Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
View More.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
View MoreKnew it would be dross before I even put the thing on. Complete waste of time & extremely boring throughout. The characters/acting is so awful you're actually glad when they get bumped off. Avoid.
View More'Most Likely to Die' drew me into seeing it, with a cool poster/cover, an intriguing and quite creative premise and as someone with a general appreciation for horror. That it was low-budget, which from frequent personal experience is rarely a good sign due to that there are so many poor ones out there, made me though apprehensive. It is sadly however yet another film seen recently, hence some reiteration because the exact same strengths and flaws are here present in those films, that to me was incredibly disappointing considering its potential which it doesn't do anywhere near enough with. 'Most Likely to Die' is terrible, with a plethora of problems (huge ones too) and doesn't do enough with its potential, which was hardly small. There is very little to recommend, but still a couple of qualities in 'Most Likely to Die'.Lets start with the positives. The scenery is atmospheric and spooky, despite the rather direct to video schlocky way it's generally shot (apart from the odd nice one) and edited, it was very clear that the film was made in a rush with no care or enthusiasm. Best thing about 'Most Likely to Die' actually is the ending when the film finally gets intriguing, even then it feels too little too late.Going on further to the negatives, the story does feel over-stretched and some of it feels vague, under-explained in the last third where the film especially became duller, more predictable, more senseless and less scary and never gaining momentum. Too many characters are too sketchy and with nowhere near enough to make one want to endear to them. Their annoying and illogical decision making and behaviours frustrates. Making the film feel bland and forgettable with not enough heart put into it. The effects are ropy at best, the sound quality is obvious and utilised cheaply (being too loud in the build ups and people's reactions) and all of the acting is lacking, especially from Perez Hilton. For a slasher, there are far too little kills and slasher elements and none are creative or scary.Dialogue can be stilted and rambling while the pace and film drags on forever, never recovering until finally getting intriguing to the ending. Found too many the supposedly shocking moments not surprising or scary and the supposedly creepy atmosphere dreary, due to the excessive obviousness, a lot of dumb and vague moments and explanations and the lack of tension and suspense. A lot of 'Most Likely to Die' has underdeveloped plot elements and often nonsensical and confusing character motivations, while too many of the things to make you jump or shocked are far from creative or scary and are pretty tame.There is not enough threat here and what there is of it tends to be used poorly, while the psychological elements are unimaginative and are more odd than scary, completely failing to show any sense of horror. Some badly sagging momentum too. The direction is leaden, got the sense their heart was not in it, and the music doesn't really fit.Concluding, terrible. 2/10 Bethany Cox
View MoreDoes Perez Hilton "act" in any other movies?? He looks like a 70 yr old man who's been choosing cocaine over food for decades. His haggard face makes the young adults having a high school reunion theme highly unlikely. Throughout the movie, he is just loud and overly flamboyant and it's awful. The movie was bad, but Hilton made it irredeemable. This isn't even a b horror film. The deaths were tacky. What exactly was the plot. There is mention of a kid that is bullied while the throw back some beers and that's it. they have this character who sold alcohol (Last name is Busey, and by those big choppers he is definitely related to Gary Busey) who had no purpose in the movie and didn't serve to add to the plot at all. I just can't get over how awful Hilton was...
View MoreSlasher flick Most Likely To Die features a pretty cool killer: clad in graduation gown and cap, face hidden by a papier-mâché mask constructed from cuttings from an old yearbook, he kills his victims using the sharp edges of his mortar board (throwing it on occasion like Oddjob in Goldfinger). When he's not using his hat to kill, he resorts to a retractable craft knife to cut throats. This means that there are some pretty decent death scenes, including one character having her neck severed before being completely decapitated by the maniac (who uses his bare hands to complete the job), and another having a broken hockey stick jammed into his mouth before the obligatory throat slashing.Unfortunately, a memorable psycho and some reasonable gore is about all the film does have going for it. The rest of the film is an exercise in sheer mediocrity, with extremely obnoxious characters, stilted dialogue and mundane action in which the soon-to-be-dead repeatedly split up to put themselves in peril. The cast range from the reasonable to the completely wooden, with celebrity blogger Perez Hilton (as camp alcoholic Freddie) the most unbearable (unsurprisingly). The most recognisable 'proper' actor, Jake Busey, is one of the first to die, ending his suffering way before the viewer's.
