Synopsis

Laurie and Hugh are a successful young couple who have just closed on a weekend home away from the city. Unbeknownst to them, the neighboring property contains the crumbling remains of a boarding school that was shuttered in the wake of an unspeakable massacre. The sole survivor of that massacre still resides in the ruins of the school, hiding from the world and wanting only to be left alone. When Laurie and Hugh's friends explore the property, they have no idea that they disturbed an emotionally-broken killing machine: The Blood Widow.

Steineded How sad is this?
Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
bobbynitefall I can not tell you what happens in this movie because according to my video player, I only made it through about 6 agonizing minutes of really bad sound editing before I had to stop.When one person is talking, it sounds like a proper movie, when another is talking in the same scene, it has a really annoying buzz like they used an old, old camera that used film and you could hear the belts driving it.It made it sound like a student production (Jr. to High school...not even college). The video was harsh but acceptable.I hope some of you with bad hearing made it all the way through. I just could NOT handle it.
snobrdchic My 14 year old and I found the only thing entertaining about this movie was laughing at the terrible acting. The only thing good about it was the villain. She could have been SO scary. That mask was my motivation for renting the film. There was little to no suspense. The gore was over the top. I could have forgiven that for the movie style had any other portion been good but it wasn't. And most importantly the story just didn't quite make sense. Then I thought there was going to be some reveal at the end, but nope still confused. Did I mention the acting was TERRIBLE? Total waste of one of the most awesome creepy face masks I've seen in forever.
Paul Magne Haakonsen "Blood Widow" is not amongst the top of the line as far as slasher horror movies goes. Why? Well, because the storyline was really unconvincing and was bordering on being downright ridiculous.The storyline is about a couple buying a house on a secluded location, with an abandoned house on the adjacent lot. But the allegedly abandoned house is harboring a deadly secret. And when party-goers from the newly-bought house venture across the threshold, they unleash a silent killer.That was basically it for the storyline. There is very little else offered to the storyline throughout the entire movie, except for some vague hints at what happened in the abandoned house, leaving more questions open than giving answers.The acting was adequate, but the actors and actresses had a poor script to work with, and that showed on the final result on the screen. And the characters in the movie go a long way to show a new level of stupidity and totally out-of-tune behavior if one's life was threatened by a mysterious killer.The two things that worked for the movie was the music and score which was nicely scored and composed by John Czaban. And the second thing that worked in favor of the movie was the killer herself; enter the Blood Widow. The appearance and outfit was really stunning and worked out quite nicely. While it is no Jason Voorhees, Blood Widow wore her mask quite well.Most of the death scenes were just not working out too well. Especially because the Blood Widow had absolutely no problem decapitating people in a single thrust with her weapons. While it was good enough a kill on the movie, it was just not believable in any way that a woman of such small build and physique would be able to achieve such a thing.Oh, and before I forget, then I will say that the camera work and editing was actually quite good, and was also a key ingredient to keep the audience's attention throughout the course of an otherwise below average horror movie.Effects-wise, then "Blood Widow" was good enough. Don't expect a massive special effects galore here, though. The effects that were in the movie, however, were nicely executed and looked realistic.Overall, then "Blood Widow" is a poor experience, especially if you are as seasoned to horror and slasher movies as I am. And as such, then the movie manages to scape up a mere 3 out of 10 stars from me. The story needed more of a solid and thoroughly followed through storyline, which would have improved the enjoyment tremendously.
Shawn Stetsko While this movie had more budget than many of the recent movies (especially the found footage movies) usually do, and thus could have had some benefit from that, I can honestly say that it was money well wasted. The acting is some of the worst I have ever seen, the characters epitomize flat, the premise is weak and given no real development, and the building of suspense is nonexistent. The gore is amateur and funny at best-- but not really funny in a good way. What makes it worse is just how terrible the characters are... for a bunch of successful young adults to just arbitrarily decide, without a second thought, to go onto private property and absentmindedly vandalize a home, even if abandoned, is absurd... it is like the story is written by a barely pubescent teen imagining what adults would do, and things just go downhill from there(note this is not really a spoiler, it happens almost immediately and is not really any more important than anything else in this sad charade of a plot). Of course, as always, watch it if you want to. It is not the very worst movie I have seen by any means, but it comes close, and given the variety of better options out there (including the option of replaying something you have seen before but enjoyed) you might save yourself some time and skip this poor attempt at a slasher flick.
