Plot: A gangster shoots a snuff movie with a rented camera, but accidentally returns it with the tape still inside.
---- Y'know, for a movie that calls itself "Bloody Video Horror", there was very little blood and very little horror. We don't even get to see the "blood video horror" itself which is sad. It's not like with Snuff where we see the violence, we just get a reaction shot.
I don't think we even hear the name of the lead either. I think his name is Jim, but I could be wrong since the audio is so janky at times that it's almost impossible to make out full sentences. That's a problem with a lot of SOVs. They normally don't have the budget for a good boom mic, even though it's visible in at least two shots. During the police interrogation scenes, it's like they have a spotlight above the camera because there's this annoying white light that's just fixated. It's so abnormal and on top of the audio being very weird, it makes the scenes difficult to watch.
The acting....it could be better, but I've seen much worse. It's not 555 good, but it's not on the level of Criminally Insane or Death Nurse. It's lacking quite a bit, I'll say that much. But of course, what can you genuinely expect from an SOV anymore? One other thing I noticed when I was watching this is that there's no ending credits. We just get "The End" title card and then it just shows previews for other low budget movies or SOVs. So with that said, I have no idea who the characters are and I had to go to IMDb only to find the actors and a void next to their name. So if you come across this, you better have your listening ears on or you'll miss names easily.
I'm very disappointed with this. But of course, what else did I expect from a movie with a title like this? If you're a fan of SOVs, don't waste your time. Despite the plot being interesting, it's not worth your time. The other movies it tried to promote after it ended don't look that great either to be perfectly honest (Ghoul School, Savage Harvest & Kingdom of the Vampire).
