This review is from: Left for Dead (DVD)
Basically, it stunk. The DVD cover made it look like it might be really good. But I had a hard time making it to the end, and felt tempted many times to hit the "Stop" button and almost fell asleep during some of the slow moronic scenes. It came off not like a movie, but more like a bad horror music video, but without the music and loaded with incoherent freeze-frame scenes. Makers of "Thriller" need not worry.Now what made me watch it then, aside from the DVD cover? Well, Victoria Maurette is hot. I kinda liked the final tag line, something like "Vengence will exist until there is no reason for it anymore", as Maurette shoots dead the "can't die" bad guy ghost vengence-killer, after he kills off all the evil prostitutes. There was a kernel of an idea for a story in there somwhere but it got mangled up and trashed in all that junk of a movie.

"Left for Dumb" or "Best Leave This One Alone",

This review is from: Left for Dead (DVD)
While it doesn't surprise me that awful movies like this get made (I guess high school kids need hobbies too), it does amaze me that they somehow get distributed. Having never made a movie myself, I now take great comfort in knowing that if I ever decide to take up movie making as a hobby, ANYBODY can now make one. Thank God for NetFlix! I would have been REALLY peeved if I had purchased this turd and wasn't able to get my money back. I mean it looked interesting enough as a Western/horror movie, but the DVD cover is the most exciting thing about "Left for Dead". The style of this movie is unlike anything I've ever seen, and that's not a good thing. The filmmaker thought it might be a neat idea to insert a freeze frame at the end of the scenes...every scene. I don't know if this was done for dramatic effect or to make the movie last longer. If you remove all of the freeze frames, you could probably whittle this mess down to a solid 45 minutes.In all fairness, I only made it about 50 minutes into the movie, so the rest of the film might very well be brilliant, but I'll never know. All I know is that an hour of my life is now gone, and so one star is far too kind. Oh yeah, the story. A bunch of European looking prostitutes in an old Mexican mining town freak out and kill everybody (pre-movie storyline). The town preacher sells his soul in the hope of one day having revenge on the evil prostitutes. Yup. I guess the fact that the crazy prostitutes aren't a bunch of naked hotties is uncharacteristic for a movie like this. This movie (or at least the first 50 agonizing minutes) had no nudity, which is fine because the last thing I want to see is a bunch of naked sea-hags running around. The movie begins 15 years after the prostitutes killing spree and goes downhill from there. There's something about a jilted lover and the pregnant daughter of the prostitute leader. I won't go into detail, because even though this was probably the worst movie I've ever seen, I don't like to give away spoilers. If you want to know more about this movie, you must suffer like I did and watch it. The other reviews give this movie 5 stars. Don't believe a single one of those reviews!! There is NO WAY that anybody could give this thing 5 stars!! Though the other reviewers say they are not the makers of the movie, there's a good chance they are probably the director's proud parents. Some bad movies are fun to watch and this is not one of them. Bad acting, bad script, bad effects, and dumb story don't equal good B-movie. This movie is no Plan 9 From Outer Space and will NEVER be a classic, despite what its own marketing claims. If you must watch this movie, do so at your own risk and rent it...but you've been warned. (This movie was so bad that I was compelled to write this review from my cell phone.)

watchable. freeze frames gave me a headache,
This review is from: Left for Dead (DVD)
Watchable western genre. in the vein of the jonah hex film. not sure on budget but ok especially for comic book fans. freeze frame action was unexplainably used often and gave me a headache.
