Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

rohanm546 One of the worst ever horror movie from the 80s which i saw. Mind me if u don't want to waste u r precious 1 hr 15 mins. Please do not watch this movie. Only starting scene was bit good. Rest all the movie is a trash. Waste of time. What was happening in the entire movie i never understood. A old man roaming around the cinema hall with a knife & stabbing people without any reason. Didn't got the movie at all. A perfect B grade movie with a worst cast. There are much more & good options to watch if u want to watch 80s horror movies.

Michael_Elliott Movie House Massacre (1984)* (out of 4) Three college students are asked to clean up an old movie theatre so that it can open back up. It doesn't take long for the three to regret taking the job.This forgotten film is out there under a couple different titles including the catchy MOVIE HOUSE MASSACRE as well as the better known BLOOD THEATRE. No matter what you call it, it's doubtful that you're going to be overly entertained by this thing, which tries to put the slasher genre inside an old theatre. Obviously one will think of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA but sadly there's just not too much going on here.The biggest problem is that there are some really bad performances, not enough violence and what violence there is all happens off screen. For a horror movie, even by 1984 standards, this here is rather lame as it just doesn't feature enough to keep the viewer entertained. There are a couple quick shots of nudity but that's about it. The story has a few interesting ideas and a better screenplay would have helped but sadly there's just not enough going on here to make it worth watching.

Woodyanders A movie theater with a bad history of past gruesome murders reopens. Of course, the bloody killings start anew. Written, directed, shot, scored and edited with an appalling lack of flair and finesse by the singularly talentless Rick Sloane (who later disgraced celluloid some more with the absolutely atrocious "Hobgoblins"), this horrendously ham-fisted attempt at a slasher spoof strikes out something rotten in every conceivable way: the excruciatingly lethargic pacing, the painfully static, grainy cinematography (there's a stinky surplus of drab master shots featured throughout), an annoyingly droning and redundant hum'n'shiver synthesizer score, the flat (non)direction, a tediously talky and uneventful script, the groan-inducing sophomoric sense of lowbrow humor, the bloodless murder set pieces, a pitifully unscary killer (he's just some wrinkled-up old guy in pasty make-up), the uniformly obnoxious and unappealing characters, a dissatisfyingly abrupt ending, and lifeless performances from a noticeably uninspired cast all ensure that watching this schlocky swill is about as fun and rewarding as eating rancid raw eels drenched with sour vinegar. This crud totally lacks the necessary crude charm and sleazy vigor required to be enjoyable junk. Instead it's just a bland, plodding and meandering stiff that never catches fire or becomes even remotely amusing in a so-shoddy-it's-smoking sort of way. Only a smidgen of nudity and the delightful presence of the always dependable Mary Woronov as a snarky, sardonic secretary provide a little relief from the overall crumminess of this lousy loser.

h8prodbiz To truly appreciate this film you had to be there (acting?) or have been a crew member.Yes, I am "Selena", and at the ripe old age of 42, have serious doubts about what we were doing/did.It all started out to be like a "John Waters" type thing, friends acting badly in bad films. Somewhere along the line,the fun discontinued, people who were supposed to be friends didn't speak anymore, and BAD became worse.I regret the bad image I might have projected.(Try to fit in size one gold spandex pants,)Other than that, the film SUCKS so badly, I would not even make my mama watch it.To my director, cast and crew I say,"Why can't we just all get along??It's been OVER TWENTY YEARS, PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
