So much average

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

The story of "Blood Widow" is pretty mediocre but the new killer it creates is as memorable as "Chromeskull", a brutal, unapologetic force of unnatural death. A stereotypical group of friends meet a brutal end at the hands of a homicidal maniac in a mask is no new ground in horror but then again no one is wanting new ground, just new monsters and new bodies that hit the floor. "Blood Widow" gives us that. The acting is passable, with some proving better than others in bring the characters to life. The origin story and dialog in this film treads lightly with some spots fighting to hold true to the story but all that is forgiven in this slice 'em and dice 'em flick. The cast are believable enough, the action keeps your attention and the production is enough make the film watchable. "Blood Widow" is a low budget but it doesn't pretend not to be. Even with the lower budget Buckhalt still goes full steam into the kill scenes giving fans what they want-blood and gore and screams. Some deaths are not as memorable as others but this film gives good kills. The effects are noticeably cheap but fun to watch. The blood is plausible, the gore is face-forward and the kills are at times creative. The killer does seem a little too polished for the setting but given the backstory and implied origin tale that got the killer to this point in life you can accept the "polished" costume-y style "Blood Widow" takes in this film. Still there are some issues in "Blood Widow", the camera does hold on the cheaper effects a bit too long which could turn off more mainstream horror fans, the origin story is on the weaker side of horror mythos when comparing to other modern slasher icons, and some moments have less than stellar sound quality so be warned. Over all though, I found "Blood Widow", fun, entertaining and dark with no camp or extreme cheese aspects aside from the unavoidable like cliché characters and screaming while fake blood is spraying everywhere. Check it out if you are an indie or low budget horror fan.

This is your average slasher, with a slightly unique killer. Overall Blood Widow hits the marks; annoying victim, no cellphones, and a drawn out back and forth of people being were they should not be. Those are the tropes of the genre.Where Blood Widow excels is giving us an interesting killer, it's a woman! Okay this is not ground breaking new, but it is rare enough that it is worth noting. Also her costume is very interesting, and appealing to the eye. The kills are all practical effects, and not CGI.that makes some things look a little cheesy, but it lends a bit of credit to the movie.This movie gets it's grief, but I think it is worth a watch. The killer is all around interesting, and is fascinating to watch as she develops. The murder house is a good set, and the fact that the movie kept all of the effects practical make this movie stand out.

If you're looking for yet another mediocre Texas chainsaw massacre slasher flick then look no further! The woman or man or not sure on the cover is in costume, from what I gathered while watching is that it has mental problems? When grabbing this DVD from red box at the safe-way I honestly thought it was a sci fie horror film. Like Jason X when Jason is in space because of how the title picture looked then finding out when popping it in it's just like every other B horror film I rented and have been renting for the last 6 months. I'm thinking that the main characters wanted to buy this house to throw large rave dance parties, one of the girls I think is a drug addict? Saying something about tripping out on drugs but I was en't really paying attention the film overall was not that good and for the most part up until the kills was boring and pointless. This is the first time I've watched a film from the production company and although it isn't as bad as Haunting of the innocent it's definitely on the crap list. I recall yawning throughout the film. The kills we're a bit unique but over all splatter slasher movies get so much better than this. I'm going to have to give it 2 out of 10 stars. It seriously was so boring it was hard to pay attention. Not so bad it's good but yet another so bad it's boring and when you mix together the independent splatter/slash with weak characters you couldn't give 2 dumps about with a killer that has already been done before or is unique but you don't really care then your outcome is a boring wasted Saturday night with 1.30$ missing from your wallet. Pretty disappointing. I'm on the chase for the next troll 2 horror and let me tell you "The fans" it's a so bad it's bad film. Take a few shots for me if you still are interested and want to watch with your buddies, get that movie style popcorn, and get ready to yell at the t.v like I do because you'll definitely be disappointed and bored.

I watch a ton of movies, so a lot of them end up being low budget horror films. That said I am used to sub-par acting, and scripts with plot holes. This movie was not as bad as many others I have watched and not as bad as some other reviewers are saying.Most of my problems with this movie are of the technical variety. First the camera person had focusing problems especially early in the film.It was as if he was using the camera for the very first time. The biggest problem in the movie though is the sound. It seemed like the only mic used was the one built into the camera. This results in barely being able to hear quite a bit of the dialog, especially if the actor was either facing away or was further away from the camera. This was a big factor in characters feeling flat. Other sounds such as doors were muted. Bottom line the movie itself wasn't that bad but the audio was so frustrating that it made the movie seem much worse than it really was. If you can deal with the audio you might like this, otherwise skip this one.
