Blood Oath (2006) is one of the new crop of indie slasher flicks, so you know you’re going to get a thigh-deep heap of “homages” to movies that were forgettable when they originally showed at the drive-in, and characters who are are periodically lobotomized so that they’ll behave as only characters in slasher flicks behave. It’s hard to measure the success of a movie which aims so low.

This was a hard one for me. Both the director and the guy who gets decapitated in the beginning are old high school friends of mine. I made a screenshot of the decapitation into a Christmas card a couple years ago and sent it to them.

You, Keith, have not been keeping up on your Grand Index entries, otherwise I would have remembered that you had reviewed this. For shame, sir!

Oh, wait. There’s Keith’s entry; it somehow got alphabetized between “Bloodmoon” and “The Bloodstained Shadow”, instead of between “Blood Freak” and “Blood of Dracula”.

In that case, I blame the peculiarities of alphabetical order. All is forgiven, Keith!

Perhaps we can invent some sort of proprietary organizational system, like the Dewey Decimal system, but with more fractions and built-in adaptability for double features.*
* – Because double feature DVDs really muck up the alphabetization of my dvd collection, making me think that I should do it all by genre and series, or possibly by dominant color on the spine of the dvd cover.

Oh, and I couldn’t tell from the screencaps — was that a screener copy?
