Leave your thoughts about Blood Fest.
| StarburstAndrew MarshallThe frustrating thing about Blood Fest is that it can't seem to decide what kind of film it is. |
| Film ThreatChuck FosterHorror’s goal is simply delivering fun. The thrill of constant frights releases rollercoaster-level endorphins the fans can’t get enough of the rush. Blood Fest shoves it right in our faces and then some. Get ready to bleed. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.At best, it's just lukewarm genre fodder. |
| Film Journal InternationalMaitland McDonaghIt’s clearly meant to be a light romp –a party movie to be enjoyed in group settings—and it is. |
| Dread CentralJonathan BarkanIf you're able to look past [the] flaws, or simply accept them, Blood Fest should certainly please a great many. Played right, it could become the party horror film of the year. |
| Austin ChronicleJenny NulfDirected and written by Austin author and horror enthusiast Owen Egerton (who also stars as the mad filmmaker behind the fest and the blood), the film doesn’t come without its setbacks. It’s a formulaic meta-horror movie that for most of its run time tries too hard, but there’s a sincerity about the movie that keeps it zipping along. |
| Daily DeadPatrick BromleyThis movie wants to be a gory, silly love letter to horror and horror fandom. It wants to be fun, and fun it is. |
| Film InquiryJosh MartinConstantly pointing out what happens in horror movies is not clever. Characters repeatedly saying "This is usually when something bad happens!" is not funny. And having your heroes recognize that they're in a horror movie is not a novel idea. |
| Los Angeles TimesGeoff BerkshireThe ensuing abundant gore is simultaneously gleeful and nonsensical as the filmmakers rope in so many monsters — from seductive vampires to routine zombies to killer clowns — the entire movie becomes literal overkill. |
| Bloody DisgustingTrace ThurmanWatching it, you imagine Egerton and Co. patting themselves on the backs after every take. |
