I wanted to but couldn't!

Good concept, poorly executed.

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Okay, so, the trailer looked kinda cool. Not extremely, but the killer looked totally wicked and it seemed interesting, so I watched it. Big. Effing. Mistake. This movie is nothing but crap from end to beginning. The lighting was awful and the sound keeps jumping from muffled to high-pitched throughout the film. But the worst thing about it, is the acting. I mean... no. Just no. These people cannot act to save their lives, and that is me being nice. The story was intriguing and the movie could have been amazing - but it wasn't. The only positive thing I can say about this film is this: The killer had a cool costume, and the gore was pretty nice. But unless horrible cinema and cringe-worthy acting is your cup of tea, I do NOT recommend this movie.

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.

"Blood Widow" is not amongst the top of the line as far as slasher horror movies goes. Why? Well, because the storyline was really unconvincing and was bordering on being downright ridiculous.The storyline is about a couple buying a house on a secluded location, with an abandoned house on the adjacent lot. But the allegedly abandoned house is harboring a deadly secret. And when party-goers from the newly-bought house venture across the threshold, they unleash a silent killer.That was basically it for the storyline. There is very little else offered to the storyline throughout the entire movie, except for some vague hints at what happened in the abandoned house, leaving more questions open than giving answers.The acting was adequate, but the actors and actresses had a poor script to work with, and that showed on the final result on the screen. And the characters in the movie go a long way to show a new level of stupidity and totally out-of-tune behavior if one's life was threatened by a mysterious killer.The two things that worked for the movie was the music and score which was nicely scored and composed by John Czaban. And the second thing that worked in favor of the movie was the killer herself; enter the Blood Widow. The appearance and outfit was really stunning and worked out quite nicely. While it is no Jason Voorhees, Blood Widow wore her mask quite well.Most of the death scenes were just not working out too well. Especially because the Blood Widow had absolutely no problem decapitating people in a single thrust with her weapons. While it was good enough a kill on the movie, it was just not believable in any way that a woman of such small build and physique would be able to achieve such a thing.Oh, and before I forget, then I will say that the camera work and editing was actually quite good, and was also a key ingredient to keep the audience's attention throughout the course of an otherwise below average horror movie.Effects-wise, then "Blood Widow" was good enough. Don't expect a massive special effects galore here, though. The effects that were in the movie, however, were nicely executed and looked realistic.Overall, then "Blood Widow" is a poor experience, especially if you are as seasoned to horror and slasher movies as I am. And as such, then the movie manages to scape up a mere 3 out of 10 stars from me. The story needed more of a solid and thoroughly followed through storyline, which would have improved the enjoyment tremendously.

Neophyte director Jeremiah Buckhalt has crafted an auspicious debut with "Blood Widow." This movie has a plethora of delightful kills, all brought to you by the hands of a very capable and, dare I say, quite beautiful killer. The main draw here is the Widow. She is like something out of a baroque masterpiece from hell. I know I will be seeing her doll-like face in my nightmares for some time to come.In addition to the widow's frightening visage, Buckhalt has created a slasher film with quite a droll sense of humor. Jose Miguel Vasquez's Mark in particular delivers quite a few bon mots in the early going. His repartee with Kenneth in the early going is particularly funny.The film's superb third act, however, leaves humor by the wayside as things get deadly serious. The final fight is one of the most intense I've seen in some time, it is certainly not for the squeamish.There were certainly a few flaws, and I won't restrain from sharing my minor quibbles. There are, as in many lower budget films, some audio issues. The music in the second act's party scene didn't quite seem to be what the characters would have partied to in my opinion.All in all, I had a really good time and look forward to Buckhalt unleashes next.
