It’s safe to say I’ve been on a roll recently when it comes to direct to DVD horror titles. Some really great films are hitting disc and digital formats that really deserve to be seen above a lot of the so-called horror dross that clogs up multiplexes everywhere. This time round I’m checking out another slasher movie from Midnight Releasing, who recent put out another 80s-flavoured slasher, Axeman.
After buying a nice house in the country, Laurie and Hugh, a successful young couple, throw a party for their friends. During the wild night a few friends decide to explore the abandoned and decaying boarding school next door, only to wake an emotionally broken killer, the titular Blood Widow…...

Laurie and Hugh are a successful young couple who have just closed on a weekend home away from the city. Unbeknownst to them, the neighboring property contains the crumbling remains of a boarding school that was shuttered in the wake of an unspeakable massacre.
A slasher film is like fast food. You know what you’re ordering – it’s grubby, probably not all that good for you in the long run but hell, it’s a quick fix for the appetite and most times, it’s usually pretty tasty and fun. Blood Widow falls under this category of – dare I say it – fast-food-horror as you step into the world of this film with certain expectations and it delivers brisk and bloody fun that was entertaining escapism for the duration of its running time.

*full disclosure: an online screener of this film was provided by Phase 4 films. Director: Jeremiah Buckhalt. Writers: Chad Coup and Ian H. Davis. Cast: Danielle Lilley, Brandon Kyle Peters, Christopher de Padua and Jose Miguel Vasquez. Blood Widow is an indie slasher film, from first time director Jeremiah Buckhalt and distributor Midnight Releasing. The film's villain is based on Buckhalt's sketches and storyboards. And, Buckhalt's villain, the Blood Widow, is truly a vicious killer. Unfortunately, this character and others only get surface treatment, in the story department. Also, this horror feature hosts some Adr and weak acting and interactions. Still, there are positives here: a moody tone, interesting lighting and blood effects. Blood Widow is an above average slasher and the visual display here will keep most horror fans interested. The story is a little on the sparse side. But, Laurie (Danielle Lilley) and Hugh (Brandon Kyle Peters), a young couple,...

We don't go nuts and fire up the Dread Central media machine for every trailer that comes our way. But (and here's a hint to filmmakers) when we see one featuring a killer in a disturbing looking drama mask, slutty hot chicks, and a guy getting his face basically torn off, we tend to take notice. Blood Widow is an upcoming indie horror film that promises to go old school for us. And isn't that how we like it?
The film was directed by Jeremiah Buckhalt and stars Danielle Lilley, Gabrielle Henry, Brandon Kyle Peters, Kelly Kilgore, Jose Miguel Vasquez, Christopher de Padua, Emily Cutting and Philip Marunowski. You can check out the new teaser trailer below and poke around the Blood Widow website for more info.
