Scream Bloody Murder

Our "starlets" are all cuties in the extreme (Shay, whatta doll!), our plot is rather weak and transparent, our effects are rather on the cheesy side, but hey, a buncha incredibly cliched schoolgirls are on their way to the "big dance", their van breaks down, and mayhem ensues. Lotsa exploitive laughs, no real skin, some cheesy girl on girl action, and we have a halfbaked, but darn tootin' funny flick. Highlights include the actress playing Parker, who is far and away the best thing talent wise here, our hick rescuer who exudes some rather goofy charm in his bumbling, and our innocent Shay, who looks like an escapee from the Facts of Life, but is charming nonetheless. Our lowlights include badgirl Star, sluttygirl Honey, and the driver who you were rooting for to be an early victim. If you watch with your tongue firmly in cheek, you'll enjoy it, if you have high hopes of a great thriller, you're gonna be sooooo disappointed.

well, i was tempted by this film as the cover promoted, in equal measures, chainsaws and schoolgirls. what a major disappointment followed such promise.

this is either some sort of student film or one big "in-joke" that only a select few are in on, one of which i am not. the dreary plot, that of a bus breaking down in the middle of nowhere and the passengers being killed one by one, is as long in the tooth as the majority of the schoolgirls here.

it gets a three as there are two rather witty deaths, ones that i have not seen in any other film franchise, but even then they are not as spectacular as they could have been.

and the chainsaw on the cover that tempted me? it has a blade as long as a conventional pencil, and does not get used on anything or, more to the point for the intended market, anyone.

people who harbour a desire to make films one day should watch this just to see how not to do it. everyone else should give it a miss.

A vanload of female students breaks down in the middle of absolutely nowhere. Luckily, a helpful hillbilly shows up with his tow truck. The vulnerable young girls are whisked back to the "End Of The Road" garage and salvage yard where things spiral hopelessly out of control.

SCREAM BLOODY MURDER is a non-scary, somewhat humorous horror movie parody that hits as much as it misses. When compared with other, far more expensive productions featuring similar subject matter, it's actually not too bad.

Is it dumb? Yes, but at least it seems to know how dumb it is, while making the most of its microscopic budget...

Terrible, terrible, terrible.

I can appreciate a good spoof, but this movie had me wincing all the way through. I'm 20 years old and I've done more professional stuff than this. Out-of-focus shots, too dark at times, terrible sound in some scenes and a REALLY annoying shifting white-balance (which means the image will change tones from one shot angle to another).

The whole thing was filmed by handycam and looked like a porno, from the costumes, to the actresses, to the plot. Scream Bloody Murder is a porn movie minus the actual porn!

The story was ridiculous and the ending downright stupid and nonsensical. I usually can appreciate a stupid-fun movie, but this is just way too horrible. Thank God I got to rent this for free.

2 out of 10! And that's on the strength of the uniforms alone ;).

I don't know what's gotten into my wife lately. When we first got married, she didn't like me working with other girls, didn't like it when women were naked on TV, and hated the exploitation movies I rented. Then in the past couple of months, we went out with a group of friends and she thought it would be fun for us all to go to the local strip joint (she even through dollars at the stage), she's been nice and laid back in the evenings when it comes to sleazy TV, and she rented this movie and brought it home! It was awesome!

This movie is pure cheese and it maintains a certain sexuality level without going overboard. It's funny stuff with some creative death scenes, and one hell of a twist ending. While I must admit, some of the padding at the beginning of the movie made me wonder what I was getting into, by the end of the movie I was glad I'd watched.

If you rent the DVD, DO NOT watch the trailer for the movie included in the menu before you see the movie. Not only does it show each death scene -- it also gives away the numerous twists at the end! Beware!

Great cast, fun movie. Go check it out!
