THE IMPORTANT CINEMA CLUB’S SUPER SCARY MOVIE CHALLENGE DAY 17: Bloody Murder (2000)

October 17: A Horror Film That Takes Place During a Camping Trip

Julie McConnell (Jessica Morris), Jason Hathaway (Justin Ross Martin), Dean (Michael Stone), Whitney Chambers (Tracy Pacheco), Brad Thomson (David Smigelski) and Tobe (Patrick Cavanaugh) are working this summer at Camp Placid Pines for Patrick (Peter Guillemette), despite killings by Trevor Moorehouse in the past and a warning a strange man — as is always the way — named Henry (Bobby Stuart).

A game of Bloody Murder ends with Jason dressing as Trevor Moorehouse and hurting Brad, but Dean is the one he really destroys when his best friend discovers that he’s getting with his ex Whitney. Soon, everyone is either getting killed by the masked killer or they’re being accused of his crimes.

In case you wondered, does a movie that has a hockey masked killer at a camp have anything new to say about the slasher film, the answer is in no way possible. Bloody Murder Directed by Ralph E. Portillo, who also made Malibu Summer, this film looks ugly, has nothing to add or appear to have learned anything from any of the films made before it and is pretty much a Crystal Lake movie except that there’s no way they were getting the license. There’s a sequel and I know that I’ll watch it because I’m odd like that.

You can watch this on Tubi.
