Watch Most Likely to Die For Free

Sorry, this movie sucks

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

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 guess the makers of this movie should get a little credit for trying to revive a genre that is pretty dormant in this day and age, that being the slasher genre. But apart from that, I'm hard pressed to think of anything positive to say about "Most Likely to Die". It has many of the same problems that eventually killed the genre in the early 1980s. The movie is incredibly slow and uneventful at a number of points. It takes a long time for the movie to introduce blood and gore - more than a third of the movie, if I recall correctly. (And most of the gore effects aren't worth the wait to see.) The characters are incredibly stupid and obnoxious, so much so that there is no suspense to see them stalked and killed, only relief in seeing these repulsive people exit the movie before they irk us further. And it's a bit sad to see actor Jake Busey, who once was cast in more prestigious movies, now down to doing a two scene cameo in a really cheap production. Quite simply, this is one of the worst slashers you will ever see. It doesn't even have camp appeal.

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.
