Reception
Cinefantastique and Video Movie Guide both commended the performances of the film's cast.[1][8] A reviewer for Fangoria described Bloodletting as having "a smart script, a playful sense of humor and a solid rapport between the leads", praising its editing and noting "plenty of amusing twists and gruesome FX".[9] John W. Bowen of Rue Morgue called the film "so much more tightly focused than most of its peers", writing: "If microbudget shot-on-vid horror is to remain viable, a lot of filmmakers would do well to study the ways in which Bloodletting compensates for its low production values with solid performances and tight scripting, neither of which costs a dime."[2] The film received moderate praise from critic Joe Bob Briggs, who complimented its gore but asserted that it "ends up with a 'Who will they kill next?' plot that doesn't always hold your attention."[10]
Home media
On August 19, 2003, Bloodletting received a "special edition" DVD release by Tempe Video.[6] In 2022, Tempe Digital and Makeflix restored and released the film on Blu-ray.[11]
