GL84 While searching for a deadly bandit that happens to be her husband, a woman joins an all-female posse hunting him down and eventually tracks him to a remote mining town haunted by a vengeful ghost intent on not letting them leave alive.While this one wasn't too bad, there's not a lot here to really get much enjoyment out of this one. This is mainly due to the fact that there's just not a whole lot of horror elements to go around, as most of the time it's a Western film, as it's set in the 1880s, for instance, and while that makes a nice impression as to the uniqueness of the setting, it never really does a lot with it's horror elements. The ghost has a few bits of screen-time, which is fine as it's to dish out the kills or chases around the town, but the majority of the time is spent with the group spouting off at each other or an incredibly lame drama about the relationship between them all, and it just makes it hard to stay invested in the middle. Also problematic is the fact that it tends to show-off some pretty nifty camera tricks that are just plain pointless and irritating, from the slow-motion shots to the never-ending series of flash-effects used during the sequences. Add in more gunshots for the cause of death than anything despite some decent deaths when it matters, and it's a disappointing effort overall.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and Nudity.
Hazey_mornin This movie is so horrible i felt compelled to sign up to IMDb just to say how bad it was. I watched this film on a preview disc, and cannot imagine why anyone would think it needs previewing. Don't get me wrong, it is a must-see, as it is extremely entertaining. Of the 120 minutes of the film, at least 15 minutes are spent in freeze frame, sometimes even while the character is still speaking. The CGI used is groundbreaking, and the 5 minute flashback sequence at the end is a real tearjerker. At one point the CGI even manages to extend beyond the widescreen ratio of the film. A definite must-see for anyone who loves the 2 dollar DVD bargain bin in Go-Lo.
heatshiver I like that many people criticize movies, it has helped me when I want to check out a new film. But the underlying part to that is I usually only take the advice of a person I know, so I already know how we compare on different movie genres.I am a film major and it is so easy to say why we don't like a movie, but quite difficult to explain it. I have seen this movie and admit there are parts that are quite bad, but I do think there are also parts that are quite good. For me I would have to say that MOST of the actors were lacking in skill, and the story lacked the build up and support to enforce its climatic goal or intentions. But the direction was good, I liked the composition of most of the shots, and the audio was great.The list could go on about lighting, and other specifics, but I find that I can always see something good in a movie immediately dismissed as garbage. I may not always like the movies I've seen, but I try to understand them.To sum up, don't just tell us a movie sucks, tell us what about it sucks. This may provoke a lot of people to click the "containers spoiler" from now on however.
robintrainor I posted this in the message board but it might help here for those thinking of renting the film.I read this quote by Martin Scorsese discussing a 50's film (Underworld USA?). I think the quote sums up LEFT FOR DEAD too, "the revenge story because everything feels a little bit unreal, both heightened and elemental....diverges sharply from anything even resembling mainstream movie-making--he was through with politeness and any sort of decorum--he had no desire to pull any punches in order to reassure his audiences. He was moving closer to the approach to film-making exemplified by Jean-Luc Goddard in France--direct, impolite, jarring to life with a clash of juxtaposed images and sounds."
