The Bloody Man

I stumbled upon the 2020 movie "The Bloody Man" here in 2022 by sheer random luck. And seeing it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I had to sit down and watch it. And I have to say that the movie's cover/poster was definitely also something that caught my attention. Well, if I had known that "The Bloody Man" was more of a family horror movie, and not an outright horror movie, then perhaps I wouldn't have been thus thrilled to get to watch it. This movie is not a scary movie, not even by a long shot. This is a type of 'horror' movie that even children can sit down and watch with the rest of the family. The storyline in "The Bloody Man" was pretty straight forward, so writers Daniel Benedict and Casi Clark didn't exactly bring anything new or revolutionary to the table. In fact, they didn't really bring much of anything to the table. Sure, the movie can be watched, but this movie is generic and predictable. And the narrative was somewhat slow and uneventful actually. The movie would have been a more enjoyable experience if they had actually found a wholesome cast that were able to put on believable and convincing performances. Now, I am not saying that all members of the cast were putting on wooden, rigid performances, but a great deal were doing exactly that. And those wooden performances were overshadowing the other performances, dragging them down with them. A shame really. "The Bloody Man" was a swing and a miss in terms of entertaining me. Had I perhaps known it to be a family horror movie, then I could have sat down with that particular mindset, and done so together with my family as well. So no, "The Bloody Man" didn't provide me with much of any entertainment. My rating of "The Bloody Man" lands on a three out of ten stars.

I'm so excited; I now have a NEW entry in my "worst ever" movies list! "The Bloody Man" has to be one of the WORST pieces of junk you'll ever see. It is mind-numbingly boring and it lasts well over TWO HOURS!! Don't be fooled by promotion photos displaying this horrifying image because you'll never see this image in this movie. The acting is so horribly, the dialogue so stilted, the script (if you can call it that) is all over the place, and it looks like they cast a 14 year old to play the part of a child in kindergarten! This is one of very few movies that I would give ZERO stars if that were an option. Stay far, far away from this old mess.

.... or some such religious cult type message dealt to the audience wrapped in a horror movie, that isn't all that good. Seriously: Davey and Goliath was the first thing I thought of while trying to watch this, only because the actors seemed like they were calymation puppets, but with half the talent. Mix that in with references to religious comic book characters, and it pretty well sums up who the target audience is for this. The props/wardrobe department did the best they could, but probably worked with the same budget that hired the actors. There are no fixes for this movie without cremating it, and starting from scratch. If you intend on keeping with the religious message from the first attempt, I'm just not the audience you're looking for.

Another " in the 1980's" post Stranger Things wanna be "movie" that looks more like a student film shot on cheap video with amateur actors and a script so bad no one else than the writer himself would have shot it. Don't get fooled by the early fake 10/10 reviews, this one is the pit.

This is a very strange mix of part 80s nostalgia, part singular slow burn narrative, part anthology stories scattered throughout, part horror, part campy. I was so confused, lol, but it wasn't all together unredeemable. The editing was pretty bad though which the film suffered for - too many weird silent gaps in between beats which slowed down the pacing to a distracting level. It was a lot of fun to see Lisa Wilcox and Tuesday Knight both from 'A Nightmare on Elm Street 4' work together again in the same film. The script may have benefited from having 40 minutes taken out of it. Regardless of the criticisms there was something fun and enjoyably stupid about this film.

Just not in a very well-done way. I get the whole 80's vibe, it's just too slow and boring. The family drama and dynamics was fine and not badly done. I liked the little short stories the kids told. The reason this failed is really because of the chosen boogeyman. The Bloody Man wasn't scary, he was an annoying protagonist at best. Like the silly chucky doll, only without any backstory, motives, funny moments, or interesting lines. Just a bald guy bleeding from his head at random times, that was menacing-ish.

I watched this at Horrorhound this weekend. The movie was fantastic. Loved the 80s horror feel that it gave off. The cast did great. Being that im a huge fan of Tuesday Knight and Lisa Wilcox, and anything that they are in. They both played great roles. Tuesday as the stepmom, she did a great job. The bed scene was she was so sweet and caring then turned evil had me loving it then her getting clocked by Barbarian Man then playing good and evil and fighting herself was a great scene. Lisa I wished had more scene time but with the character she portrayed i get it but she always does hands down amazing work in anything that she has played in. I recommend seeing this movie if your into the 80s horror vibe.

Budget film not even worth watching it's painful. Can't believe this got 6 stars! If I could give this 0 I would. They should be paying me for wasting my time with this.

The whole point of the movie is that it's set in the 80s, I wasn't even born in the 80s but I still like the nostalgic feeling to it, that being said I can see that they were aiming to be in that time period. As for the acting. I think its honestly on point, same with the picture, and the effects. I've watched movies from that actual time period and arguably they're like this movie, so I don't get why people rated it so low? Troll 2 for example had the same acting or bit worse was set, during the ACTUAL time period lol even movies that I loved like Friday the 13th was also the same...8/10 honestly.

Fun and nostalgic movie with a scary twist! The Bloody Man is set in the 1980's and does an excellent job in portraying that era! The film is centered around a young teenage boy named Sam, who's family has been struck with tragedy! However there's more than meets the eye, as Sam and his siblings discover a dark secret lurking in the shadows that seeks to tear their family apart!... Overall, a very fun watch filled with quirky and entertaining characters. Another noteworthy mention are a few of the films feature talents Tuesday Knight and Lisa Wilcox from Nightmare on Elm Street parts 4 and 5!.. If I had to rate this film, I'd say it's a PG 13 family worthy feature. Use parental caution for younger kids who may be sensitive to some blood and minor gore.
