It's very true that you get what you pay for. And this
movie was cheap as all hell! But hey, If Julie Strain is in it, you know it
was made on a shoestring budget and that it will have lots of tits. Check
one...aaaand...*ticks box* check two. Bleed is one of those movies that you
buy because you KNOW its gonna be bad...and because you like that kind of bad. And
you all know me - feed me that cheese. And believe me I gots me a huge hunk
of limburger with this one.
Bleed was made in the year 2002, and after reading a review for it on Arrow
in the Head I felt that I needed to track it down. Amazon weren't distributing it yet, neither were a lot of other
DVD retailers, and since it was highly unlikely that it was ever
going to be released in Australia, I had to keep an eye peeled for a
copy, so when one popped up on eBay I went all out to win the auction -
didn't take much considering there weren't many people out there who actually
knew what it was.
Bleed is the story of Maddy - the new girl in a new town starting a new job. She
starts to make friends through her also new boyfriend Chris, but there's
something a little strange about her new pals. During a party (make sure
you keep an ear out for some classic lines such as "I wanna see her
tits!") she finds out exactly what that is. Chris and his friends are
part of a Murder Club, where the members kill people for kicks...Maddy finds
this a little strange - but then again she is highly disturbed (the scene of
her throwing a party for herself is awesome) and will do anything to impress
her new man and his friends, but when the Murder Club Members start being murdered themselves, which one could it be?
The acting is bad - its typical B Movie trash, there is a lot left
unexplained. But there are a few surprising little twists to make the ride a
little more fun. I enjoyed it, but then again, I'm a cinematic masochist. I
watched American Psycho 2. Every last minute of it. Thank Christ I don't
own it...I'd be booking myself straight into Arkham!
Plenty of gore, although it did look cheap and nasty, it was there
in abundance. I like that in a movie. Smashed head, gutted, stabbed, slit
throat, and my personal fave, the chick in the parking lot having her head
exploded against a concrete pylon. Weak points were the guy dying of an axe
wound to the shoulder (This is a movie right? - Where's the call of
"Its just a flesh wound!"?) and that pussy ass electrocution.
Worst death ever. Oh yeah and thumbs down to the blonde for not getting her girls out. Disappointed, I was.
Great cameos by Brinke Stevens and Lloyd Kaufman as Maddy's parents. Julie
Strain appears briefly and manages to have her norks out the entire time.
Top form! A great "drunk" movie. Enjoy!!
