 More or less a ripoff of the Friday the 13th series, the killer from "Bloody Murder" bears an uncanny resemblance to Jason Voorhees (there's that janitorial jumpsuit and hockey mask!), and if that isn't enough, it takes place at a summer camp. This movie tries hard to be a whodunit, but all those red herrings from the script go to waste when the camera shows too much of the killer and his/her whereabouts. Just looking the back of the killer's head should narrow it down to a couple characters. Then it truly becomes a no-brainer with its multitude of meanwhile moments. Really, if you see the killer at one place and some other character at another at the same time, you can pretty much eliminate that other character as a suspect. They try to throw in a big twist near the end, but the camera telegraphs it. Other than sticking around to see if you've correctly figured out the killer's identity, there isn't much reason to watch this movie. The acting is wooden all around, even while the characters are thinking or silently reading! The movie also skimps on the gore and nudity, which severely limits its appeal, and some of the deaths are laughable, especially the one where a victim freezes up for at least five seconds and keels over sideways after being shot with arrows! The bottom line: "Bloody Murder" is mild and rather mediocre overall. It may be worth a look if you don't mind watching a clone of "Friday the 13th", but otherwise skip this one. |

OVERALL RATING
** NOTE: The more dots on the domino, the higher the rating. 12 is a masterpiece. One or no dots is also a masterpiece, if you consider poop to be a gourmet ingredient.** |
