I've seen this movie twice... the first time I was somewhat disappointed with it, as like some of the other reviewers, I thought there wasn't enough gore, tension, and scary moments.

Strangely enough, I really had fun watching it a second time, and here's why: instead of watching it as a horror / slasher flick, I watched it as more of a murder mystery... who is the killer? What is his / her / their motivation? In my opinion, the best moments of this movie are when various characters run through their various hypotheses regarding the killer and motive. The screenplay was well-crafted, so at any time the killer may be any one of a number of characters. Some of the dialog between characters is quite amusing.

So if you look at the cover, and think

hockey mask + chainsaw = gore, gore, gore

you'll undoubtedly be disappointed. But if you keep an open mind and play along trying to figure out the killer and motive, you should enjoy the flick. The soundtrack to the movie is excellent, considering that this movie had to be super low budget. The actors also do a nice job.

This movie is absolutly one of the funniest horror movies ever! Okay so I jumped in two parts, but I haven't had this much fun in a movie since The Evil Dead II! This is great, and yes it does rip-off Friday the 13th, Halloween, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but still this movie is enjoyable, and I don't see why these "die-hard" horror fans don't like it. Come on loosen up, these people know they are in a bad film, so they don't dry to take it seriously. 5 STARS Definately!!!

All of you you loved bloody murder hang on to your seats for the sequel to bloody murder! I know that bloody murder 1 wasn't the best movie but bloody murder 2 tops all horor movies, hot chicks and gore, gore, gore, unlike the first one more gore! So keep your eyes peeled for bloody murder 2 on DVD! (staring Katy Woodruff)

I know, I know....the cover looks cool...a dude with a hockey mask and a chainsaw, but the movie sucks big time. I saw the cover to the movie in the video store and i said to my self "This movie looks like it would be pretty good"...please don't make the same mistake I did. I also thought there would be alot of gore in it, but there is hardly any, you would think a guy with a chainsaw would leave a little gore behind....wrong!!! I mean the guy only has the chainsaw one friggin time!! The movie is so bad, you are embarrassed when you watch it. Only rent this movie if you want to see how awful a movie can be.

I really liked this movie along with Bloody Murder 2. I'm always one for a masked killer lose in the woods! especially yielding a chainsaw! I bought this movie without renting it first and I was not sorry I did for I have seen much worse movies. The movie tries to be a Friday The 13th type film. Although not as good as the Friday the 13th films, it was still a good movie. Taking place in the woods with campers and counselors, the "legend" becomes real as bodies soon turn up missing or dead. The legend of Trevor Moorehouse is now a reality and now the remaining survivors must fight for their life or be the next victim. A must see for slasher horror fans. I definetly recommend anyone seeing this movie. It might be a ripoff of other movies but it still delivers enough to keep you interested.

Well, if you are looking for a serious horror film... DON'T WATCH THIS MOVIE. The acting is bad, the gore is horrible, the blood looks fake and the movie basically has a story line that has been used... about 10 times (Friday The 13th 1-10).

But, if you want a laugh.. this is worth checking out. You may get a little aggravated with the bad acting and the "it's Trevor Moorhouse" refernces. A tad bit overdone. The plot fails to tell you who he is, where he comes from, why he is killing, et etc. Trevor also turns out to be some little 5' 10" 180lb masked squirt with a chainsaw instead of a left hand (UM, EVIL DEAD 2?!?).

Anyways, watch part 2 instead. Almsot the same storyline.. better gore, blood, acting,story, etc.

"Bloody Murder" is an average slasher movie with nothing to offer to it's audience. There is almost no violence. The death scenes are done all off screen and we barely see the after effects of them. The plot is a mess, and becomes confusing and rather uninteresting as the film goes on. There is also no sexual content or nudity and no eye candy either. "Bloody Murder" is just another slasher movie with no plot. Would have been better if it had more violence, more sex, and more plot. This film, although rather entertaining, should really be called "bloodless murder."

I bought this movie at blockbuster due to the cover. It looked like it might be similar to Friday the 13th. When I watched it, I didnt want to finish it because it was so bad. I recommend you not rent or buy this movie. A definite waste of money. No gore, nudity, suspense, etc. It had nothing a decent horror movie has. For the love of God, please dont get this movie. If you do, you will see what I'm talking about. I had to rate this movie a 1 because it wouldn't let me leave the rating part blank. Unfortunately

Bloody Murder is an absolutley brilliant film. Words couldn't say how very deeply I adored this movie. It is art. The character development is superb. The plot is suspenseful, horrifying, and electrifying. This one kept me guessing right to the end. The cinematography is unparalelled to any other I have seen...ever. Why this film didn't sweep the academy awards, I will not know. The acting is amazing. These young minds have lured me into a world of guessing and astonishment. Why they are not famous? Who knows. The characters have such interesting lives! Julie, the main character is so multi faceted, it blows me away. And the very thought of Trevor Moorehouse keeps me waking up in the middle of the night terrified, drenched in a cold sweat. The bottom line, my friends, is that Bloody Murder is incredible. Rent it immediatly and beware of the woods...

A guy in a hockey mask kills kids at Camp Placid Pines. I was so upset by the rip off aspect of the film, it was difficult for me to enjoy it. This story includes the creepy old guy who warns the kids about the killer as well as the kid who wears a hockey mask just to scare the other campers. It is better than most low budget slasher films, but not where we want it to be.

No F-bombs or nudity.
