Abysmal. This film makes Nine Dead (2010) look like an absolute masterpiece. Easily the worst of the chained up in a room films. No story at all and incredibly cheap. The villain looks like he walked in from Land Of Doom (1986). Upon seeing his getup, I was convinced this might be a parody of sorts. Nope. If you are a fan of Michael Madsen...you may be disappointed. Madsen exhibits a stellar example of "phoning it in" that doesn't even qualify as acting. His paycheck was likely the biggest part of the budget and not money well spent. I mentioned that there is no story. They don't even try to tell any sort of story. Vague hints are dropped but nothing is explained, even in a skeletal manner. It's literally a string of tropes unconvincingly stitched together. Chained up people mutilate themselves at the behest of a mysterious villain. That is the story. Idiot detective characters pad the run time. I'm aware that it's a common and lazy insult to say a movie seems like it was written by juveniles. This one genuinely feels like it was written by and for sixth graders based on Saw tropes. The one positive? The practical gore effects were occasionally serviceable. Sure, some were of the "squirty kinfe" variety....but the effects department, in general, seemed to at least try. It's still not enough to recommend this film except as an example of how not to make a movie.

All you really have to know to rate this movie is that it has Michael Madsen in it. He's one of those actors who fell into the abyss and will be in anything that he can get a paycheck for. That said, he's usually the best actor in the cast, and that's no exception here. Nonetheless, the main female character isn't bad, and I could see her doing something of a more serious nature. 'The warden' performs acceptably as well. Most of the others are comically bad, but that adds to the entertainment value of the film, as does the gore.

This is not high art, but it provides enough gore to keep it entertaining for fans of gore horror (of which I am one). I've seen other movies of this genre that try to concentrate on storytelling, and they are miserable failures.

So go into this with expectations of what a movie titled 'Death Count' would be, and you likely won't find it a complete waste of time. I've seen far worse.

Not well made at all, poor in every way imaginable. I wish I did not watch this, this has all been done before just way better.. A little research to find that this is a film that was obviously funded through indiegogo, because no one who is legitimate in the industry would give their money to this production company Mahal Empire. Horrible.

I got about 40 minutes into this movie before I couldn't take it anymore. It's bad. I don't mind the torture/gore genre but there has to be at least an attempt at a story and there isn't. It's just people being tortured via subpar special effects, horrible dialogue and seemingly no point. The acting is also some of the worst I've seen in quite awhile.

Don't bother with this one.

All i can say is now we know why there's a teacher shortage. 🤷‍♀️

Really though they call this acting? Best line was "he'd say three times two times nothing" or something like that. The "cops" are actually probably somewhat like the real cops in how they are on the job, though.

This movie is the most modern cheesy movie Ive seen. Didn't know stuff this bad passed the level of student film anymore.

Seriously, its like none of the actors have ever been in pain before. They severely underact with regards to being injured. I have nothing else to say other than watch this if you want a good ol' 21st century chuckle.
