How to make a horror film for $3,000...

"Although this is a low, low budget effort with a lot of flaws, I'm giving it three stars for three reasons: 1) Truth-in-advertising - you get blood (lots) sex (some) and nightmares (the main character dreams about a serial killer on the loose); 2) the female lead (Julia Morizawa) does a pretty good job; 3) it shows what you can do with a paltry budget if you give it a good effort. When a couple go to do an "adult retreat" (otherwise called a sex camp) to rekindle their relationship, they find that the creepy groundskeeper is going around murdering everyone. Sure, it's a typical slasher-in-the-woods flick but at least they're adults getting slashed for having sex, not teenagers-as-usual. It also includes some oriental mysticism and a few surprises. So if you haven't seen every camp killer film, or you can't get enough of them, you may want to check this out."
Boring sex nightmare

"I must admit that when I buy a movie like Blood and Sex Nightmare, I am mostly looking for some small time fun, maybe even a little tilltilation (the sex part, you know). This, for lack of a better term, movie, fail to offer either.
It is suposed to be an horror / mistery but the plot is so confouse and full of holes, that I doubt someone can find anything of interest there.
As a sexy/gore movie is extremely bland for modern standards.
The female protagonist is rather cute, but gives the impresion than she does not get the thin plot either, and more than frigten and confouse, she looks more anoyed and confouse. For example, she is informed by her husband than they will spare their free time in and ADULT resort (heavily implicated to be a swinging resort), but is devastated when he spends a night when other woman. The male protagonist and the male antagonist are well caracterized but stiff in their acting.
The suposed resort looks extremely uninviting, not atmospheric,just old and dirty, too old and dirty for the represented midlee class couple.
There is a brief comic relief sketch (ending in the murder of the three comic caracters) that is amusing and have a very nice looking nude woman, but is to short to justified the rest of the movie.
My recomendation, do not buy this and try to avoid rent it, life is too short and there are a lot of better movies of the same style.

Cheap, and it tries to deliver but doesn't quite do it.

"You can tell what they were trying to do in Blood and Sex Nightmare. It's a cheap looking film that tries hard but doesn't quite succeed. I believe the film was made while the director was in film school or had just graduated. Kudos to him for making the thing, but in the genre of modern extreme horror, it didn't quite do it for me. More like a renter than a buyer in my opinion.... sadly, it was not available on Netflix."
