Living Death (2006)

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Fresh and Exciting

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The movie was somewhat slow and I agree with some other posters, that none of the characters were likable.... Though actually I liked Viktor more than the other main characters in this strange triangle.But thats not saying much.Its like saying one likes 8 inches of snow as opposed to a foot of snow. You get my point. The movie did avoid cliché material , which was a good thing. Probably could have used some more gore but it was gory enough. The sound effects when Viktor was doing something to his fingers was spectacular. I wont say anymore about that. The acting, overall was fair. I will point out I liked Kristy Swanson in that part , because it gave one a feeling of realism. She was a bit on the chunky side and it is refreshing to see that in an American movie. I know the Brits are good at having regular folk type people , in the looks department being in their movies. I say give the movie a shot and maybe do some house work with an eye and ear on the movie for the first half hour and buckle in for the last hour.

Living Death is a poorly done movie. The acting is okay, but thats about it.The suspense and horror part of it sucks though, and there isn't much to work with. The script just isn't that great, and it seems like it was thrown together within just a few days. It is basically your average, trashy B-movie. If you like anyone in the cast, sure, rent it, and if you like cheesy horror films then you will like it. With the exception of those things, its a movie you should skip. (my rating)Rated R for strong bloody violence, language and some drug content

I was really hoping this movie was gonna be better then it was.And the sound quality sucked.It was way too quiet and I had to turn the volume up high,and then without warning it got extremely loud and then quiet again. The description sounded good but the movie was too B rated for my taste.And what was with all the stupid gay remarks,this was unnecessary and wasn't funny.The script sucks whoever wrote it.I especially hated the ending.I was angry Elizabeth (the wife) didn't die.I read that Victor was supposed to hatch a wild plot to destroy and get even with the bitch and her lover,well it wasn't the case.I just hated how the cheating wife did away with her husband at the end.She was also in on the plot against him.Kristy Swanson really annoyed me in this movie and I was waiting for her to also die a gruesome death. It started out almost like a comedy then got interesting,then got demented & gory, and finally ended very bad. It did have it's good moments.I liked the quirky drug dealer.And the scenes in the morgue were funny.Graphically the movie was good with good makeup,but the plot was just bad.It could have been so much better.

Living Death: 5 out of 10: If you ever wondered what Body Heat 2 would look like if remade this year and having Kathleen Turner reprising her original role this movie may clue one in? Kristy Swanson hasn't spent much time on the big screen since the mid-nineties and she looks like she has been eating a lot of her namesakes Hungry Man dinners. Don't get me wrong she is attractive as a full-figured woman it simply was a bit disconcerting after not seeing her for a dozen years or so. She certainly hasn't spent that time fine tuning her thespian craft however as she is defiantly the acting weak point in this little drama.The plot has Shannon Tweed/ Tim Matheson written all over it. Abusive do nothing playboy husband is killed by suffering wife and his best friend/lawyer who is now her lover. Only problem is that they choose a poison that if given in the wrong dose only causes the person to appear dead. D'oh.He comes back and gets revenge on everyone who wronged him. Sounds like your very standard erotic thriller except it isn't.There is no nudity and virtually no sex. The only bondage is the decidedly non-erotic leg breaking kind. This is a straight up horror movie and it puts the pedal to the metal.Main lead Greg Byrk captures our evil protagonist's hedonism perfectly. (The scene where he snorts coke while playing videogames is a classic.) The revenge isn't fair or just it is bloody and cruel.This creates a great vibe in the film as the only guy to root for is a remarkably unlikable rogue. In fact the film has virtually not one likable hero style character giving an almost Bad Santa feel to the proceedings.The film picks up the pace about halfway through and never lets go. Not a great film or a genre classic by any means but certainly an entertaining horror film.
