Blood Widow (2014)
3/10
Please buy a boom mic before making a movie.

I watch a ton of movies, so a lot of them end up being low budget horror films. That said I am used to sub-par acting, and scripts with plot holes. This movie was not as bad as many others I have watched and not as bad as some other reviewers are saying.

Most of my problems with this movie are of the technical variety. First the camera person had focusing problems especially early in the film.It was as if he was using the camera for the very first time. The biggest problem in the movie though is the sound. It seemed like the only mic used was the one built into the camera. This results in barely being able to hear quite a bit of the dialog, especially if the actor was either facing away or was further away from the camera. This was a big factor in characters feeling flat. Other sounds such as doors were muted.

Bottom line the movie itself wasn't that bad but the audio was so frustrating that it made the movie seem much worse than it really was. If you can deal with the audio you might like this, otherwise skip this one.
