Living Death


Composer: Brad Ketchen
This movie really got to me. I was so bothered by it I had to stop it three times. Not that it is overly gory, as most of the film is about finding a body, but the fact that this could happen in real life! That's what bothers me. Watching movies that have events that could actually happen! Uggh! This is definately a cringe worthy film and I'd suggest it to anyone who wants to be in total deress through the entire thing.
Spoiler Alert: Living Death is actually pretty slow to begin with. It introduces two characters, the abusive, cheating sadomasicistic husband, and the blonde trophy wife. The husband is rich by inheirtance, while the wife...well she's cheating on him with his best friend and lawyer. A plot to kill the husband backfires and of course! He comes back for revenge of the goriest sort.
No you don't love any of these characters, which actually makes it easier to watch. However it's slow as hell after the first five minutes where a woman is put on a rack (As sex play) and her knee-cap is broken by accident. After this, we see how poorly the wife is treated, we learn of her affair, and a plot to do some killing. The next half hour to fourty minutes, maybe even longer is wasted on alot of bullshit. This is unneeded as we, the viewer, already know that the husband is going to come back to do some much needed revenge killing.
This movie started picking up when the paralyzed, but still alive! man started getting cut into. Have you seen intesteins lately? No. Well you'll see them here. After we find out he's alive, the hapless medical students (Whom I seem to have failed to mention up to this point) try to bury him. And so ensues the gore! Alright for some fun killings! I'd like to see you put a scalpel through a pair of glasses.
Killing the cheating wife and bastard friend is next.
Over all, I really enjoyed this film. It genuienly bothered me, and I will probably have trouble walking the whole hundred meters to my dorm room tonight. The acting was done well, however, other critics give this little known film a poor rating. That's just unfair! It looked good and realistic, and damn did it give me the chills!
Over all, I give this film an 8/10
Best Killing: Arms ripped from torso via rack! 8/10
Best Death: Guts spilled to the floor. Huzzah! 6/10
