Blood Widow is a Slasher Movie by Jeremiah Buckhalt.
Laurie Sullivan (Danielle Lilly) and her boyfriend Hugh McAllister (Brandon Kyle Peters) are a young couple who have recently purchased a small house away from the city. Laurie is all set to pack, but discovers, much to her chagrin, that Hugh invited their friends Mark Schmidt (Jose Miguel Vasquez), Amber Fitzpatrick (Emily Cutting), Kenneth Campbell (Christopher de Padua), and Harmony Lively (Kelly Quinn) over for a party that night.
While taking note of the home, they all discover that the property next door is occupied by a dilapidated building that once operated as a boarding school that, upon questioning the locals, apparently had a dark past.
What no one knows, however, is that a former resident of that boarding school is still in the building. And what's worse, she's out for their blood for trespassing on her home.
The film was released on June 3rd, 2014.
Blood Widow contains examples of:
- Abandoned Area: The building next door to Laurie's and Hugh's house. It used to be a boarding school for girls but was shut down after one girl killed the headmaster because he was abusing her.
- Absurdly Sharp Blade: Whatever the killer's using for weapons, they are impossibly sharp, capable of cleaving limbs off and slicing through solid wood with no resistance.
- An Arm and a Leg:
- The killer chops off Mark's arms while he's lowering Laurie from the second-story window of her house.
- The killer chops off one of Hugh's hands.
- The Bad Guy Wins: The killer kills all of the protagonists and emerges completely victorious.
- Blood from the Mouth: Blood comes out of Amber's mouth after the killer stabs her in the neck. There's also ample blood from Laurie's mouth as the killer beats her to death.
- Bondage Is Bad: When the killer has Laurie chained up in the basement of the building, she starts whipping her legs with a cat-o-nine-tails.
- Bound and Gagged: The killer ties Laurie's hands together, puts a gag over her mouth, and puts her in a closet.
- Camera Fiend: One of these wanders into the killer's home in the prologue of the movie. Naturally, he's the first one killed.
- Creepy Basement: There's one under the school.
- Dirty Coward: Kenneth is always shying away from taking any kind of initiative, opting to wait in the evidently insecure house for the Wilsons, screaming like a little girl and trying to run away at the first sign of danger, not bothering to help his friends or even check if they're really dead.
- Downer Ending: Laurie has a chance to escape when she sees Hugh's crossbow. She picks it up and aims it at the supposedly-dead killer. She knocks the crossbow away and beats Laurie to death. The final shot is of the killer closing the basement door as she leaves it.
- "Everybody Dies" Ending: The protagonists are wiped out to the last man.
- Evil Wears Black: The killer wears a black bodysuit, with the sole exception of her White Mask of Doom.
- The Faceless: The killer never lets anyone see what she's hiding behind her White Mask of Doom. The one time she has it off, her face is offscreen. The closest her face comes to being shown is at the end when Laurie clocks her with an axe handle, damaging the mask and displaying some of her left cheek and jaw.
- Facial Horror: The killer rips part of Hugh's face off with her cat-o-nine-tails.
- Failed a Spot Check: While searching for Harmony, Amber doesn't notice she stepped on a piece of gore.
- Final Girl: Laurie. Subverted when she is killed as well.
- Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: While as her prisoner, Laurie tells the killer that, while she didn't deserve to go through what she went through, that doesn't give her the right to torture and kill other people.
- Full-Body Disguise: The killer's features are completely concealed under her black bodysuit and white mask.
- Granola Girl: Harmony.
- Malevolent Masked Woman: The killer slaughters the protagonists while hiding her face beneath a White Mask of Doom.
- Messy Maggots: While in the crawlspace under the school building Laurie is scared by the sight of a dead body with some maggots crawling on it.
- Negated Moment of Awesome: Laurie grabs an axe to fight the killer with, takes a swing... and the killer chops the axe head off.
- Off with His Head!:
- The killer beheads two people simultaneously when the power comes back on at the party.
- The killer beheads Robert Wilson in front of his wife.
- Sinister Scythe: The killer uses a scythe to kill Kenneth.
- Tae Kwon Door: When Hugh goes to open up the basement door with Kenneth, the killer swings the door open, hitting him and knocking him out cold.
- Title Drop: Laurie reads in the diary that, while being hauled off by the police, the girl who killed the headmaster for how he abused her was being called "Blood Widow" by the other girls at the school.
- Tom the Dark Lord: Reading the diary reveals that the killer's name is the rather mundane Tiffany.
- Too Dumb to Live: Much of the death that occurs in the second half could've been avoided or mitigated if the characters used their completely functional landline phone to call the police instead of the Wilsons.
- The Voiceless: The killer never once speaks. It's unclear if she is physically incapable of talking or simply has nothing to say.
- White Mask of Doom: The killer wears one.
