For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
This movie is cliche, of course, It has been done repeatedly since Agatha Christie's Ten Little Indians. But, I kind of liked it. The acting was not B movie acting, I think each of these actors have potential. And the girl who plays Gabby. Heather Morris (Brittany from Glee) is really good in it. I looked on here to see what else she has done and am disappointed that most of her movies seem alike. I think if she were given a good movie, she could be a sought after actress.
I had literally just finished watching Scary movie, and this popped up as a suggestion so I gave it a try. On comparison Scary Movie was more realistic, better acted, and had a much tighter plot. It's like the writer had gotten drunk, started reading Agatha Christie's And then there were none, and thought up the most silly costume they could. I am so sad to see this genre of movie go down the pan, The Scream and I know what you did last Summer films were so good, this dire attempt at a film seemed to try and recreate that feeling, but failed miserably. The acting was dire, Perez Hilton's scream at finding Ashleigh was like something out of a first year School drama production. It actually looks pretty good, the cameraman and editing team did a good job at least. A sad reminder at how good the slasher genre used to be.
I certainly understand the amount of negative reviews and overall attitude of disdain for this film. Most Likely to Die really is a bad movie. The plot is contrived and silly, replete with all of the slasher clichés. The cinematography is adequate at best, the lighting is horrible. The acting ranges from serviceable to downright laughable (don't get me started on Perez Hilton). So why, despite all of these drawbacks, did I enjoy this film? One word: nostalgia. Most Likely to Die is a hardcore throwback to the cheesy slasher flicks of the 80's. Every single aspect of this film, other than the outfits and music, screams 80's slasher. Even the plot is a direct reference to, if not a ripoff of, the 1986 horror film Slaughter High (also known as April Fool's Day). Most Likely to Die is a direct descendant of these legendary films, much more so than most modern slashers that also recycle the usual tropes. It's really sort of a guilty pleasure. If you're looking for anything other than a corny throwback, throw this one right out the window.
Most Likely To Die was not given a cinematic release. To me, it is evidence that internet distribution can be a very good thing - as I would have hated to have disturbed other cinema patrons by constantly screaming "F*** you" at the screen, which happened quite frequently during this trash.What could have been an intriguing, or at least entertaining, slasher flick is squandered on a nonsensical script, infuriatingly bad dialogue and some of the worst acting I've ever seen in a horror film. The characters react to finding the mutilated corpses of their friends the way most people would react to finding a moth on the ceiling.Of all the actors that I passionately hated, the crème de la crème is supporting actor Perez Hilton, who couldn't support a ladder. His acting failed to convince me he was a human being, and I haven't wished for a character's demise so much since his namesake Paris Hilton's turn in House of Wax.The term half-baked would be generous for this one. Instead, the ingredients are all over the floor and the mixing bowl has been smashed.
