Groundhog Day meets John Dies at the End. OK the plot was nothing like JDatE, but the tone really reminded me of that film.

Refreshing (if not entirely original) premise with characters that grew to be likeable after a rocky start.

Mostly good acting and great cinematography.

Ultimately pretty silly, but well worth giving your time to if you are in the mood for a light hearted horror evening.

"Blood Punch" is a slasher film meets "Groundhog's Day." Olivia Tennet plays an over-the-top Skylar in a wicked dark humor role. Milo Cawthorne plays a slightly meek, geeky Jesse Eisenberg type character, complimenting Skylar. Wickedly funny. This is more of a dark comedy than horror.

Guide: F-word. Implied sex. No nudity. Good to watch a second time through.

When I sat down to watch "Blood Punch" I hadn't heard about it. I picked up the movie and was intrigued by the front cover. I read the synopsis on the back and it seemed fairly interesting. So why not give it a chance?

This was sort of a morbid twist on "Ground Hog Day". But this horror version just didn't really pan out for me. Sad to say.

The storyline just was a bit too muddy and scrambled for my liking, and there weren't really any great progression to the storyline. It just took forever for the movie to virtually go nowhere. So no great achievement here for director Madellaine Paxson or writer Eddie Guzelian.

It should be said that the acting was good, although the actors and actresses had very little to work with in terms of storyline and script. Milo Cawthorne actually carried the movie quite well with his performance.

I managed to sit through the entire movie, although it was a struggle to remain in my seat for the last half of the movie.
