
Blood Widow is a decent villain and the best part of the movie.
The cast of this movie didn't have any notable actors and seemed like they were students in a sub par film school. They almost made you want to have them get killed.
Who is the worst actor in the movie? It's hard to tell but they are all bad.
The scene where they were dancing, partying, drinking and overall having a good time really degraded the movie to a border line home movie. It was terrible. I popped it out of the DVD player twice because I couldn't take it anymore, but then I forced myself to watch it since I paid 2.99 for it.
Some of the acting will make you cry.
Then some of the killing took place and it started becoming more interesting. There was no rhyme or reason to the murder, only that the killer had some sort of past issues in her family and hated her father. That was it. A picture of the father with his face scratched out consisted of the back drop. Minimalist I guess.
Why does she kill? Who knows and who really cares?
Horror movies occasionally make you cheer for the killer and this was certainly one of them. She was emotionless, callous, and sneaky so it gave her a certain aura. She would always pop up when least expected and had different ways of killing.
Sneaky isn't she?
One of her favorite weapons was a whip with hooks on the end and she uses it against the main heroine, the only character that actually puts up a fight. Incidentally, the blood widow takes off the female lead's pants to whip her legs, giving the movie the obligatory, "girl in her underwear running from a killer" element. The ending was the only really redeeming part because the blood widow has a hard time killing the main star of the movie.
The deadly whip slashes up its victims.
It's a cat fight at the end and she puts up a pretty good fight.
What's the best part of the movie? The blood widow wins. That's how bad the casting, acting and overall movie was. As soon as she killed the final actress, I popped the movie out of the DVD player so fast that I almost forgot to put it in it's case. I would definitely pass on this movie, unless you are completely bored and want to make a drinking game out of the times that the each cast member gets killed: 51%
So each time we die, the viewers should chug a shot?
Yes, each time one of you die, chug a shot. This makes the movie watchable.
