Bleed

It's 2021 and I'm digging through films released through Film 2000 and I happened upon this film. I decided to get it second hand for a few coins. The case was wrecked but I replaced it and fortunately the disc was immaculate. I popped it in knowing and expecting that this would be nothing spectacular.

This isn't a masterpiece of cinema. I knew that going into it. I expected lots of cheesy scenes and dialogue and wasn't disappointed, despite its obvious low budget it actually manages to have a fairly decent story that twists and turns in a way that isn't always predictable. It was actually quite interesting to watch unfold. The gore is passable, you can tell some actual effort went into it, even if it isn't very convincing. I believe with a bigger budget and the right exposure that it could have ended up being a classic.

For me these are minor grips. You can't expect the next Friday 13th from filmakers like these but I tend to rate films based on how entertained I was and I was very entertained.

5/10.

Well I knew this was going to be one of those b horror movies but i love horror and didnt care. since i work for a video store i got it for free. Well it looks pretty good and it has a good build up. the Whole "murder club" thing was quite good and could have done more with that.

**SPOLIERS**

Well you find out there was no murder club, (my first let down) two characters die you dont know anything about (was quite confused) The ending sucked (what happend to maddie when she was in the trunk) and your hero dies!! and the bad guy lives! WTF?? this had a good premise and a great story then they have to go mess with it. Debbie Rochon sure can act and she is soo good in this movie. you really feel for her. she needs to stop doing these stupid made for video movies and do more mainstream stuff. shes quite good. could have been better but with these kinda movies, you really dont expect much from them. nice cameo by Brinke Stevens and Lloyd kaufman as Debbies parents.

The movie was pretty bad. But it had a good looking cast. The girls were hot and so were the guys. Anyways, debbie rochon pulled off another dynamite performance. And I did like the gutting in the first five minutes of the movie. But other than that, it was just poor. 3 out of 10.

A typical cheapie slasher flick, just one step ahead of the indie genre. Scream queen Debbie Rochon plays a woman who is inaugerated by her boyfriend into a murder club and before long the bloody killings soon add up. Lots of splashy gore and nudity here but little in the way of quality or decent acting, although it moves quickly enough to not be one of the worst out there.

This movie should probably suck a lot more than it actually does. It falls apart a bit during the finale, but up until that point, the script is decently plotted even if some of the acting isn't great and the whole movie looks like it was shot on a HandyCam. Debbie Rochon treats it like she's doing Ibsen or Albee and that's why we love her.

Rochon plays a woman estranged from her unsupportive parents (Brinke Stevens and Lloyd Kauffman in tiny roles) who begins dating a guy and is about to meet his friends. Because the guy is an idiot, he makes up a whole plot that his friends go along with about how they belong to a "murder club" where they've each killed someone who made them mad. Rochon is already on shaky ground, mentally, so this murder club idea sounds great to her and she ends up killing someone and telling her boyfriend. Like any normal person, he's horrified and it gets even worse when someone begins to stalk and kill his friends.

For a movie that looks like it cost $300, Bleed is at least pretty engaging for most of its runtime which can't be said of some films with 500 times its budget. If a movie can command your attention, it can't be that bad, right?
