Audience Member Surprisingly good movie showing Harry descent quite rapidly into madness. First he loses his wife, then his job, then events start to happen where his mind slips and he begins to hallucinate and suffer massive delusions. The acting for most of the movie is pretty bad, but the story is quite good, and Raymond Elemendorf really plays distrubing and 'off' quite well. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member An insane man has constant halucinations while holed up in an abandoned hotel. This drags on for over an hour until the guy walks into a coffee shop and kills 35 people with a machine gun. End of film. Roll the credits. Bloody awful. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member One man's decline into madness culminating in a pointless (and seemingly endless) killing spree at a coffee shop. One softball team's post-game celebration is ruined. Pretty much worthless.

Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member "Bloody Wednesday" director Mark G. Gilhuis convincingly bends his mise-en-scene to reflect the increasing derangement and alienation of Harry (Raymond Elmendorf), a mentally ill man who loses his mind after being cooped up in an abandoned hotel by his distracted brother (Navarre Perry): When Harry plays an opulent piano solo at his doctor's (Pamela Baker) house, the edges of the screen darken, forming a spotlight around the maniacal protagonist. Later, when Harry pretends to shoot at a passing jet outside his window with a broomstick, found audio from a World War II film accompanies his grim fantasy. Like Lynch, Cronenberg, Scorsese, and others, Gilhuis delights in keeping the audience off-kilter, constantly leaving us questioning the validity of what we just saw: Much like Harry, who lives in the same daunting, haunting twilight. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member There is one thing to keep in mind while watching this movie: it is a B movie from the 1980's. The plot is fascinating and well paced as we watch a man slowly lose his mind while he talks to a teddy bear and see's ghosts in his brother's hotel. The movie is based on the 1984 massacre in a San Diego McDonalds. That is the end of what I liked about the film. The effects are horrible (remember, b movie) and some of the scares are cheesy and dumb. The acting is a little stale and bland as well (Raymond Elmendorf over acts and acts like he doesn't know how to be afraid). I think some producer should watch this film and hire a director and writer to modernize it because the story has great potential to be a great film. I think someone like Scorsese or Nolan could make a masterpiece out of this and really give the story justice and someone like DiCaprio or Depp could give the character of Harry great depth. They have experience playing troubled characters who drive a film forward. This film had potential, but apparently lacked funding. Redone, this could be the 20teens version of The Shining.
