Boring

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It'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.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

I can't imagine what movie the other reviewers watched as only one person get's killed? Must have been another movie? Yes it takes about 45 minutes for the first victim to be slaughtered but we have some humor and some sleaze to grasp first. This movie had a great Hitchcock feel to it, and a must see for true horror fans. No it's not the best movie ever but it's quality early 80's slasher trash. Some drowning's in bathtubs, brutal knife murders, strangeling, etc. I have the cover as well as a female is lying nude and bloody!!!I have the Regal Video version of Bloodshed and it was 87 minutes. Slasher reviewer gives this twisted fiasco 3 thumbs up out of the full 5. That means check it out!!The incest overtones were a bit much but the religious brainwashing flashbacks made me laugh like a priest on his wedding day. Enjoy trash cinema and don't be so critical you other reviewers!!

CRAZED is one obscure movie. It's quite forgettable and boring but not bad. I've seen much worse than this. While watching it, I couldn't figure out when it was made, who was in it or why it was made. I couldn't help but feel that this movie was made in the 1970s, not 80s. The whole cast is unknown to me. And the reason why it was made is even more obscure. It's not horrific enough to be considered an all-out horror film. But it's too gruesome to be considered a standard melodrama. The characters in the movie were all annoying, certainly the woman who's looking for a room. Talk about an unpleasant character. And the killer was such a loser that it's impossible to empathize with him. The filmmaking is neither this nor that. It's very conventional filmmaking with very little personal, artistic touches to it but it's not 100% commercial filmmaking because of its low budget. In the end, it's like watching nothing at all.BTW, this film is also known as BLOOD SHED. I wonder why they called it that because there's no shed to be found anywhere in the entire movie.

Blood Shed/Crazed/slipping Into Darkness was the first movie I ever reviewed on IMDB. Initially I totally bashed the film. After A second viewing I take it back completly!!! The fact that the video art work makes it look like a violent-gore film lead to my negative review. I was expecting a gore fest and instead got a film with low body count and no gore. This film is actually very good. Their are a lot of interesting little things in this movie proving way ahead of the current events of our time. The lead character is constantly having flashbacks of his childhood. Most interesting is the priest flashbacks, the film seems to hint that he was molested by a priest especially of the quick shots of the boy on his knees possibly in a confessional booth. Ironically this issue is currently all over the news. It's almost as if the writer knew of a dirty little secret and was exposing it with this film. The character's army flashbacks are interesting too, especially since real life serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer had a bad experience in the army as well. It seems to me at second look that this film is a realistic look of how a lonley individual with serious past issues can slowly become completly insane and end up murdering people. To top it off there is some funny dialogue by the old ladies in this film to soften the serious tone. A second look at this film reveals a seriously under rated study of insanity. The original title Slipping into Darkness fits the movie better than the Blood Shed tag which will steer you the wrong way!

I avoided this movie--"Bloodshed" at the rental place I go to--until finally picking it up last night. And boy do I wish I just kept avoiding it.This movie is a bit confusing, and extremely boring. A woman leaves her farm to go stay at some house for no explained reason, and after much boredom, she has a seizure in the bathtub and drowns. This weirdo who lives at the house was watching from behind a one way mirror, and instead of reporting her death, he leaves it in her room. More and more boredom, and then a little bit of murder here and there until the stupid ending. I was so happy it was over. It was a little comical seeing old ladies as some of the cast members that would normally be played by stupid dumb blondes fresh out of high school. They were in the "scariest" parts of the movie.Avoid this movie. But if you like movies like "3 on a Meathook," check it out. That movie was boring with little to it. So is this. And it's just as odd. So, if you liked that, you'll find this enjoyable. I, personally, thought it was terrible.
