I enjoyed watching 'Bloody Wednesday' so much that I had to buy it! The film has a BIZARRE way of showing the audience what happens when one loses touch with reality. It goes great with all my other odd-ball Horror flicks I've collected over the years. What I find great about 'Bloody Wednesday', is that there's never a dull moment, as in WTF moments! There's plenty of them. I enjoyed the strange approach used to describe the infamous crime inspired by the 1984 McDonald's massacre in California by James Huberty. Raymond Elmendorf does a fantastic job in playing a weirdo. I love how the film captures Raymond's character, Harry, is losing his sanity, slipping further from reality, and becoming even more swallowed up in a sick, dream-like state of mind. His conversations with his teddy bear and how, in his mind, brings the bear to life, is creepy stuff! His teddy bear has all the "right" answers. The last fifteen minutes of this flick is even crazier! Lets just say that when Harry does walk in the restaurant and starts spraying bullets everywhere, you'd think the scene is never going to end! - It's that insane. Note: I personally think it's messed up that a film like this was given the green light right after the McDonald's massacre. That's what's keeping me from giving this film a five star rating.

From the description of this movie, it sounds like one of those Texas Chainsaw Massacre clones they made so many of during the 80s. That's what I expected: Not a great cinematic masterpiece, but 90 minutes of mindless entertainment. Unfortunately, this was not at all what I expected. The movie is about a guy with hallucinations and then goes berserk, killing people in a diner. This scene is a couple of minutes at the end of the film, and up until that point it's s a bad attempt at some kind of psychological thriller.

Don't get fooled by the title, the plot description or the fact that this was written by an Oscar winning screenwriter. We all have our bad days, I guess. Don't waste your time and money.
