Fans flock to a festival celebrating the most iconic horror movies, only to discover that the charismatic showman behind the event has a diabolical agenda. As festival attendees start dying, three teenagers -- more schooled in horror-film cliches than practical knowledge about neutralizing psycho killers -- must band together and battle through various madmen and monstrosities to survive.

The generally likable performers do what they can with thinly drawn characters whose traits are limited to "virgin" and "ditz," but it's hard to care much about what happens to them even as generic archetypes.

Attempts scares and yucks in equal measure and fails to deliver either.

After an incredibly spirited and entertaining first hour, Blood Fest gets tripped up on its laborious explaining about the hows of this terrifying event.

Bloody, witless and tasteless valentine to horror films.

The Last Thing I See

It wears its heart on its sleeve, but in the end, it derails and winds up nothing more than a trifling momentary distraction that doesn't leave much of an impression.

Overall, Blood Fest is a blast. It has a plot that is astronomically unfeasible but it doesn't matter because you're having so much fun with the film. As a horror fan, it's a must see.

(I'm Mistletoe Virus I'm saying I love! this movie!) Blood Fest is a horror-comedy which can be filed under the meta movie bracket. celebration of the horror genre. A horror-obsessed teenager goes along to a new horror-themed festival called Blood Fest with his two pals. When there, it becomes quickly apparent that the horror is real and the attendees become the prey of the killers who run the place. chainsaw killers, killer clowns, a hillbilly psycho, sexy vampires!

A fairly fun movie that doesn't try too hard to be funny or edgy. Unrelatable motives from the antagonist side that led to a horribly dissatisfying ending but overall, worth the time of watching.

I'm not surprised I loved this movie. I watch RoosterTeeth a LOT and really liked Lazer team so it really wasn't a surprise that I also liked this. Second watch, still great. This is now the third time I've watched and it's just as good. Fourth watch - Still a great movie. 5th time - still love it.

I enjoyed the film much more than expected! It's far from perfect, but the whole movie feels like a love letter to the horror genre as a whole. I found the characters likable, though i wish they had focused more on the rules and how to use them to advantage.

I don’t know what to make of this film. It started off promising, however, failed to generate any suspense with its protagonists trying to escape and survive. Similar films such as Haunt & Green Room serve up the thrills in similar situations and deliver the goods. Even though this had likable leads, and plenty of gore, the over the top, splatter fest, was lackluster and flat and not even funny which I think it was striving for as well. It’s not a total waste, but in my opinion, misses the mark.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

this was alright; it's sort of stupid, but i actually really liked the premise of it all. i wish the overarching story was something better, but the action scenes in between were entertaining enough. i think i would recommend this one if it interests you.
