... View More"Blood Cult" opens pretty promising with two pretty gruesome murders within the first 15 minutes. Then it goes into normal slasher fare with none of the later killings being as near as interesting as the first two, all set around what appears to be a 70 something year old Sheriffs investigation (he even narrates some of the film). The later half pretty much turns into a cult conspiracy movie, with the reveal of the killer being handled pretty well since the film doesn't really give you any red herrings. There's a lot of dull dialogue, padding, and bad acting particularly from our sheriff hero, but, it's far from the worst SOV I've ever seen.
... View MoreA boring flick, that I can tell but with surprisingly good effects. It is really a zero budget filmed in 9 days but why people are hunting this one is that it was the first straight to video flick in the genre. That it was filmed in 9 days shows in the quality of the camera. They didn't use that much extra light because some scene's are a bit too dark, especially the night scene's. But as I said, the effects were done well. Just look at the body being found in a bin or the leg being slashed off. But it's a bit too much blah blah with a lot of hiss and almost no sound in the higher range. Some parts are a bit cheesy for example with the so-called Blood Cult. It's easy to find a copy of this one no on DVD for only a few euro's or dollars. If it wasn't the first straight to vid you would probably never see it again. One to have just to fill into your collection.
... View MoreIn a nutshell some serial killer is avenging the burning of witches by collecting body parts from his victims.This is reportedly the first direct-to-video movie, and it looks it.It seems to have been made with college actors, as they are thoroughly unconvincing when they plead for their lives.The shower scene, a common feature of slasher films shows nothing. We don't even see the girl hacked to dead; just blood splatter. In fact, we never really see the kind of hacking we expect to see in slasher films.It was an interest story, but a poor slasher film.
... View MoreWhat can I say? This was hands-down the worst movie I have ever seen in my life (and believe me, some of my favorite movies are admittedly horrible). The acting was amateurish, the sets were boring, and the camerawork was shoddy and sophomoric. This whole movie seemed like a college final project. I had to keep convincing myself that it was done by a teenager to make it seem somewhat good. The most disturbing factor of the "film" is that it's not even film at all-- it 's shot on video. That was extremely distracting. On top of all that, the dialogue is simply disastrous and the plot line is so basic it makes my eyes water. Not to mention they steal from at least four other horror movies in the first 20 minutes or so. If there were such a thing as zero stars, this movie would get it.The only thing scary about this movie is how bad it is.
