Bloody Flowers

Bloody Flowers is a thriller based in Paris, France. The film received good reviews when it was released on DVD. It's a low-cost movie but the director knows how to make the most of his limited resources and gives the film a real mysterious atmosphere, in an "old-fashioned" style. Today the film cannot be found, the DVD of By Jove is a collector's item. In the making-of, the director explains that because of a serious accident involving an actor during filming, the scenario had to be completely rewritten on set (it's true that the film ends strangely)... and the director was forced to play a role which was not planned! A really strange movie !

"Bloody Flowers" is a thriller made by French director Julien Richard under the pseudonym Richard J. Thomson in 2008. It's a very cheap B-movie, which was made in just two weeks and which looks extremely amateurish. It seems like a hilarious parody of the exploitation films of the 70s, full of gratuitous female nudity and full of bloody violence. The acting is terrible, over-the-top and ridiculous theatrical. Some scenes are rather laughable then scary. The dialogues are weak and unrealistic. The way of speaking is very unnatural. The English pronunciation is very weak. In some scenes the lip movements of the characters seem out of sync with the soundtrack. The scenario is poor. It looks a bit like 'grand guignol'. The music is written by the director and is very superficial and rather old- fashioned. It's the kind of boring synthesizer music you hear in porn movies from the 80's. This attempt to make a film is a surreal joke.
