Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

"Blood Cult" opens pretty promising with two pretty gruesome murders within the first 15 minutes. Then it goes into normal slasher fare with none of the later killings being as near as interesting as the first two, all set around what appears to be a 70 something year old Sheriffs investigation (he even narrates some of the film). The later half pretty much turns into a cult conspiracy movie, with the reveal of the killer being handled pretty well since the film doesn't really give you any red herrings. There's a lot of dull dialogue, padding, and bad acting particularly from our sheriff hero, but, it's far from the worst SOV I've ever seen.

A boring flick, that I can tell but with surprisingly good effects. It is really a zero budget filmed in 9 days but why people are hunting this one is that it was the first straight to video flick in the genre. That it was filmed in 9 days shows in the quality of the camera. They didn't use that much extra light because some scene's are a bit too dark, especially the night scene's. But as I said, the effects were done well. Just look at the body being found in a bin or the leg being slashed off. But it's a bit too much blah blah with a lot of hiss and almost no sound in the higher range. Some parts are a bit cheesy for example with the so-called Blood Cult. It's easy to find a copy of this one no on DVD for only a few euro's or dollars. If it wasn't the first straight to vid you would probably never see it again. One to have just to fill into your collection.

In a nutshell some serial killer is avenging the burning of witches by collecting body parts from his victims.This is reportedly the first direct-to-video movie, and it looks it.It seems to have been made with college actors, as they are thoroughly unconvincing when they plead for their lives.The shower scene, a common feature of slasher films shows nothing. We don't even see the girl hacked to dead; just blood splatter. In fact, we never really see the kind of hacking we expect to see in slasher films.It was an interest story, but a poor slasher film.

The makers of this feature strived for the pure art form. If horror was one of the great forms of drama in Shakespeare's time, it would have been Blood Cult! This was what we toiled to achieve. As one of the participants of this fine piece of... piece of work, I must attest to the level of commitment, the craftsmanship, the honed sense of dedication by each and every one of us. If our baby would have been distributed in theaters, we certainly would've been nominated for a few Oscars... wouldn't we have? Don't all of you think that we.. that we would ... have gotten nomin...Does this mean you guys didn't... you didn't like it? How could this possibly be!? But we made a sequel. Didn't that mean it was great? Oh well. Sometimes being bad feels REALLY good! ;)
