It's summertime and the camp leaders at Camp Placid
Pines have their hands full with preparing before the
kids arrive... But someone else has prepared for the
camp leaders to arrive. This time the local legend Trevor
Moorhouse isn't out to steal cats or destroy cars, this
time he's out for revenge!


I can't believe I made it through a second time of
watching this movie, and another thing I can't believe
is that this time, I enjoyed it! After having seen Death Factory
I thought to myself 'Oh this was rubbish but Bloody Murder
was worse' and now that I've seen Bloody Murder again,
I can honestly say that it's not as bad as I remembered
it to be, and it's definitely not worse than Death Factory
(which I won't even bother reviewing because of the poor
poor story mixed with a really horrible acting cast mixed with
the worst gore effects ever mixed with the ultimate ugly killer)

The acting in this movie is totally acceptable, it's not bad
but it's not good, well some of the actors are average
and some are truly bad. The directing is also nothing out of the
ordinary and feels quite boring and average. Sometimes
it feels as if the movie could've looked as if it was made
on a higher budget than it was as they could've removed
some cheesy scenes, for example the kitchen scenes,
which looked totally cheesy, but I guess I just think that
because they kind of reminded me of Head Cheerleader
Dead Cheerleaders ending.

This movie has many flaws indeed, for example, the guy
says that they were watching Sleepover Massacre 14
but infact I'm positive that I saw a clip from Fever
Lake in the movie that they were watching. Another
flaw is when the kind of long-haired guy gets a dart
arrow through his stomach, the dart arrow is very short
as you have seen it before but all of a sudden it seems
to have extracted, you can see the dart through the
stomach and out through the back, I say, that's the
longest dart arrow I have ever seen.


If this movie had some gore in it, people would
probably like it more, cause the lack of gore is just terrible,
all we get is like some arrows through stomachs
and a slit throat, common, what is that
chainsaw for anyway Trevor?


The soundtrack starts off quite promising with some
unknown pop track but rapidly changes from some eerie
kind of piano music to like guitar porno mood
music, what the hell was that all about?


Watch this a couple of times and it will get better,
oh and ignore the fact that it rips of Friday the 13th
completely... Let's face it, if this would've been
made before Friday The 13th, this would have been
just as loved as the F13th series are today, or
am I wrong? I wouldn't go buy this movie but if
there's nothing else in the rental place you should
check it out, who knows, perhaps you're
one of the few who'll like it.
