BLOOD WIDOW

Blood Widow Movie Review

 A young couple moves into a new house. They soon throw a party, and many of the folks at it find their way to a mysterious house next door. What they don't know is a sadistic killer is hiding out there. This 2014 film is brought to us by a few grads of Full Sail University, which is right up the road from where I live. People in Central Florida who moved here expecting to start a career in the production world know Full Sail students as the people professionals turn to, as they will do almost anything for college credits--so the people producing projects get out of paying for work they should be paying people to do, Full Sail students get experience and, if they're lucky, credits for work they should be getting paid to do, and people who already have degrees (including Full Sail graduates) end up getting no work at all...not that I'm bitter or anything...

Anyway, director Jeremiah Buckhalt had just graduated from the school and gathered up a bunch of fellow students and some friends, and about $65,000, to make this little horror flick. The movie opens well enough, but once we meet the couple, and worse, their friends, our hopes for this movie diminish...but hang in there. The acting is abysmal. To get enjoyment from this movie, you really have to work hard to get past that. The killer will help you with this, as she looks really cool.

Don't ask how she got though that window

Who or what is Blood Widow? Who knows...moreover, who cares? She unleashes tons of carnage, so it really doesn't matter. There's loads of blood and gore in this movie, so if you're into that, you'll want to track this movie down. Some of the effects used look great...others look so bad and fake you'll laugh, but in a good way. Unfortunately, between the death scenes, there's not much happening to keep your attention. You will want to stick around for the final scene, however--it's unexpected and really very against the grain--when you see it, you will not be surprised to find there is a sequel in the works--look me up if you're shooting in Florida again (but note, I don't work for college credits or to see my name on IMDb).

On A Scale Of One To Ten: 5
