Touches You

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

I went into watching this expecting The Purge crossed with Cabin in the Woods, with the classic humour and twists that Rooster Teeth has delivered up to now with Lazer Team 1 and 2. It wasn't not enjoyable, don't get me wrong, some of the tropes were funny and offered a laugh out loud moment, but others were just cringe-worthy, and not in the way we wanted. Some of the effects were clunky, with some of the acting even clunkier. They had an idea, and ran with it, but feel that they stumbled and possibly left limbs around, and should have stopped and regrouped.Alright, but not a reflection of what everyone involved is capable of.

Very well written, with a lot of nods to other horror movies. Very much had a "Cabin in the Woods" vibe to it wile remaining unique in is own way. My only complaint is that there are some scenes that are a bit predictable.

Absolutely loved it! Reminiscent of cabin in the woods with that great rooster teeth feel expanded

Blood Fest is a horror-comedy which can be filed under the meta movie bracket. It unashamedly wears its influences on its sleeves and it is an unpretentious celebration of the horror genre. The man behind it is writer/director/actor Owen Egerton who plays the circus ringleader here. The story is very simple. A horror-obsessed teenager goes along to a new horror-themed festival called Blood Fest with his two pals. When there, it becomes quickly apparent that the horror is real and the attendees become the prey of the killers who run the place.The set-up of the movie is basically a neat way to allow for the inclusion of a variety of horror tropes and situations. To this end we have chainsaw killers, killer clowns, a hillbilly psycho, sexy vampires, marauding zombies and torture sadism; with nods to all manner of movies including The Wizard of Gore (1970), The Evil Dead (1981), Ring (1998), Saw (2004), etc. It is quite a lot of silly fun and pretty amusing quite a bit of the time too with some funny lines, i.e. 'your mother was killed by horror'. What it ultimately is, though, is a gore-fest with knowing nods to the genre and as such will make for somewhat entertaining viewing for horror fans.
