I have to say I actually like this film. The setup of the story is solid. I really dug the characters in this film the writer I thought did a really good job in character development don't get me wrong there is some really bad acting in this film at times and the kill scenes in this film are poorly executed but there is also some really good acting in this as well. My favorite part of the movie is when the main characters are partying at this abandon farmhouse and they find out that a killer is on the property and they are trapped there. They are in the farmhouse trying to decide their next move or fall prey to the killer. I loved what the writer also director did with this part of the movie you get a great feel for these characters some will surprise you and some is obvious but a real cool scene nevertheless. I recommend this film especially to all slasher film fans at least give it a shot.

No matter how hard they try (or don't try) modern slashers can never seem to capture the endearingly innocent goofiness and corniness of the 78-83 era. Varsity Blood is no exception, although to be fair it does at least start in the right gear. The opening few minutes got my hopes up that I was about to witness a retro slasher homage done the right way for once (the killer looked truly hilarious and the film briefly seemed like fun), but it soon shifted gears into snooze-mode. One of my main problems was the way almost every character garbled their lines out in such a lacklustre way that half of what they said was unintelligible. I don't mind dumb dialogue, in fact I love it, but only when I can make it out. This and the total lack of screen presence of most of the cast, and the fact the plot moved slower than an iceberg chained to a wall made me give up about half way through, which I rarely do. This wasn't insultingly annoying, but should've been much more fun than it was.

It's hard to think of a way to describe how completely awful 'Varsity Blood' is. It's one of those films that still hasn't gotten over the popularity of 'Troll 2,' and instead of attempting to make a watchable horror film, they think of ways to make you shut the damn thing off. Okay, we get it, 'Troll 2' was so awful that you have to enjoy it - and believe it or not, I own the DVD, but enough is enough. No film will ever be able to match the 'so bad, it's good' cult following that 'Troll 2' has, so just move on and try making a watchable film.The acting is so bad in 'Varsity Blood,' that when you believe you found the worst actor on the planet, a new character comes into the picture and you go back to thinking it can't get any worse - but somehow it goes on throughout the film. The killers costume is dreadful, and because of the body size of the killer, you won't have any trouble figuring out the 'twist.' And when the killer does make his final appearance, you'll finally be able to solve the puzzle of who the worst actor in the film truly is.Random Ramblings of a Madman: No one should ever see this film.

The team is ready, and the girls are all in, time to have a party! Right? Besides, Halloween always makes it better! Right? All the makin's of a great ol' horror flick! RIGHT? Well..I would have enjoyed saying YES! but I can't. I just can't! Difficult movie to review. Why? Because the whole thing was a poor excuse for a horror, and a movie.(moho) maybe if the timing had been better? Or maybe if the actors meshed a little better? Or maybe if the story had...AWW! I can't, i just Can't!! Sorry folks but this movie was, to me, about as good as this review...I would give you more but i believe everyone is entitled to their own opin-viewing. Enjoy your time at the movies, i did!
