Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Very Cool!!!

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

In the UK, and probably further afield, Kim Newman is known as an expert on the horror/slasher genre. His book 'Nightmare Movies' is a classic. And his video dungeon column in Empire magazine has pointed me in the direction of many films I would have missed. I trust his judgement implicitly.Unfortunately this month he (sort of) praised this film, although admittedly it was in comparison to another. Sorry Kim, but I didn't get the point of this film at all.It was played straight, it wasn't a parody of 80s slashers although it freely stole the clichés of movies of the era, it didn't have any twist on the subject, so why would anyone want to see a bad 80s film made in 2012? There has been a defence of this film on the basis that the victims were sympathetic and not a**holes you want to see killed. But when the acting is this bad, every character in it lived way too long for my liking.Decent whodunnit? I don't think so. You'll know early on, even though a proper whodunnit requires at least enough clues to make an educated guess.I'm giving it 2/10 only because I can never give a 1.

I watched this "horror" and it was more comedy (it is not meant to be) so i was so exited to watch it because of the 10/10 rating and the good sounding description so when i saw it i was amazed by the really bad acting and the comedy ! i do not recommend watching this as it will waste one hour and a half of your time so if your a horror lover and not so keen on comedy THIS IS NOT THE FILM FOR U! like one time the killer was dragging a boy down the hall and a girl came out and went "oh hes dragging my boyfriend down the hall!!" its so ridiculous i rate it a 1/10 because thats the lowest u can give it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When a group of friends get denied access to their Freshmen homecoming by a group of older students, they decide to throw their own party. However, when the football star, of the group, Billy, tries to attack one of the girls, the friends lock him up in a closet where is he accidentally killed in a fire. Three years later after two banned Homecomings, the friends are now seniors and the return of Homecoming has arrived. But someone is trying to crash the celebration. The friend's receive threatening messages in their lockers believing it's sick joke. But on Homecoming night, the friends find themselves being stalked and slayed by someone wearing a fireman's outfit. Is Billy back for revenge? And who will survive this Bloody Homecoming?Bloody Homecoming is a very fun 80s style slasher that many slasher fans (myself included) has desired. This is the film the Prom Night remake should have been. We are given a group of characters that are very funny and likable. Especially Jaclyn played by Randi Lamey, Jaclyn is the one with the sharp tongue and not afraid to step up to the plate. We are also given Wade, the lovable and funny gay character played by Branden Lee Roth. And although he is not one of the leads, we get a few comical moments from Janitor Fred played by Jim Tavare. Finally, we have our Final Girl, Loren, played by Lexi Giovagnoli. She's the kind-hearted character who's the friend to everyone. While Loren is very likable, she's really not given much to do when it comes to the final act. Along with our likable cast, we have some very nice kills and plenty of blood. To top it all off we have a couple of good chase scenes (let's face it, many slashers severely lack them these days). Bloody Homecoming resembles some classic 80s slasher films like Prom Night, Happy Birthday to Me, House on Sorority Row, and My Bloody Valentine. We have the over-the-top acting, gnarly kills, the "back for revenge" subplot, and a very hysterical final act when the killer is revealed. If you miss what a true slasher really is that is all about fun rather than just gore, Bloody Homecoming is highly recommended.My rating: 9/10

Let's admit one thing going into this review. There's really nowhere new to go when it comes to the slasher genre. Anything you can think of has been done before. All we can hope for now is that the person making a new entry into the genre is skilled or dedicated enough to come up with something utilizing all the clichés we've all seen before but in a different way. I try to keep all this in mind whenever I receive the latest slice-and-dice film in the mail."Bloody Homecoming" from Image Entertainment is the latest slasher film I was sent for review. All I could think about when gazing on the cover was, "Here's someone trying to do 'Prom Night' again." The cover featuring a girl in a homecoming dress holding a bloody tiara did bring a smile to my face and I found myself nostalgically looking forward to watching the movie.A high school prank leaves the star football player locked in a closet of a building that catches on fire. Three years after his death at the Homecoming event, the students responsible for the tragic joke receive letters written in blood in their lockers. The appearance of the notes coincide with the first homecoming dance since the accident. One by one, the students are picked off by a killer dressed in a fireman's suit wielding a spirit baton whittled down on one end into a spear."Bloody Homecoming" is not a good movie if what you're expecting is Oscar-worthy performances and an emotionally gripping story that will leave audiences in tears. What we do get is a rather effective homage to the great slasher films of the 1980s. It's the sort of movie that leaves you smiling because all the right ingredients are in place and they're working.Some of the success at being entertaining comes from the fact that the cast is a bunch of unknowns who we know aren't being exploited for what they've been in before. This isn't "Prom Night" starring the latest greatest cast members from hit teen TV shows like "Pretty Little Liars," "DeGrassi," and "Switched at Birth" in an attempt for a quick cash grab. Director Brian C. Weed made a slasher film for the love of the genre. The cast is in it to have fun and you can see that on screen.I was also impressed by the kill scenes. The special effects and makeup are really good for an independent film. My hats off to whoever was in charge of those departments. It's not easy to deliver convincing gore, decapitations, and impalements on a shoestring budget.Being a slasher film, there has to be at least one topless scene and some sexual content and talk. It wouldn't be a proper tribute to the genre movies of the 1980s without those elements, right? I don't watch these types of films for that. I enjoy the gore and little twitches of fright they provide.If you're looking for a sincere and fun slasher flick that doesn't reek of Hollywood payola, "Bloody Homecoming" is a good choice. It has all the great elements of the 1980s genre movies it's mimicking, but doesn't come off as tired. However, you can't take the good without the bad. The acting will leave you cringing at times. Who really watches these types of movies for the acting anyway?
