Some things you can't make up. Per Wikipedia. Tagline: You'll pray for Thursday!
Bloody Wednesday was made in 1985 and released in 1988. It's the B movie story of a guy mentally on the edge, struggling with his last grips of reality and unsure of himself. It is based on the happenings during the San Ysidro McDonald's massacre of 1984, and for what's it's worth, may be a somewhat realistic depiction.
This is another perfect definition of amateur. It was directed and produced by a man with no other IMDb credits, the main star only has a small handful of other acting roles. The writer had done quite a bit but also been based a lot in B movie, unknown, or unreleased films.
Bloody Wednesday is very forgettable film, it leaves you with nothing, not like it's expected to. The film has the main character talking to a teddy bear at multiple points, and none of that is even fun. Instead, it just keeps going and going until it's actually quite tense and dark finale.
I think I pointed out in a recent review that I have always disliked movies where it's about someone going insane, because I end up wondering too often what is happening in reality. When the main character kills a person that no one else sees the dead body, is that person really dead? If not, where did they go? I get annoyed because there's intentionally no answers to those questions, so we end up shrugging and finishing the movie, thinking 'whatever'.
Overall very bland until the end scene, this is some rank film-making that is hard to appreciate. 1 star.
