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. The sole survivor of that massacre still resides in the ruins of the school, hiding from the world and wanting only to be left alone. When Laurie and Hugh's friends explore the property, they have no idea that they disturbed an emotionally-broken killing machine: The Blood Widow.

Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
quincytheodore This is what happens when a movie's good point consists entirely on one decent villain concept while other aspects are ridiculously abysmal. Blood Widow has one of the worst acting, foul production and misguided use of gore that ever shamed the horror genre. It's literally like Japanese B-movie gorefest you've never heard about, but at least that is built on quirky premise while Blood Widow is an actual miserable horror.The lead characters find themselves at strange location where past tragedy happened. Following barren story line where a strange antagonist still survives like many other horror movies after Texas Chainsaw Massacre, this movie falls in every turn. The most decent parts are the villain who looks quite menacing and a couple of gore, but even those appear underwhelming.It has cardboard acting as though the actors were sedated just before filming and took the scenes while walking on mental limbo. There are some moments that feel like they are trying to sabotage their own movie, yet not even intentionally bad performance can be this bad.Visual is too dark most of the times, which leaves the audience wondering if this is shot with broken camera. Audio fares worse as the sound suddenly spikes in volume after several minutes of muffled voice. Obviously, there's no cinematography or choreography here, instead of that the movie sprays blood hoping it would resemble thrill.Perilous to your money and time, just avoid Blood Widow or take a glimpse on the poster, which is given more investment than the actual movie itself.
victorseay No spoilers could spoil this spoiled mess that is supposed to be a movie! Looks like a film school project! Makes The Blair Witch Project look like an Oscar winner!! The ONLY reason I kept watching this was in hopes of seeing the absolutely smoking hot Danielle Lilley get naked.....and that didn't even happen!! Unless you are having a Absolutely No Good Horrible movie marathon night with friends or are dying for a terrible tease....AVOID THIS STINKER!!! But if you are in the market for something you can play MST3000 on or something to go with say "Plan 9 From Outer Space"....then this is the "movie" for you!! Luckily I got this one for free....and it was about worth what it cost!! Am I over the top or what?
Paul Magne Haakonsen "Blood Widow" is not amongst the top of the line as far as slasher horror movies goes. Why? Well, because the storyline was really unconvincing and was bordering on being downright ridiculous.The storyline is about a couple buying a house on a secluded location, with an abandoned house on the adjacent lot. But the allegedly abandoned house is harboring a deadly secret. And when party-goers from the newly-bought house venture across the threshold, they unleash a silent killer.That was basically it for the storyline. There is very little else offered to the storyline throughout the entire movie, except for some vague hints at what happened in the abandoned house, leaving more questions open than giving answers.The acting was adequate, but the actors and actresses had a poor script to work with, and that showed on the final result on the screen. And the characters in the movie go a long way to show a new level of stupidity and totally out-of-tune behavior if one's life was threatened by a mysterious killer.The two things that worked for the movie was the music and score which was nicely scored and composed by John Czaban. And the second thing that worked in favor of the movie was the killer herself; enter the Blood Widow. The appearance and outfit was really stunning and worked out quite nicely. While it is no Jason Voorhees, Blood Widow wore her mask quite well.Most of the death scenes were just not working out too well. Especially because the Blood Widow had absolutely no problem decapitating people in a single thrust with her weapons. While it was good enough a kill on the movie, it was just not believable in any way that a woman of such small build and physique would be able to achieve such a thing.Oh, and before I forget, then I will say that the camera work and editing was actually quite good, and was also a key ingredient to keep the audience's attention throughout the course of an otherwise below average horror movie.Effects-wise, then "Blood Widow" was good enough. Don't expect a massive special effects galore here, though. The effects that were in the movie, however, were nicely executed and looked realistic.Overall, then "Blood Widow" is a poor experience, especially if you are as seasoned to horror and slasher movies as I am. And as such, then the movie manages to scape up a mere 3 out of 10 stars from me. The story needed more of a solid and thoroughly followed through storyline, which would have improved the enjoyment tremendously.
Shawn Stetsko While this movie had more budget than many of the recent movies (especially the found footage movies) usually do, and thus could have had some benefit from that, I can honestly say that it was money well wasted. The acting is some of the worst I have ever seen, the characters epitomize flat, the premise is weak and given no real development, and the building of suspense is nonexistent. The gore is amateur and funny at best-- but not really funny in a good way. What makes it worse is just how terrible the characters are... for a bunch of successful young adults to just arbitrarily decide, without a second thought, to go onto private property and absentmindedly vandalize a home, even if abandoned, is absurd... it is like the story is written by a barely pubescent teen imagining what adults would do, and things just go downhill from there(note this is not really a spoiler, it happens almost immediately and is not really any more important than anything else in this sad charade of a plot). Of course, as always, watch it if you want to. It is not the very worst movie I have seen by any means, but it comes close, and given the variety of better options out there (including the option of replaying something you have seen before but enjoyed) you might save yourself some time and skip this poor attempt at a slasher flick.
