A vicious killer picks off various young counselors who are reopening a summer camp. Limply directed by Ralph E. Portillo, with a hackneyed and derivative script by John R. Stevenson (said script shamelessly copies "Friday the 13th" right down to the psycho being a third-rate Jason clone who wears a hockey mask and a secondary Crazy Ralph type doomsayer old coot character), zero tension or creepy atmosphere, cardboard and unlikable characters, a generic hum'n'shiver score by Steven M. Stern, poorly staged murder set pieces, a bland soundtrack of forgettable rock songs, a grindingly predictable and unsurprising plot, a painfully plodding pace, crude cinematography by Keith Holland (the primitive use of fades is especially pathetic), an irritating "it ain't over yet!" sequel set-up non-ending, and mostly lackluster acting from a lame no-name cast (Jessica Morris as the annoying Julie 'Jewels' McDonnell in particular contributes a terrible performance, although Crystalle Ford tries hard and rises above the general mediocrity as the sweet and sunny Drew Zembe), this slice'n'dice item quite simply doesn't cut it as a remotely good or worthwhile fright film. The total dearth of any gratuitous female nudity and slight smattering of mild and unconvincing gore adds further abject insult to already appalling injury. A real stinker.

Just a lame Friday the 13th rip off. I mean come on look at it. It's a killer wearing a hockey mask where have I seen that before? Oh yeah from Friday the 13th do we look stupid! Plus it also rips off Halloween with the jump suit the killer wears and not just those 2 movies it also rips off The Texas Chainsaw Massacre cause the killer uses a chainsaw. So that shows you how lame this movie really is because it rips off 3 horror classics. And Friday the 13th ripped off Halloween so Friday the 13th ain't original either. This movie sucked the hard one. I mean come on we have had ENOUGH rip offs of Friday the 13th, Halloween, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, etc. Its funny to see after 20 years after the horror classics were made that they are still ripping them off! Wow! And the ending of this movie made no sense at all! Like when you find out who the killer is! The killer's name even sounds cheesy. Trevor Moorehouse! Wow! Bloody Murder=horrible peace of crap movie

Wow! I just had the misfortune of catching "Bloody Murder" on television, and let me just say it is eighty-two minutes of my life I'm never getting back. I'm in awe of just how terrible this movie is.It is the most shameless "Friday the 13th" knock off I've ever seen. I mean it's bad enough to set another "slasher film" at a camp, but to have the killer wear a hockey mask? That's flat out plagiarism in my book. This film has no redeeming quality whatsoever; the writing is bad, the acting is worse.I cannot believe the overwhelming majority of this picture was filmed in the daylight. Come on guys, everybody knows to film a scary movie at night. The killer looks awkward and hokey, certainly not the least bit intimidating.The only thing more disturbing than the fact "Bloody Murder" was ever made was to see it spawned a sequel. How pathetic is that? I hope this commentary will serve as a warning to anyone "on the fence" about seeing this movie, please for your own sake don't waste your time. Life's too short, go rent the real "Friday the 13th" or better yet go rent "Halloween".

First off, let me make sure you don't confuse this piece of garbage with Scream Bloody Murder( this films original title) with another film of that same name, that came out a couple years later. My review is of the one that has a Jason Vorhees knockoff on the cover. I'm not going to waste to much of my valuable time complaining about this, but have to add it ranks as one of the worst slashers ever. No gore, no nudity, no suspense, this could have been screened in a church, and nobody would've been offended. What draws so much hate from genre fans, is the nerve to have a Jason lookalike on the cover, and not include one small piece, of what fans like myself enjoyed in that series. I'd rather watch Ilsa The Wicked Warden with my ultra conservative Grandmother, then have to bear the torment of watching this putrid piece of garbage again.
