Bleed

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.

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.

I thought that this movie was actually good. I am a fan of a lot of things that are in this movie like: gore, Debbie Rochon, Lloyd Kaufman, and so on. Debbie was real great in this film(as she all ways is). She really makes her roles belivable. I thought that Lloyd Kaufman was f*cking hilarious. This was the best thing ive seen from full moon in a long time. So if you like the older full moon films (like puppet master, dollman, traNCERS) you love this. If you like Troma movies, you'll probaly love this too.

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.

Odd slasher movie from Producer Charles Band. In the days of Full Moon's greatest success Band said that he would never make "real killer films" because he felt that little puppets and big monsters added a fantasy element that made the films better - people killing each other is thus real and less fun. A nice philosophy and a true shame that Band, having destroyed the Full Moon studio through possible shoddy business dealings became so desperate for home cinema profits that he started making exactly what the likes of Blockbuster wanted and therefore sacrificed creativity and originality. The team behind this one also worked on 'Delta Delta Die!' and 'Birth Rite' - both equally bland by Full Moon standards. Debbie Rochon is on usual top form here as a newbie to a gang of dudes and dudettes who decide to make up a story about a 'murder club'. She - as one would obviously - does all she can to join and then panic sets in because it was not a true story and silly Ms Rochon believed it and now everybody will have to run around getting covered in blood and maybe killing each other or maybe not. The choice is there's and with regard to this movie its yours...not recommended but not entirely bad either.
