Living Death

This film was aptly named. It was like living death just watching it.

I've seen a lot of REALLY bad low budget horror movies. But this has to be one of the worst I've ever seen.

I wouldn't even want my enemies to sit through this. The only reason I did is because I have a policy to watch movies completely through to see if there are any redeeming qualities.

Not. One.

Outside of the opening scene, there's literally no action, no drama, no tension, no horror for an hour. ONE HOUR. The movie is only 80 minutes and 60+ minutes are spent TALKING, TALKING, TALKING.

EVERY character, including the "heroes" are totally unlikeable. I really wished everyone would've just died. It would have been a more fulfilling ending.

I thought this was fun to watch.

Not an Oscar movie, but the story was OK and it was surely entertaining.

I just felt to add my comments because the other comments have been so negative.

I have watched much more worse films.

Oh god now they want me to write more about this movie. Well just see it for yourself. It's quite good fun to rent it out on a board night if you have nothing better to watch.

Still they want more lines from me. OK. Go see the movie.

I almost gave up on this movie, it seemed like a drama going nowhere. After almost getting bored with the minimal acting some action kicked in with unexpected humour. Just when the laughs were rolling it turned into a gory horror movie. I gave it what for me is a pretty high rank just because it was able to switch so quickly and keep my attention. If you got an hour and half of hanging out with some friends who are OK with some gory scenes but are not big fans of movies devoted to gore-genre but want a taste of some gore with some humour thrown in then this is the movie for you . Don't watch for an emotionally enriching experience or to be challenged by the plot.

The movie was somewhat slow and I agree with some other posters, that none of the characters were likable.... Though actually I liked Viktor more than the other main characters in this strange triangle.But thats not saying much.Its like saying one likes 8 inches of snow as opposed to a foot of snow. You get my point. The movie did avoid cliché material , which was a good thing. Probably could have used some more gore but it was gory enough. The sound effects when Viktor was doing something to his fingers was spectacular. I wont say anymore about that. The acting, overall was fair. I will point out I liked Kristy Swanson in that part , because it gave one a feeling of realism. She was a bit on the chunky side and it is refreshing to see that in an American movie. I know the Brits are good at having regular folk type people , in the looks department being in their movies. I say give the movie a shot and maybe do some house work with an eye and ear on the movie for the first half hour and buckle in for the last hour.

I agree with the first review, totally.

But I have to remind the previous reviewer that Kristy Swanson was in "Dude, Where's My Car?" and has not totally been off the screens for the past decade.

She does however look ... well, if she were a book, I'd describe her as 'slightly foxed'. Still, she looks better now than she did on the box cover of the 10th anniversary Buffy re-release.

This was a 'blind' viewing for me ... I had no knowledge of the film, other than a glimmer of the plot, and was expecting something of a much lower budget than this ... made for TV perhaps ... so the reason I give it a slightly higher score than the previous reviewer is that it hits a higher level of production value than I was expecting it to.
