Short summary

The ghosts of a family accidentally killed on a movie set come back for revenge.

The cookabura sound indicates the death of impending doom of a character. His sound design would soon become a director trademark for James Shyman.

    Hollywood's New Blood is another craptastic horror entry that falls under the heading "so bad it's hysterical." The story follows a few young acting hopefuls attending a seminar to help them hone their craft. Unfortunately for them, the cabin they are staying in has a history. A movie crew filming at that location some 15-20 years ago accidentally blew the hell out of the place...and along with it the entire Glouster family. Or so they thought. Needless to say, the surviving Glousters don't care much for Hollywood types. That sucks for our bunch of twenty-somethings as the Glousters pick them off, one by one. The trio of killers aren't much to write home about. Go downtown in any major city and you will see the same three guys. The movie should have been called "Attack of the Shambling Hobos." Watch in horror as they shamble after various mullet-heads and dishwater blondes!! The tagline could have been "The night THEY came home." I swear the sound guy put microphones in their boots because when they are on screen all you can hear is loud, shuffling sounds. Luckily there is one character who knows the backstory of the Glousters and can track them through the woods. However, since all of the Glousters drag a bum leg, I'm certain I could have tracked them as well. In fact, the Glousters are the weakest slashers I've ever seen in a movie. I not only could have tracked them, I could have defeated them. I would have kicked each of them in their good leg and ran off. Simple as that. Should you make it through this entire feature you will be rewarded with a music video! It's utterly baffling too. One stanza of music is repeated over complete scenes from the movie that aren't even edited to be interesting while some weird guy keeps saying the title over and over again. Oh well. In an alternate universe the Glousters decided to fore-go revenge in favor of a lawsuit and became millionaires. They used the money to fix their bad legs.

    It's cliched! It's boring! It's a stupid, goreless, humorless horror film with no surprises, no scares, no violence, no special effects, no nudity and nothing else of potential interest! It's so bad it makes me want to petition the IMDB for a 0 to be added to the rating system. And it was all shot using a standard VHS camcorder, which you probably have tucked away somewhere in a closet. Hey folks! Why don't we all make our own movies, stick them in a cool video box and trick other hapless people into suffering through them!

    The plot revolves around a bunch of dense college-aged acting students who come together one stormy weekend to work on some project at a secluded cabin. Unfortunately for them (and ever more unfortunately for us) some psycho killers who were physically scarred when their house blew up, show up and start killing everyone off. It's just like a home-video quality FRIDAY THE 13TH movie minus all the good stuff. Could a movie be any worse? Geesh, I hope not.

    One more thing--although he's not listed here anywhere in the credits, one of the victims is played by Ken Abraham, who acted frequently for David DeCoteau and Rick Sloane.

    Score: 1 out of 10.

    Long time ago the Glouster family of boys were burned really bad during the explosion of their house caused accidentally by some film crew.The year is 1988.An actors' seminar at a remote house in the woods quickly turns into nightmare when their young and horny participants are stalked and murdered by three burned killers...Mercifully short slasher stinker with abysmal acting and dumb situations.The film features some of the worst acting performances I have ever seen.The editing is bad,the gore is almost non-existent and three killers are laughable with truly pitiful make-up on their burned faces.They look like forest bums.Jungle sound effects are pathetic.3 burned hobos out of 10.Only for most tolerant slasher collectors.

    A group of aspiring young thesps are beset by minacious derelicts during a field trip at a secluded old movie ranch.

    There's really very little to be said about HOLLYWOOD'S NEW BLOOD, except that it's a heavyweight contender for "worst slasher movie of all time". It's a faceless fumble in workaday amateurism, lethally dull and almost entirely devoid of any requisite slasher-cinema largess. Watching bad actors portraying actors is always somewhat amusing, but once that minor novelty wears thin, this film's valuation sinks to absolute zero.

    Nothing about HOLLYWOOD'S NEW BLOOD is worth a tinker's damn, but what else would you expect from a RAEDON VIDEO inhouse production? 1.5/10...an unpardonable belly-flop which simply must be avoided.

    I'll give it a star for the poster which is the best thing here and deserves a much better movie. And another star for all the sweet 80s mullets.
