You ever watch a film when you are cheering for the slasher? Yep...we all have. Maybe the hunks and babes who are preyed on by the killer remind us of our neighbors, people we went to college with, idiots we work with, or people in the Biden Whitehouse. Today we have a film like that, though the great looking starlet in the film does cause us pause. Today we look at the grim slasher film, "Blood Widow," directed by Jeremiah Buckhalt.
Without the benefit of clergy, our sultry protagonist Laurie (Danielle Lilley) moves into an old house in the woods with her boy toy, the dweeb Hugh (Brandon Kyle Peters). Hugh does have a saving grace...he owns a crossbow...yes! Laurie is a bit of a grouch and is not happy when the first night in their new house, he invites all his idiot friends over for a wild party with booze, techno-music, and illegal drugs. Oh, the friends discover an old mansion like estate next door. The place is creepy and is an abandoned Girls school. Abandoned? Yep, closed down when one of the little girls went spazoid and murdered a lot of other girls. Happens...you know girls. The party rages and the lone resident of the boarding school, the killer from 25 years ago, is mad at the noise. Yep, the now adult killer dons a mask, grabs a sickle, and goes hunting for humans.
Laurie keeps yelling at Hugh. Their friend, the New Age idiot Harmony (Kelly Quinn) takes her crystals and Budha over to the abandoned school and gets sliced and diced. Then the Blood Widow killer comes over with her sickle and decapitates a couple of Hugh and Laurie's guests. Then the babe Amber (Emily Cutting), who we held out hope would seduce Hugh, is murdered with the sickle. Then more of the annoying techno-music partiers are sliced and bled out. Blood Widow sees something in Laurie, knocks her out, brings her back to the girls school, chains her up and...well, it is pretty gory...you'll see. Now Laurie is in much danger, and bleeding out. Hugh grabs his crossbow, and his other dweeb buddy, Kenneth (Chris de Padua) and storms over to the school in search for his bleeding out girlfriend.
Does Hugh have what it takes to fire a crossbow? Will the chained up and tortured Laurie be able to recover to escape and help Hugh and Kenneth? Is the sultry Laurie too beautiful to die at the hands of the Blood Widow? The ending may shake you up as gore and torture are maximized in the final 30 minutes. If you like your slasher films to include a fiend that slashes, and you like your horror films horrific and gory, see "Blood Widow."
