4.0 out of 5 stars Fun low-budget movie, November 7, 2000

By A Customer

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVED IT!!!, December 2, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Bloody Murder [VHS] (VHS Tape)

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)
