Bleed

You got loves movies like this, now the acting is horrible, and the gore is fake looking and kind of the flashy directing style that barely allows you to see anything. Well, I liked it because it was stupid and had tons of nudity. Woohoo! Rock & Roll.

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?

Maddy (Debbie Rochon) is a mentally unstable young woman with a troubled past who gets more than she bargained for when she goes to a pool party with a handsome coworker. When her date and his friends jokingly say they belong to a `Murder Club,' Maddy takes it seriously and moves straight up to `Level 3' by bashing in the brains of a woman in a parking garage (for denting her car!). But is Maddy also the one donning a plastic mask and killing off other members of the group or has someone else lost it?

The plot of this film (originally titled MAKE 'EM BLEED) is very poorly conceived, full of holes and spirals completely out of control before a ludicrous, out-of-left-field twist ending. Some of the dialogue is downright laughable. I didn't have a problem with Rochon's performance, but the supporting cast was atrocious. However, I managed to sit through this Full Moon release thoroughly entertained. There's plenty of skin and blood and it's the perfect type of flick to sit around with a group of your buddies and pick apart. Horror fans may also enjoy the cameos from Brinke Stevens and Lloyd Kaufman (as Debbie's parents) and Julie Strain (an early victim).

Score: 4 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.

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.
