Most Likely to Die

I had literally just finished watching Scary movie, and this popped up as a suggestion so I gave it a try. On comparison Scary Movie was more realistic, better acted, and had a much tighter plot. It's like the writer had gotten drunk, started reading Agatha Christie's And then there were none, and thought up the most silly costume they could. I am so sad to see this genre of movie go down the pan, The Scream and I know what you did last Summer films were so good, this dire attempt at a film seemed to try and recreate that feeling, but failed miserably. The acting was dire, Perez Hilton's scream at finding Ashleigh was like something out of a first year School drama production. It actually looks pretty good, the cameraman and editing team did a good job at least.

A sad reminder at how good the slasher genre used to be.

Does Perez Hilton "act" in any other movies?? He looks like a 70 yr old man who's been choosing cocaine over food for decades. His haggard face makes the young adults having a high school reunion theme highly unlikely. Throughout the movie, he is just loud and overly flamboyant and it's awful. The movie was bad, but Hilton made it irredeemable.

This isn't even a b horror film. The deaths were tacky. What exactly was the plot. There is mention of a kid that is bullied while the throw back some beers and that's it. they have this character who sold alcohol (Last name is Busey, and by those big choppers he is definitely related to Gary Busey) who had no purpose in the movie and didn't serve to add to the plot at all. I just can't get over how awful Hilton was...

I certainly understand the amount of negative reviews and overall attitude of disdain for this film. Most Likely to Die really is a bad movie. The plot is contrived and silly, replete with all of the slasher clichés. The cinematography is adequate at best, the lighting is horrible. The acting ranges from serviceable to downright laughable (don't get me started on Perez Hilton). So why, despite all of these drawbacks, did I enjoy this film? One word: nostalgia. Most Likely to Die is a hardcore throwback to the cheesy slasher flicks of the 80's. Every single aspect of this film, other than the outfits and music, screams 80's slasher. Even the plot is a direct reference to, if not a ripoff of, the 1986 horror film Slaughter High (also known as April Fool's Day). Most Likely to Die is a direct descendant of these legendary films, much more so than most modern slashers that also recycle the usual tropes. It's really sort of a guilty pleasure. If you're looking for anything other than a corny throwback, throw this one right out the window.

I have a love for slasher movies, even the really cheesy ones from the 80's & 90's, but 'Most Likely to Die' is a very subpar effort despite an interesting set-up with the killer offing victims based on their yearbook's "most likely to" which was a pretty neat concept and a cool blue graduation costume. But there's just way too many flaws that holds this back from being up there with the greats of this genre.

The plot focuses on a group of former classmates gathering together to attend a high school reunion at a secluded home, then one by one, they are brutally murdered in a manner befitting their yearbook's most likely to. Are the murders linked to a past event or is something more afoot?

I did like the attempt at giving each of the characters an interesting back-story, but not all that much is done with them, it just feels like an attempt at trying to get the viewer to sympathize with them, which doesn't really work as you just want them to die quicker. The acting was fine for the most part and there are a few familiar faces with Heather Morris (Glee) and Perez Hilton (Blogger), although the latter was just as odious as his real-life counterpart.

Visually it's not all that interesting either with a daytime soap opera feel to the above average production. There was also way too much padding of the run-time with the kills taking way too long to happen, despite a somewhat promising opening. Although there are some creative kill moments towards the latter half, but everything's let down by an underwhelming obvious reveal and a very limp ending.

So overall 'Most Likely to Die' is a rather weak effort that fails to do the most obvious thing (which I won't spoil).

Nothing original here, a movie you will forget within hours of watching it. The same old classic slasher film cliches regurgitated once again into this little, boring slasher flick.

Filled with unintelligent and straight up stupid dialogue, as expected, this movie fails to create any suspense, so whenever one of the kids gets killed you simply couldn't care less, since the writers have completely failed setting the atmosphere of this movie, you can see where it is going right from the start. In my opinion, we have had more than enough of the same recycled slasher films over the years and it simply is the time to stop and move on from this genre, at least for a couple of years, because this type of horror has been witnessed so many times throughout the years it has gotten completely mondane and boring. People are not looking for shock value in movies anymore, hence the low ratings here.

Also, the plot twist is absolutely ridiculous and could very well be one of the dumbest i have ever seen, simply put this film has a horrible ending. Another thing to point out, the lighting/sound effects in this film were surprisingly bad, the location was great, but clearly somebody was not doing their job right, when it came to lighting/sound effects.

Overall ''Most Likely To Die'' is your casual, boring slasher horror film, which brings absolutely nothing new to the horror genre and will be forgotten almost instantly after viewing. Do not recommend watching this in the slightest!
