Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

slasherstudios Remember when horror movies were fun? Back in the 1980's, all you needed was a masked killer, some somewhat attractive teens (saying "hot" may be a bit of an overstatement), and a couple of buckets of blood. Mix these ingredients in the cinematic slasher blender and out came a slasher flick worthy to show your friends. Today's horror world is a different place. In the world of found footage horror, cheap just is never cheap enough. Why pay for a couple of gallons of blood when a door can slam shut several times for a "scary" effect? Yawn. This is not the horror that I grew up with and it is certainly not the horror that I am proud of today. Am I the only one who misses the classic era of slashers in which the filmmakers just wanted the audience to have a good time? Clearly, judging by tonight's film, I am not. From directors Michael Hoffman Jr and Aaron T. Wells comes the delightfully entertaining "Girls Gone Dead." If ever there was a cinematic valentine to the 80's slasher, it is this film."Girls Gone Dead" starts off a little rough as we meet our main girl (A.K.A. the "pure" one) Rebecca (Katie Peterson who reminds me of a prettier and more talented Tara Reid) having a nightmare involving a sacrifice in a church. The girl who is to be sacrificed is not pure and must be killed to rid the world of evil. Thankfully, Rebecca wakes up from this nightmare to be confronted by her mother who is terrified that her weekend vacation with "the girls" will turn into an orgy of sin (shades of "Carrie" & "Slumber Party Massacre II" here). Of course her mother is right and Rebecca and the girls plan to drink as much as possible, get naked, and find some guys. What Rebecca and pals don't know is someone has come along for the ride slashing each and every one of the girls, and the guys they meet along the way, until all the "evil" has been cleansed from the world.This is the kind of film that many will either love or hate. The acting is a bit all over the map with many of the girls hired more for their ability to take over their tops than deliver their lines. The film is far too long at 102 minutes and it takes to take its sweet time getting to its final reveal. Also, speaking of final reveals, this has to be one of the most predictable whodunit slashers that I have seen in recent memory. If you don't figure out the killer from the second this character walks on screen, you haven't seen enough horror movies.So, what works about this film? Everything else! We get some ooey gooey slasher deaths with more blood on screen than all of the Saw sequels combined. This killer is brutal. We are talking multiple decapitations, a cut off breast, multiple amputations, and that's just in the first half of the movie! Thankfully most of the effects are practical so there is no obvious CGI to put a wet blanket on the gore. Though the CGI does rear its ugly head in the final death scene and the result is...not terrible, I guess. Need more reasons to watch this slasher? How about cameos that include Jerry "The King" Lawler as a sheriff, Beetlejuice & Stockbroker Sal from "The Howard Stern Show", Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain, porn legend Ron Jeremy, and, in my favorite cameo, the "Queen of the B's" Linnea Quigley as bartender Wild Willie. A blast from beginning to end, this is the kind of movie that just puts a smile on my face. Whether you rent it from the breasts, the blood, or maybe a combo of the two, you are sure to have a great time with "Girls Gone Dead." Have fun with it, it looks like everyone who made it did!

gary_siegel40 Originally I purchased this DVD after hearing about it on the Howard Stern show. I have been a huge fan of Beetlejuice for over a decade and figured.. why not? Little did I know... Girls Gone Dead was an amazing film and exactly what is MISSING from movies today. As an 80s kid growing up, I loved the old silly horror/comedy movies. Slasher flicks with T & A that never took themselves too seriously. This is exactly what I found with Girls Gone Dead. The story is fun, the girls are beautiful (and topless often), and what an interesting cast! Beetlejuice, Ron Jeremy, and WWE wrestling legend Jerry "The King" Lawler?! The film's lead and drop dead gorgeous (no pun intended) Katie Peterson did a fantastic job with the role. I swear I laughed a lot and had no idea who was doing the killing. Check out this movie! What beats hot girls, bloody gruesome killing, hot girls (again), and BEETLEJUICE! My favorite film of 2012.

johnmorghen Another slasher film, you say? Yes, it is... but, it's much more.The teaming of director Michael Hoffman and writer Meghan Jones-Hoffman deliver their slickest work to date here, presenting an amalgam of slasher horror, sex comedies and jabs at contemporary culture... with bite! Personally, I dig that sort of thing.Here are some of the high points for me:1) Sal & Beetlejuice are worth the price of admission alone (check their behind-the-scenes antics in the DVD supplemental, as well).2) Katie Peterson in the lead. Peterson has a lot going for her and reminds one of vintage Nicole Eggert... which is a definite plus.3) Newcomer Shea Stewart. Is this really her first film? She puts the 'pretty' in pretty damn good.4) Major kudos to Marcus Koch for providing some truly impressive special make-up effects.5) Jerry Lawler giving his finest performance since his days with Andy Kaufman.5) And, last, but certainly not least... Nicko McBrain croons country!With elements like that, you just can't lose.Give it a quick lick and make it stick!

Josh Hunt The director of Scary Tales, ROT: Reunion of Terror, and Spring Break Massacre brings us his next big movie. Girls Gone Dead features 6 college girls enjoying a getaway spring break vacation, when a masked killed wielding a medieval war hammer and battle axe decides to ruin their plans. The film features a "Girls Gone Wild" knock-off known as "Crazy Girls Unlimited", hosted by The Howard Stern Show's own Sal The Stockbroker, and Beetlejuice, where they film girls going "crazy". Everyone involved in this film did an amazing job adding in all the elements to make a campy, T&A comedic thriller, and it pays off. The films quality picture wise, and all the colors are done very nicely, and it's noticeable they put hard work into pulling this movie off. So many great and hilarious cameos, great and funny dialogue, LOTS OF T&A for everyone, and is just an overall phenomenal spring break slasher film.I give it 5 out of 5 stars. If you're a fan of campy horror, or horror/thrillers in general, you're going to have a good time with this film!
