It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

There isn't a lot to remember from this run-of-the-mill low-budget slasher. 3 young couples and their douchebag friend intrude a disaffected tower for a night of partying. Unbeknownst to them, a hulking figure haunts the abode with its machete and starts dismembering them one by one.There's no build-up and/or tension. The origins of the killer are mostly unexplored, save for a brief flashback to an asylum escape in the prologue. Though he's big, he's never really menacing and I found his decrepit mother to be a much more interesting foe. Unfortunately, she only intervenes at the the very end of the movie.Slashers all run the same formula and maybe this would have worked with a bigger cast (more deaths = more fun). The only surprise is to be found in the final survivor, who I thought would be the first to be dismissed. And that's a good thing because he's also the cutest.

This movie is stereotypical, cliché, boring as all hell. I would rather watch paint dry then see this again. Every person cast looked at least 30 years old and they were supposed to be under 21. Judging by the dialogue it is ridiculously obvious that this was written by a guy. For crying out loud, what group of females brags about the fact that their clothes won't be on long once getting to a party. Especially considering the fact that they are supposed to be playing teenagers. This movie sucks. Don't watch it because this movie waistes precious time that could be waisted on actual good movies. We hope that the writer never works again.

As the other reviews mentioned, this movie looks scary and intriguing when one glances at the box. But when my friends and I put in this disk, huddled in blankets and ready to be scared to death, we soon realized that there would be no need for any protection, and we even had to turn the volume up so we could hear over our insane laughter. The beginning was a joke - the explicit song playing over a series of repeated clips of the killers feet, then a five - minute opening credits scene consisting of an elevator opening and closing, revealing the names of cast and producers. The camera seemed to be (or was) hand-held, and although this may have been effective in some scenes, it was not for the entire movie. And don't get me started on the janitor scene at the beginning. Did you notice the obvious hosepipe sticking out of the "stump where his arm used to be"? What was supposed to be gore turned into something out of an Itchy and Scrachy cartoon, and the useless "twist?" of an ending had us cracking up for hours. Another thing that had us in hysterics: the use of the word "butt rash" while playing the Ouija board (perhaps they had crossed out "momopoly" and written "Ouija" in glowing letters?). All in all, this film is explicit, rude, but a great laugh if you need cheering up.

*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT* A bunch of teens head to an abandoned tower. They're there to drink, have sex and all around party. What else would teens do in a slasher flick? Speaking of slashers, a large maniac with a leather mask and a big machete follows them there. Soon the tower will become a Tower of Blood. Stupid teens. Always finding ways to upset psychopaths by being alive and having fun."Tower of Blood" plays out exactly as you would imagine. If you have ever seen a slasher movie before, you've already seen this movie. There are three couples and one geek hanging out on the roof of the Tower of Blood. If someone leaves the roof for any reason, kiss them goodbye. The gore effects are at Monty Python level. Large hoses of blood spray the room if someone gets cut. There are also two scenes of naked breasts. Blood. Breasts. It's all here.If you're looking for something different and exciting, don't bother with "Tower of Blood". This is a bare minimum exercise in straight to video slasher film-making. However, if you're a desperate slasher movie fan who will watch anything that has a large psycho with a machete, (like me), it may be worth a look.
