Oh LORD!
chanin-546167 September 2021
Who is writing all the 10 and 9 star reviews for this movie?? Snoop was literally the only saving grace! Terrible acting, dialogue, plot, music- really it is pretty unwatchable, but I must be a glutton for punishment, because I watched the whole thing! :D :D :D :D.

Just an awful way to spend a couple of hours.
gutmunchers-3163113 July 2022
This is sincerely one of the slowest movies I've seen in a long time. The editing is shabby with backgrounds developed for characters that I didn't care about and I'm sure most people won't either. I also didn't see this faith based horror flick thing coming and even that was ineptly done. Forget where you stand on that this is terribly acted, directed, edited (needed to say that again), and a complete waste of time.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions but I have to think that those giving this 9 and 10 must be shills.

This Movie Sucks
NickGagnon9425 March 2022
I mean wow! This is one of, if not the worst film of '21. Its a supernatural slasher religious film. Thats right I said religious film. Its about a house set reality show where the cast and crew gets killed by a entity that makes stock sound noises. Its a total mess to say the least but I hated the religious message that treats any non religious person as a immoral idiot. But at the same time the main girl is completely unlikeable. Possibly the worst female protagonist ever. Plus the film is 115 minutes and does not need to be. Also I get a kick that when the two girls look up history of the 1600s there are photoshopped pictures. Snoop Dog is here and Im sure they filmed with him for a day, maybe two at the most. Hes in 5 brief scenes. I hated this film.

I Hope Snoop Dogg Got a Nice Paycheck
GrantKanigan31 August 2021
This is so absolutely inept, poorly made, amateurish and annoying that it's unfair to label it as a film. I can only imagine they spent their budget on Snoop Dogg's cameo, (or somehow 'Bowfinger-ed' him into the film), and everyone else worked for free. There's a few actors trying hard, but the direction so absent, the cinematography so stale, and a story so nonsensical - this isn't even "fun" bad... it's just bad. And kind of depressing.

And then it slowly becomes frighteningly apparent this isn't a normal horror movie - it's "faith based." It's a non-horror horror film, where any scares or laughs are lost to nonsensical monologues about the power of Jesus. It's almost as if Jesus' PR team paid for product placement throughout the film.

Not all faith based, or Christian films are bad, (The Exorcist, The Mission, Constantine are all different, unique, compelling and entertaining), but this one definitely is. For both the faithful and non-faithful this is nothing but a weird, confusing and boring exercise in formulaic filmmaking with zero creativity, intellect or sense of humour.

Nostalgia always win
zazenpanda20 August 2021
Who doesn't still want want Ted Lange (The Love Boat) as their friend and/or neighborhood bartender? Today, his infectious smile is just as inviting, and it shines as he welcomes you to the stage of "American Dream". "American Dream", the Reality TV show backdrop for this comedy-horror, features the ever adorably sweet Beverly Mitchell (7th Heaven) as one of its lovely beauty contestants. The KING of laidback... SNOOP DOG... has never been so chill.

As we get older we become nostalgic for anything that rewards us with memories from the less-burdened days of our youth. As an actor I appreciate, and enjoy, seeing familiar faces in unfamiliar roles.

BLOOD PAGEANT hit me in both the feels.

Creepy Campy Horror-Filled Fun!
tsands-41 July 2021
A funny fright-filled Horror Comedy about a reality show gone terribly wrong when one of the contestants uses New Age occult techniques and unwittingly unleashes the expected mayhem on her fellow competitors. The film expertly and hilariously skewers the completely contrived world of "reality" TV while delivering some legit scares. My lady friend accidentally threw nachos all over me in one of the scenes! Snoop Dogg and Stephen Baldwin were cool guest stars and Baldwin's biggest scene was surprisingly moving. It was good, spooky, easy to watch fun full of pretty people who die mostly deserved deaths. Grab your gin and juice, sit back and enjoy!

Faith Based Horror
missionpluto29 June 2021
Where is the line between right and wrong? Earthly vs immortal? If you want a gore fest slasher that revels is blood and guts and depravity, then go elsewhere. There's real life morality questions raised here while also having a fun send up of the reality show genre. The life coach Liz, (Natasha Blasick) sets an evil plan in motion with her sultry brunette femme fatale presence. And the songs are a treat!

What a clever FUN Comedy-Horror!!!
trinitycfg30 June 2021
Blood Pageant is the kind of movie you want to see more than once!

The comedic romp behind the scenes of a reality show competition is very enjoyable! The PA (played by Leo Gilmore) says to the other PA (played by John Ernst) that "you never tell the producer's wife where the producer REALLY is." "These are things they don't teach you in film school." The producer (played by David Chokachi) is so well played and he is so caught up in his ratings that he doesn't even care about all the mysterious deaths and disappearances around him. He plays off of the uptight and frustrated British director (played by Steve Spiro) so well! The comedy they bring is worth enjoying. The movie arcs in horror and there are some cool scares, but this is not a slasher film. It is a campy comedy horror with a mysterious twist ending. Snoop Dogg was such a good addition as the judge of the reality show. Ten stars! I bought it on Amazon!

Entertaining and fun!

Did not know this was going to have this many comedic scenes. Loved the satirical take on reality shows and also for having a positive message at the end. A true good vs evil story.

A comedic horror film presented by Red Velvet Entertainment. We, The Living want YOU to watch this movie. This film will give you enough scares AND laughs, and sometimes both at the same time! "THERE IS NO FOOD IN THE FOOD"-Chef Domnic🤣

Comedy and Horror - perfectly balanced and awesome fun !!!
leothelion-2009630 June 2021
Blood Pageant is a really fun film that falls somewhere between a suspenseful supernatural horror and a comedy that dives into the world of reality TV. It has a great balance between the genres that make it a unique and entertaining film.

Also Snoop Dogg is friggin' awesome and the rest of the cast (Joanna DeCastro, David Chokachi, Ellia English, and more) were spot on fantastic!

It's definitely one of the titles on Amazon that's worth buying, not just renting, because it has so many small details and jokes that you get when you watch it over again. Also watch through the credits, there's something you don't want to miss at the end!

Is it Halloween yet?!
missinnayang29 June 2021
Blood Pageant has all the elements you're looking for in a supernatural film - gore, scandal, witchcraft, and more! Gripping and entertaining from start to finish. The two main female protagonists are badass tool.

Such an original movie!
bainesalexis29 June 2021
I really enjoyed this film! It had all of the elements of an amazing horror film (on top of it being such a comedy)! Definitely don't go into this thinking it is slasher film, but it's still an amazing watch! I highly recommend it!

This film delivers

Snoop Dogg? Reality Competition? Supernatural? Yes. This film delivers. It's entertaining and brings some laughs even with the 'horror film' set up.

"BLOOD PAGEANT" AN AMAZING SUPERNATURAL THRILLER COMEDY
And speaking of comedy, Ellia English,(who plays Madame Destiny), gives an awesome performance both comedic and dramatic in the same scene.

Snoop Dog, the lovable "Dog Father", is always engaging to watch. And the rest of the cast worked well together weaving a thrilling thread which kept me so engaged as an audience, I didn't realize that I was sitting on the edge of my seat the entire time.

The Movie "Blood Pageant", centers around a reality Competition called "American Dream", which turns into a nightmare when contestants mysteriously disappear.

However, amidst the battle between good and evil, an unlikely friendship develops.

Blood Pageant is a must see movie!

Interesting "reality" premise for a film... Loved it!
ScottduPont12 August 2021
Great cast including Snoop Dog, Stephen Baldwin, Ted Lange, Beverly Mitchell, and David Chokachi (who was really funny). I really enjoyed the shananigans that often happen on "real" reality shows that everyone watches these days. No spoilers... but it does get a little bloody at the end & some very impressive visual & special FX. Check the film out... you'll have a lot of laughs & maybe 1 or 2 screams!

A really fun Christian Horror film
lkulp1-778-608063 August 2021
Blood Pageant is an interesting horror film that brings together comedy, thrills and horror. I'm going to get a bit of grief for saying this, but I see it as "Christian Horror". It may seem like a stretch but watch it and you may agree.

I loved the statements that went across the screen as the movie started. They referred to the fact that the fastest growing belief groups are the "none", those with no religious beliefs. Also that new age beliefs may be opening the door to age old demons.

Blood Pageant shows the consequences of toying with forces you don't understand.

I truly enjoyed this movie, I love horror films with both comedy and a touch of camp. Never was it more clear that there is No Reality in Reality TV. We have a fun story here.

A comedic indie satire!
EthanAlexander942 August 2021
There are many moments in this film that stand out within the films genre. Dipping into what goes on behind the scenes in the entertainment industry, hotboxing with production crew and meddling within the underground cult, Blood Pageant shows all sides of what lies underneath the beauty of reality T. V. Although this film doesn't hop on the bandwagon as a slasher film, here you can find the presence of some satirical comedy and some diverse character development with the company of a whole lot of babies waiting to see what their future has in store in Hollywood!

Fresh Twist
Very original. Really enjoyed the humorous peek behind the curtain of a reality/talent show. Not all fun & games though. There are some spine tingling, paranormal moments. Some solid acting and... Snoop Dogg! All in all, an enjoyable ride with a great moral.
