A Brilliant Conflict

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

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

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

Back in the good old days, black blood in a color movie generally was reserved for zombies. (Zombies with embalmed bodies sometimes had green blood, apparently on the theory that formaldehyde resembles classic anti-freeze.) In LEFT FOR DEAD, director Albert Pyun seems to arbitrarily alternate between black and the red traditionally associated with living mammals. In like manner, he randomly shifts between focusing on a love triangle featuring a mom-to-be and a mom carrying her still-born baby around with her for days in a bag, and a demon bent on revenging his own ripped-from-the-womb babe from 15 years earlier. This is NOT as bad a flick as those rating it a "1" make out, but it certainly is not a "9" or "10," either.P.S.--I may not have seen a movie shot in Argentina before, but it tastes just like chicken.

This movie is so horrible i felt compelled to sign up to IMDb just to say how bad it was. I watched this film on a preview disc, and cannot imagine why anyone would think it needs previewing. Don't get me wrong, it is a must-see, as it is extremely entertaining. Of the 120 minutes of the film, at least 15 minutes are spent in freeze frame, sometimes even while the character is still speaking. The CGI used is groundbreaking, and the 5 minute flashback sequence at the end is a real tearjerker. At one point the CGI even manages to extend beyond the widescreen ratio of the film. A definite must-see for anyone who loves the 2 dollar DVD bargain bin in Go-Lo.

Okay, I wasn't going to give it a 1 originally, but seeing as people on the crew have come on here and given it 10 ratings, I have to strike a balance.The plot, if you want to call it that, is that this band of prostitutes slaughter all the decent folk in town out of retaliation for a preacher having a fling with one of them. The Preacher renounces God, and is trapped as a vengeful spirit killing anyone unlucky enough to wander into the town looking for gold.Meanwhile, the prostitutes set up a lesbian-American community outside of town, until a woman looking for her husband wanders into their camp, and they agree to follow him into the town because he knocked up one of their number.The whole movie is a convoluted mess, with a lot of violence against women, (where are angry feminists when you really need them?) The male hero for some inexplicable reason, speaks half his lines in Spanish, and yet everyone can understand him. More mysteriously, they put subtitles on half his English lines as well, probably because he garbled his dialog so badly you couldn't understand him, anyway. Not that his female co-stars do any better.Oh, yeah, and all the women have dirt on them. I guess no one bathed in 1895. They're dirty, dirty girls.Really, you should avoid this film. I wish I had.

Saw an advance copy of this film which comes out next month. Good lord what a mind trip. It's both beautifully affecting and horribly shocking. I haven't seen a film with so much intense pain and love in a long time. It just gets under your skin then chews into your heart. The story is a ghost story and as it is with most ghost stories, tragedy is at it's core. The actors in this film are so vivid that they didn't seem to be acting, especially the main one Victoria Maurete. Her acting is so powerful that I could feel what she was going through. I haven't seen her before but damn was she moving and beautiful. Those eyes of hers are unreal. I won't give away much because surprising revelations is what pushes this story forward. But be forewarned that this is a very intense and original western. I loved it.
