Left For Dead

Left For Dead:




Characters:

Tommy: Our main character, not the brightest kid in the world, breaks his leg, god I never knew it could be so funny to watch a cripple get thrown down the stairs! (Yes, he survives though).

Blair: The man who started this whole thing, accidentally kills a man and for that he gets a mactete embedded in his head.

Nancy: Tommy's girlfriend, seems like a nice enough person, a stoner nonetheless but a good person, seems to attract blades, and in this case it seems quite terminal.

Clark: The sex fiend, I mean seriously he had sex with three different people in the movie, that is, before being impaled with a fire poker.

Detective Brakket: Ahh, seems he son is in a coma due Tommy and friends being stupid asses.

The Mask: Our killer, what a nice person hehe, it's too bad so many of the murders were non gory, Tommy must've been pissed about this also, as our killer ended up headless...





Plot:
One year ago a group of friends accidentally kill a thief, or so they thought. Now, one year later on Halloween night, someone is killing off the participants of that brutal slaying and anyone who gets in their way. Is the murders connected to the slaying of the thief? Will anyone survive this bloodbath? It's actually not much of a bloodbath but oh well.
















Review:
YAWN! Thats it? All the hype and this is what I get? This is no more than a VERY average slasher film. I mean this typical slasher film has had gotten a rave review from Slasherpool.com, a website I highly respect, and this is what I get for taking his advice? This movie is cheesy and rather stupid ,I mean I think we all could see the twist miles away! I mean really is this all I got? It's a half assed rip off of almost every slasher in existence for god's sake! But, it did not completely suck! Here is a list of the good things and a list of the bad thing to be found in this movie:

GOOD THINGS:
Neck breaking fast pace.
Big bodycount.
Good effects.
Occasionally good directing.
Superb acting.
And lots of Sex!

BAD THINGS:
Unoriginal.
Not in the least bit suspenseful or scary.
Bad twist.
Occasionally half assed acting and directing.
Very goreless!
Very stereotypical characters.


I mean yeah it's got more good things than bad so thats always nice. What surprised me about this movie though is that there is almost no gore! Now normally this would not have bothered me but it had a big bodycount (15 people if I counted correctly), and out of those I'd say maybe 8 of them had any blood in them at all! Well I guess this movie isn't a complete waste, don't let my review screw with your going to see it, it's worth it, but not by a lot. I can gladly recommend this movie to any fan of slasher movies as it is just like every other slasher in existence!












T&A:
There is actually a lot of nudity in it!



Gore:
Some stabbings, a slashed throat, a knife through the stomach, a machete in the head, and a decapitation, not a lot considering the bodycount.



Bodycount:15



Final Score: 3.5
