Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Serenity3000 Pure garbage, please don't waste your time. I love horror movies, but this is not one of them. Low budget is no excuse to make this kind of mess.

djangozelf-12351 The thing that set this apart from other horror flicks is the fact that it looks like this is a story that will not have sequels and for horror that's rare these days.All the elements for a good horror are in place and I was some what surprised by the ending because I really didn't see it coming.The way the killer looked and the weapon he uses are pretty original and at least it seemed like they put some thought in to this.That's not to say everything was top notch but good enough to tell the story and with some parts of the movie that just surpass the B-status.I think timing is the real problem here and if this movie would have been made before 2010 it would have had a bigger budget and than it could easily have been a mainstream horror movie. If you are a horror fan you should really check it out.If you're into mainstream like "conjuring"or some other rating 12 vehicle than this is probably not for you.I liked it and therefor recommend it.I hope you agree and enjoy it.Billy club id bad ass.

exterminateall I must say I was pretty bummed over this one. Slashers are my favorite style of Horror, and after seeing that bat with all the nails and self made bayonet attached, I thought this might be an awesome one.... I was very wrong.I'm all for a "So bad it's good" movie, but this is just BAD. The acting is really ridiculous, almost inexcusably horrible; and this goes for really every singe actor and actress in this film. There was a typical Slasher movie stoner who was kind of funny, and actually probably the best actor in the movie, though that isn't saying too much.The story is FULL of plot holes, and it doesn't seem to make too much sense, ESPECIALLY the twist at the end. As I mentioned in the title, this movie drags on so long in between kills that I started to forget what the hell was even happening in the plot. I didn't remember any of the characters names either, all just forgettable throughout. Usually the teens/people in Slasher movies are pretty dumb, but they take the cake in this one. At the end the female character sees a murder and freaks out saying "I need to get out of here!", and instead of jumping in the truck parked outside that has worked throughout the entire film, she decides to run into the woods. What the? The most bizarre and ridiculous scene in the whole entire movie happens when one of the male characters jumps in his truck to go on a drive and think for a minute, and he is joined by another male character who goes to help him get his mind off what's happening. They stop at the edge of the woods, where the driver then tries to kiss the passenger? Out of no where. And after being denied he says " I'm not gay!!" and gets out and runs into the woods? There is just so many stupid and unexplained things that happen in this movie, and by the end I couldn't wait for it to be over.Other than a few kind of gory kills that looked half decent, I'd stay away from this one. I was going to buy it on Amazon just because I like to collect movies good or bad. But after checking it out on Hulu, this is just too bad to add to the collection.

ASouthernHorrorFan The story is a pretty clever, dark piece of horror that draws on tradition slasher elements like the surrealist atmosphere, horrific backstory, and plenty of blood and gore. "Billy Club" starts with a terrible tragedy that comes back to haunt all those involved. Totally typical and completely perfect for any slasher. It is a set- up that I personally feel never becomes tired. Rosas and Sommers manage to bring out a nostalgia and adoration for classic 80's horror while creating a truly individual horror story and truly inventive masked slasher. One that is sure to be a modern day slasher icon worthy of franchising. The acting and direction of the film is pretty standard with a cast that is rough in spots hitting the dialog and timing, but honestly no more than so many films that have come before it. Films that I find myself watching over and over. There are a few too many flashback moments in the film that can seem confusing but really fit when you get to the ending. The ending is one that is clever, well hidden until the very end and really solidifies "Billy Club" as worthy of the awards it has won. The humor is not the comedy "spoof" stuff but a blend of characters that fit into the "loveable losers" category and drug induced humor. It does seem to confuse the overall dark nature of the material but only in the way that several of the characters in the "Friday The 13th" franchise do for those films. The special effects are all practical, organic, and traditional-no CGI here, at least none that I could tell. The directors never shy away from the kill scenes and showing the gruesomeness of it all, the effects artist has is consistency and quality at a level that the directors don't have to "insinuate" the brutality so deaths are pretty cool and graphic. The sound effects are a bit garden variety creepiness but work well to create a chilling environment for this nightmare to unfold. The effects in one final scene aren't quite as stellar as the rest of the film's gory effects but whatever, 95% of the slaugherfest in "Billy Club" is pretty tight. Overall "Billy Club" is a worthy slasher film that is an instant cult classic. I enjoyed this film immensely, I connected with the vibe of little league having played up until JV, the nods and homage to classic 80's slashers are tasteful and not rip-offs, and the killer is just a nightmare. Truly creative and menacing. The cinematography is done nicely, enough of the film happens in darkness (which is how a horror film should be), the scenery and sets are odd, eerie elements that just amp up the chilling subject matter. But mostly the guts and gore are the big draw for horror fans to the film. Definitely check this one out!
