Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

mrush I'm not sure why movies like this keep popping up---low budget pieces of crap shot with one shaky camera.Independent films are one thing but just because you've got a camcorder doesn't mean you need to make the movie you've always dreamed about.Two backwoods brothers living in a secluded run down old farm house just want to be left alone but some town smart alecks just can't leave well enough alone.After one of the brothers chases the town slut through the woods and she falls and implausibly kills herself on a stick their isolated life quickly spirals out of control.The script is terrible ,the acting is cardboard and the special effects are neither special nor effective.This movie reminds me of looking at someone else's vacation pictures....it may have been fun for those involved but it is sheer torture for anyone else to have to see.There is nothing much else to say about this mess except it is another homemade piece of drivel ,made by people with no talent for movie-making, that today's technology has made all too easy to churn out.Sometimes bringing too much technology to the masses can be a bad thing,as the recent explosion in the ability to produce home made horror films should attest.Get a camera ,some fake blood,a couple of chicks willing to show their milk bags,maybe an axe or two and an old rundown house and you too can make your very own horror movie.Then after you make your movie keep it at home where you can proudly show it to family and friends and any one else who unwittingly wanders by but never, ever,under any circumstance ,put it out on DVD for commercial release.Like scrap booking and knitting,the results of your homemade movie making should be solely for your own personal enjoyment.

capoazzurro I rented this movie at my videostore, because the cover caught my attention, the resume on the back sounded interesting and the average rating at IMDb indicated, that it could be a hidden gem for friends of the horror genre. Well, now I just watched this movie, and it didn't hold anything it promised...the story is weak, the characters stupid, not sympathetic at all and for that reason not to identify with at all. The photography of this flick is really amateur-stylish, but not in an innovative and thus good style, but just looks amateurish cheap. The directing is poor and so are the actors, who act all too wooden by one exception (the sheriff). At all this is a movie to forget about, and I definitely will.

julian kennedy Bloodshed: 8 out of 10: When I discuss no-budget horror films with my friends. (Or the voices in my head) We often sound like those Monty Python coal miners trying to out-do the horrors of each others childhood. "Raptor Island hah I sat through San Franpyscho." "San Franpyscho is an Academy Award picture compared to Dark Harvest 3. Now that's cinematic pain." So I began to question myself on why I would purposely rent such films as Heartstopper or Warriors of Terra when there are plenty of fine Hollywood productions starring Nicholas Cage such as National Treasure or The Wicker Man I could be watching instead.Okay the recent Cage oeuvre may be a very bad example but the question remains why torture myself with what is basically other people's home movies. Bloodshed is the answer to that question.It is one of those rare no-budget films where the acting isn't grating, the script is competent and the direction is actually good. The film even delivers both genuine tension and characters you actually care about.In terms of pacing and characters it handily beats out most Hollywood films let alone most Hollywood horror films. (Before you accuse me of exaggerating please remember that every Adam Sandler comedy is considered a Hollywood film. I'm grading on a curve here people.) Bloodshed is bragging rights, a true gem in a field of….. well incompetent home movies.Is the film perfect? Well no. It is slow to start (this turns into one of it's charms), the sheriff could have been played better and the ending is pretty awful.Overall a good film and considering its genre and budget a very very good film indeed.

miller-23 A bunch of us got together at work and watched Bloodshed and had a blast. It was creepy in parts and kept us shouting out and cracking up. It's a good group movie, because you can shout out funny lines to bust up your crowd in between dialog. Watch out for Jam being passed around and girls remember it's O.K. to flash he boys during the topless scenes.I think it's a decent low-budget horror film, but what's different about it is it's also really funny in spots. Mix that with a little wit from the crowd and it can be hilarious to watch.There were a couple scenes which I thought were great, real gems. I'm not going to give anything away but keep your eyes open for some cool shots.There's something cool about the rawness of it. It's not all "hollywooded up" if you know what I mean.Anyway hope you have as much fun as I did watching it.
