Bleed

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

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?

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.

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.

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.
