CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

mrush I'm not sure why movies like this keep popping up---low budget pieces of crap shot with one shaky camera.Independent films are one thing but just because you've got a camcorder doesn't mean you need to make the movie you've always dreamed about.Two backwoods brothers living in a secluded run down old farm house just want to be left alone but some town smart alecks just can't leave well enough alone.After one of the brothers chases the town slut through the woods and she falls and implausibly kills herself on a stick their isolated life quickly spirals out of control.The script is terrible ,the acting is cardboard and the special effects are neither special nor effective.This movie reminds me of looking at someone else's vacation pictures....it may have been fun for those involved but it is sheer torture for anyone else to have to see.There is nothing much else to say about this mess except it is another homemade piece of drivel ,made by people with no talent for movie-making, that today's technology has made all too easy to churn out.Sometimes bringing too much technology to the masses can be a bad thing,as the recent explosion in the ability to produce home made horror films should attest.Get a camera ,some fake blood,a couple of chicks willing to show their milk bags,maybe an axe or two and an old rundown house and you too can make your very own horror movie.Then after you make your movie keep it at home where you can proudly show it to family and friends and any one else who unwittingly wanders by but never, ever,under any circumstance ,put it out on DVD for commercial release.Like scrap booking and knitting,the results of your homemade movie making should be solely for your own personal enjoyment.

movieman_kev Frankie and Donnie live in seclusion in a small town where everyone seems to accept them if not trust them. Until a group of rebellious teenagers (arn't they always?) get themselves in trouble. With the desire to remain spoiler-free I'll leave it at that.However, for a low-budget film I was surprised at how well the cinematography was and while the dialog wasn't anything amazing, that was above average for an indie horror film as well (for the most part) All in all a solid effort by first time Director, Jim McMahon... even if I might have had problems with the ending.My Grade: B- Eye Candy: Shannon Laine gets topless

julian kennedy Bloodshed: 8 out of 10: When I discuss no-budget horror films with my friends. (Or the voices in my head) We often sound like those Monty Python coal miners trying to out-do the horrors of each others childhood. "Raptor Island hah I sat through San Franpyscho." "San Franpyscho is an Academy Award picture compared to Dark Harvest 3. Now that's cinematic pain." So I began to question myself on why I would purposely rent such films as Heartstopper or Warriors of Terra when there are plenty of fine Hollywood productions starring Nicholas Cage such as National Treasure or The Wicker Man I could be watching instead.Okay the recent Cage oeuvre may be a very bad example but the question remains why torture myself with what is basically other people's home movies. Bloodshed is the answer to that question.It is one of those rare no-budget films where the acting isn't grating, the script is competent and the direction is actually good. The film even delivers both genuine tension and characters you actually care about.In terms of pacing and characters it handily beats out most Hollywood films let alone most Hollywood horror films. (Before you accuse me of exaggerating please remember that every Adam Sandler comedy is considered a Hollywood film. I'm grading on a curve here people.) Bloodshed is bragging rights, a true gem in a field of….. well incompetent home movies.Is the film perfect? Well no. It is slow to start (this turns into one of it's charms), the sheriff could have been played better and the ending is pretty awful.Overall a good film and considering its genre and budget a very very good film indeed.

miller-23 A bunch of us got together at work and watched Bloodshed and had a blast. It was creepy in parts and kept us shouting out and cracking up. It's a good group movie, because you can shout out funny lines to bust up your crowd in between dialog. Watch out for Jam being passed around and girls remember it's O.K. to flash he boys during the topless scenes.I think it's a decent low-budget horror film, but what's different about it is it's also really funny in spots. Mix that with a little wit from the crowd and it can be hilarious to watch.There were a couple scenes which I thought were great, real gems. I'm not going to give anything away but keep your eyes open for some cool shots.There's something cool about the rawness of it. It's not all "hollywooded up" if you know what I mean.Anyway hope you have as much fun as I did watching it.
