CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Chase_Witherspoon Amateurish tale of mentally disturbed man (Elmendorf) whose brother (Perry) agrees to allow him to stay at a derelict hotel until its sold while he seeks treatment from psychiatrist (Baker), talks to his teddy (voiced by well-known Hollywood little person Billy Curtis) and takes advice from a street thug (O'Haco) on how to hurt people. A series of bizarre confrontations with apparent apparitions occur, and culminate in Elmendorf's character acquiring a 9mm uzi and a sudden Rambo-urge to "use it" (quote, unquote).Academy Award winning wordsmith Philip Yordan produced and scripted this low-grade thriller, that includes some of the corniest dialogue I've ever heard uttered. "Make me a cripple, Ben" is one of my personal favourites, though there's also a cracker monologue delivered by O'Haco about being paid $4 hour and needing to mug fat people to pay for his $15 a night steak habit. It's unintentionally laughable.Inept on almost all fronts, from the yamaha sound system soundtrack to the abominable acting, the most believable scene in the movie is when one of the hoods wets himself. Some minor credit can be paid to the bathroom strangulation scene, where some creative camera angles are used and the overall result is pretty effective, but that's a rare moment in this film. If you do persist, then the climax will be your reward - the expression on his face is priceless.

Gunnar_Runar_Ingibjargarson From the description of this movie, it sounds like one of those Texas Chainsaw Massacre clones they made so many of during the 80s. That's what I expected: Not a great cinematic masterpiece, but 90 minutes of mindless entertainment. Unfortunately, this was not at all what I expected. The movie is about a guy with hallucinations and then goes berserk, killing people in a diner. This scene is a couple of minutes at the end of the film, and up until that point it's s a bad attempt at some kind of psychological thriller.Very stupid movie which will not fright you in any way. Don't check this one.

wes-connors Your average neighborhood coffee shop is the scene of a massacre; then, the story shifts to one Raymond Elmendorf (as Harry Curtis). Mr. Elmendorf is employed as an automobile mechanic; but, he can't "make things fit anymore." Unable to repair a car, the newly unemployed Elmendorf attends a church service in the buff. Society doesn't appreciate his public exhibition, and Elmendorf is locked up. He begins to see sexy psychiatrist Pamela Baker (as Dr. Johnson)… The best scenes occur after Elmendorf is released as an outpatient, and moves into an eerily photographed apartment building (with his madness). He is terrified by monsters from the Id, and punks from the street. Gilhuis/Ryan do some psycho creepy stuff. Jeff O'Haco (as Animal) has a nice pool hall scene. Wife Teresa Mae Allen (as Elaine) has a sexy scene (which turns ugly, of course).If "Bloody Wednesday" was supposed to show how this man could massacre people in a coffee shop, it misfires.

Coventry Beware of 80's horror movies of which the DVD-cover repeatedly 'warns' you about the extremely graphic content and/or shocking images of the film… Nearly always, this is just a method to divert your attention of the fact that it's a very incompetent and cheap production. In this case, it's even worse, as "Bloody Wednesday" turns out very boring and not bloody at all! The only "graphic content" is found at the beginning and ending of the film and that actually is twice the same sequence! (Oops…that was a spoiler!). The "story" of Bloody Wednesday revolves on a thirty-something loser called Harry! Harry has got some serious issues… He has legal conversations with his teddy bear (I'm serious!) and he walks into church services naked, singing Hallelujah-praise the Lord! When Harry is fired for the umpteenth time, his brother hires his as a janitor for an abandoned hotel where he then loses his mind completely. I suppose this movie was meant to be a psychological portrait of a man unable to function in modern society, constantly trying to fool the audience by showing events that are whether real….or the imagination of a sick man. No matter what this film tries to achieve, it fails… There's absolutely no structure, not a single idea is elaborated properly (the hotel-suicides, Harry's desires towards his female doctor…) and the inexperienced star Raymond Elmendorf lacks the required talent to play a demanding role like this. Most of the time, he weakly imitates a combination of the characters Jack Torrance (from "The Shining") and Norman Bates (from "Psycho") but he hasn't got personality himself. The total lack of violence and sleaze is unacceptable and there's absolutely no trace of twisted humor in the script…Or maybe it was so lousy that I didn't even notice it. I find it rather surprising that this turkey was written by Philip Jordan, as his other 80's trash-horror films are a lot more entertaining (Night Train to Terror, The Unholy…). In case you want to see a good and truly raw drama handling about urban-insanity, keep your eyes open for Abel Ferrara's "The Driller Killer" but do avoid this garbage at all costs.
