Reception[edit]
Critical response[edit]
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 40% with an average rating of 4.4 based on 5 reviews. Felix Vasquez Jr. of Cinema Crazed gave the film a mixed review, writing, "'Bloody Helen' is not the worst movie on video store shelves as many people have claimed, but it's just not effective enough to ever be anything more than a simple horror movie about urban legends." Geoffrey D. Roberts of ReelTalk.com called the film "a flat, one-note ripoff" and criticized its lack of scares.
Plot[edit]
In 1995, at the Worthington High Homecoming Dance, a group of high school footballers try to drug and kidnap their dates. Their plan works with most of the girls, but one of them, Helen Anderson-Delgado, tries to escape. The football captain chases her into a storage room and punches her, causing her to fall and hit her head on a desk. Unable to revive her or hear her heartbeat, the footballer panics and locks her body in a trunk.
14 years later, in 2009, high school girl Annabella "Bella" Martin-Danzinger-Ross jokingly conjures up Bloody Helen with her friends during a sleepover. Over the following days, a number of strange events occur, with Sam experiencing hallucinations of a dead girl bleeding from her head. Several of Sam's classmates also die under bizarre circumstances; football player Roger is burned alive in a sunbed, Sam's friend Heather has spiders burst from her cheek and gets her face mutilated by broken mirror shards, and football player Tom is electrocuted while urinating on an old electrical fence.
In her homework, Bella finds notes that had been sent to Rosie about Helen Anderson-Delgado's disappearance and the 1995 homecoming kidnappings. She looks through school paper archives, where she learns that Helen was never found and is presumed dead, and that another victim of the kidnappings, Hailey Rogers, still lives in town. Bella and her brother Aaron visit Hailey, who claims that Helen's "life force" is exacting revenge on the children of the five people involved in the kidnappings, but that she cannot (or will not) reveal the names of the perpetrators.
The siblings go to warn the school's football captain and Rosie's boyfriend Eduardo, whom has been blaming Bella and Peter for the recent deaths. Eduardo reveals that his father, Coach Jerry, the football coach, was one of the kidnappers in 1995, but that he did not hurt Mary. Later, Ed is attacked and murdered by a demonic visage of Helen whilst at a motel.
Ed is directed to the school archives by Hailey and discovers the identity of the fifth person involved in the kidnappings. He rushes home, but finds Bella gone and is suffocated by a hooded figure. Meanwhile, Bella has another vision of Helen, revealing that she was still alive when she was locked in the trunk, but suffocated to death soon after waking up. The visions also reveal to Bella the whereabouts of the trunk. Bella visits Hailey, who reluctantly agrees to drive Bella to the school. There, Bella finds the storage room and the trunk with Helen's body. She is nearly attacked by the hooded figure, but manages to escape while carrying Helen's remains outside to the van.
Finding Hailey unconscious, Bella drives the van to the cemetery, where she begins to dig a grave for Helen under her headstone. Her stepfather Peter, whom Bella had phoned, also appears and helps her dig, before he suddenly hits Bella with the shovel. Peter reveals to Bella that he was the one that locked Helen in the trunk, and that he also killed Eduardo. He attempts to kill her to stop her from telling law enforcement, before Helen's ghost appears and kills him. After the emergency services arrive, Bella and Hailey are treated by personnel as they sit consoling one another.
