... View MoreIt's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
... View MoreVery 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.
... View MoreLast night I got to see the newest movie from Rooster Teeth and well I must say Blood Fest was certainly an interesting movie and I enjoyed every minute of it. Yeah it pokes fun at the tropes of Horror movies but it's also a loving tribute to the tropes of Horror movies
... View MoreAbsolutely loved it! Reminiscent of cabin in the woods with that great rooster teeth feel expanded
... View MoreBlood 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.
