Review

Don't go down to the lake! These kids were warned just like the teenagers in Friday the 13th, but do you think they ll listen...Hell no! A group of college kids end up on a trip from hell in Texas when they come upon a whole community built on stealing cars and selling the parts. Well what s a person to do when you get the beautiful set of wheels worth a mint and then there s that pesky person or people who came in it! Simple, you just end up chopped yourself. The Dead Don't Scream was a lot different that I had thought it would be and that is good, it s nice to see something somewhat different for a change. I thought it would be a slasher running around picking people off one by one, that s not the case here. Callie talks her cute blonde cousin Tyler into going with them so they can catch up- they are very close, and always have been. As soon as they get to the lake two hoochie mama's come over and tease Tyler about a three some and take him into the woods. Callie goes to find him and meets the dark haired Esteban who she senses is just not right. Later they all wake up in a room with others that have been brought there so workers at the factory can get rid of them and place them on the conveyor belt that led them off to be taken care off.Uncle Buddy runs a tight shift here at the factory, where precious little orca Betsy sits and stuffs her fat face with pretzel after pretzel as her uncle yells out his orders to employees about catching the escaped prisoners before it's to late. A cat and mouse game is executed between workers and escapees and you watch waiting to see the outcome of this horrid situation. The Dead Don't Scream has all the ingredients to keep you into the screen time, like lots of hot young bodies in bathing suits, boobs, and blood- what more could you ask for? I liked when Ava showed the twin land beasts how it was and beats their ass after her stating My turn! Will anyone survive this desperate scene? Or will they all succumb to the fate that is passed onto them for going out to the lake? --Angry Princess-HorrorSociety.com

    Not only am I glad I purchased this film, but I gave several copies to families and friends. It has none of the stereotypes and cliches in the average horror movie. Plots and subplots abound with several surprises. I would highly recommend The Dead Don't Scream to all that want a good horror flick without being disappointed. The music is first rate and adds to the excitement of the scenes. The acting, writing, and directing is very impressive. The Dead Don't Scream is destined to become a horror classic.

    College kids go on a road trip to a place they shouldn't have in this dire little mess of a film. Struggling to think of anything redeeming about this and other than the opening scene of topless sunbathing, I'm coming up with a blank. And that's being generous. Horrid robotic acting and a threadbare plot both could've been forgiven if the film were fun. It's not.

    It's definitely a cheasy skin-flick, but it kept us watching. I bought this on a whim and didn't know what to expect. I showed it at a party last week and it was awesome! Lots of hot girls, gore, and wicked twist at the end. It's a great film.+

    Director Richard Perrin's, The Dead Don't Scream is an independently produced film that serves up a hefty helping of mayhem and gore, as a group of eight friends out for some fun at a lake during spring break, find themselves running for their lives in Grapevine, Texas. The lake is an attraction for the affluent college aged crowd, and a source for an organized group that is interested in stealing luxury cars, and abducting the owners as well. Victims are targeted, incapacitated with a stun rod, and hauled off. Their vehicles are towed away to a chop shop.

    The group of friends all become victims, and find themselves in a large room with a large group of young people, similarly dressed in swimwear. The group doesn't stay in captivity long, and upon bursting loose, they find themselves in an industrial facility, with security personnel that have no qualms about shooting on sight, or slitting some throats. It's a deadly game of run and hide for the victims, who are hunted by a staff that seems to regard slaughter as a routine part of the workday. In back of it all, is a crotchety codger with a particular sense of humor named Uncle Buddy, the leader of a diversified family run business with a very hard and bloody bottom line.

    This film kind of sweeps you along, in part because after a parade of characters, you don't quite know where to focus your attention. You may still be disoriented, when the group is abruptly running for their lives, and total chaos breaks loose. Not a lot makes sense, but it's really not meant to, the point is to see people getting massacred. This may be a low budget feature, but the special effects are done rather well, with throat slitting, and shotgun blasts to the head and body being the highlights.

    There are elements of humor, but they are mostly associated with weird assortment of characters involved in the business, and members of the local police force. To Uncle Buddy and his employees, the victims are literally just meat for the slaughter. Some of the victims do such dumb and unrealistic things, that it makes it hard to root for them. The cast appears to be made up of newcomers (including members of director Perrin's family), and the lack of experience is evident. The star of the movie is Taylor Chadwell as Callie, with Trey Caldwell as Tyler perhaps running second. Charles Martin is Uncle Buddy, and Rick Allen Rhodes is the local sheriff.

    Not to be taken too seriously, The Dead Don't Scream is a mixture of swimwear clad victims, violence, campy humor, carnage, subpar acting, and annoying dialog. The editing of the final reveal is quite nicely done. Low budget and unpolished it may be, but the sick twisted adventure does provide some shocks, thrills, and a few laughs. Annoyingly, the DVD has no chapter stops! There are a few bonus features, including a behind the scenes featurette, trailer, and music video. The trailer is too long and reveals too much. More like two and a half stars, but worth at least a rental, if massacres are of interest.

    Caitlyn, Jerilyn, Richard are family members. They are pimping their kids to get into movies. Their kids are under 13 years of age and have put them on Facebook. There ought to be a law against underaged kids on Facebook Don't purchase anything that has their names on it.

    Watch it if you dare but if you like a porno type movie with no sex combined with the MTV style of camera work you might like this one if you are dead drunk. Not even so bad it is good but just plain bad.

    I really enjoyed this movie. Everything you expect from a bloody horror film, but with the added bonus of humor and great filming. It's twice as much fun to watch with a group of friends.

    1.0 out of 5 stars give it 20 years before watching it
    Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2009
    this movie, like many other movies, has more ambition than talent behind it. i have a feeling that this movie will be laughably enjoyable just as movies like _karate cop_, _parole violators_, _undefeatable_ & _the desert warrior_ are today... you can find the trailer to this movie & the others online... you'll see what i mean.

    it's sort of like joking about some terrible tragedy too soon after it happened, give it time & you can see the humor in how horrible the movie is.

    Plot. A small town in Texas has one major industry. Stealing cars and chopping up people. A group of college kids are about to pay a visit.
    Film begins with a couple of topless sunbathers who don't last long. The rest of the first act sees us meet and get to know the pretty people and the normal everyday things they get up to. Act two goes horror as we see a lot of prisoners and victims with throats cut, some nice visuals of this happening. A few escape, get caught, get freed. You know the town is serious about its work when we see there's a conveyor belt which carries bodies on it.
    This is a real fun film of a silly story but highly entertaining. Besides the knifings a few folks get shot and we see one very well made up gory victim. I thought it was a good film with passable to good acting, nice set ups, some humorous moments, good action scenes, some blood and gore and I liked it.
    Extras include behind the scenes, music vid and trailer. USA Release but plays Region zero.

    A what could have been another just okay cult but as the plot is about group of friends go on a roadtrip and they get tazarad and prisoned by a load of killers who work for a mafia boss as he wants to kill people for cars and even the sherif is in on it!!
    WTF?? this could become the biggest joke in film history!!!

    I mean who the hell is going to kill people over a few lousy cars?

    whoever wrote the storyline needs a new brain!!

    Okay the only posotives are the twists and some of the violence but everything other is just a tangled confusion of what a horror should have been!!

    if anyone takes such a rediclouis and stupid plot about killers and cars then they should put a tag on the dvd case saying note this is a joke of a film!!!

    and the dead dont scream is a nonsense name!!

    Unfortunately there are far too many people with access to camera equipment who have zero talent but far too much time on their hands. This is absolute dreck.
    The acting has to be seen to believed. I didn't think you could get sub porn levels of acting but having seen this I now know you can.
    The dialogue is excruciating,....was it written by someone who has never heard a proper conversation?
    All copies of this utterly tragic abortion should be rounded up doused in kerosene and set ablaze.
