good back-story, and good acting

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

First the story. The Obligatory murders to start things off and then we actually start some proper plot. Here we meet Maddy as she settles into a new job. Starts a relationship with her boss Shawn and later, at a pool party, meets up with more of his friends. There they tell her about the murder club. pretty soon members of this 'Club' are being murdered one by one. It sounds pretty cheesy but there are enough plot twists along the way to make for some interesting viewing.Now onto the characters. First up is Maddy played by the brilliant horror actress Debbie Rochon. She manages to take on a lot of what the script throws at her. Unfortunately the rest of the cast isn't as credible. The only exception is Danny Wolske who plays Maddy's boyfriend Shawn, he plays the role well and is credible. Allen Nabours (Chris) is annoying. Orly Tepper (Tilly) is okay but forgettable. Ronnie Gene Whatever (Peter) and Laura Nativo (Who cares) also play bland and instantly forgettable characters. There's also some nice cameos by Julie Strain, Brinke and Lloyd Kaufmann. Julie acts with her breasts, Lloyd acts up and is unintentionally funny. Brinke does well though with her Cameo.The camera and lighting are standard for low budget and nothing really to write home about. However during some moments (door crash) it seems to get quite blurry.The script is written in a very confusing way. It constantly attempts to be more than the usual horror/slasher movie by trying to focus more on the varying relationships between that characters. However the relationships are mostly either boring or unrealistic. One example is Shawn telling Maddy 'This isn't you... I know you'. This line comes part though the movie. But they have only been going out for less than a week! In which they have had a small date, had sex and both went to a pool party. Thats it.Actually on the subject of the pool party the whole scene seems to serve little reason but to show the various actresses nude and the various actors nude with tit flashes, butt reveals a peek-a-boo penis shots. I was squirming throughout the whole scene.The body count is pretty good. Lots of blood is used in many of of deaths and it attempts to try impressive and original deaths throughout. However there are problems. One or two deaths show some bad effects and one in particular is very stupid (Girl stays in pool for what seems like ages as the killer moves forward very slowly to throw in a wire to electrocute her).Overall this is good at a budget price or to rent. Watch though once and then leave alone.Good Points: Debbie Rochon and Danny Wolske excel in the acting. Lots of gore and nudity for genre fans.Bad points: The odd poor effect, some bad acting and a bizarre plot full of holes.

Another case of a decent DVD case betraying the shot-on-video quality of the film. It wasn't that bad. Rochon does a serviceable job and Damn! the cast is good looking. I've never seen that many musclebound guys hang out together on a regular basis. This movie really wanted to make you think Rochon was the killer, but it was not to be. My biggest problem with the film was that by the end, I didn't much care who was the killer, and the real killer made little sense, since it was out of the blue and the filmmakers were thinking 'ha, betcha didn't see that one coming, sucker!'. Yeah, there were continuity errors about (mainly with ms. Rochon's ever-changing wardrobe), but for an indie slasher it's not that bad. I was pretty sure at the beginning it was just a thinly veiled excuse for girls to go topless, but that was just a gimmick. The dialog was overly think and painful at times.Just don't have high expectations going into this, and it won't be that bad. And Lloyd Kaufman's cameo is wonderfully understated.

The movie was pretty bad. But it had a good looking cast. The girls were hot and so were the guys. Anyways, debbie rochon pulled off another dynamite performance. And I did like the gutting in the first five minutes of the movie. But other than that, it was just poor. 3 out of 10.

~Spoiler~I can't believe I liked this movie. Bleed stars Debbie Rochon and was produced by Full Moon's own Charlie Band. That right there does not heighten my expectations for a hit. It had the cheesy cover art and the no-name cast of attractive people too. However, the effects were old fashioned, the nudity was gratuitous, and the opening credits were cool. The ending was also very excellent. The killer wins and that's what makes the movie a success. Julie Strain, Brinke Stevens, and Lloyd Kaufman cameo.
