Summary A group of former classmates gather for a pre-party at one of their homes the night before their 10-year high school reunion, and one-by- one, they are brutally slain in a manner befitting each’s senior yearbook superlative.
The biggest problem with Most Likely to Die, though — beyond it being unimaginative, unfunny and frightless — is that it has no sense of place or time.
Everybody have friends during high school, people that end up have some relationship with, a more shy person, a prankster and the most varied kind of people in the class, it is also pretty normal to have a meeting of the some people of high school after some years to catch up with some of them, this is exactly what happens in this movie, a group of friends from high school go have a reunion in a isolated and big house to have some fun, the thing is that someone end up trying to kill everybody, the thing is that each one of them had a superlative during the old times right at their school photos, and the killer is making sure to kill them right in the way that match with his superlative. Directed by Anthony DiBlasi and written by Laura Brennan. The story of this movie is a bit of a flaw, because for this kind of movie to work well, you first need to like or at least care for some or even one of those characters quite much, otherwise the deaths will have no impact on whoever is watching, but a lot of slasher movies do this, it normally isn't that good, but it keeps you watching because the possibility for nice moments when the killer is doing his job, in some movies this work well in hold the public, does this happen here ? Well, surely the characters aren't very well develop in a point to make you care about them, they do have some conversations that really make you know them a bit, but in some of them it is a real fail, like you just don't believe in what the character is saying, in other moments, it don't feel like that does reflect in the character personality, the good is that they aren't all unilateral and stereotyped, they do have a sense of normality, you really believe that they are possible friendships. The movie try to imput there friendship in some moments with a fast talk, some of these moments work and some are just ridiculously boring and nonsense, they talking about school at their first met is a simple invite for you to stop watching, but in other hand, there are some good talks, that get you to know some characters, somethings that happened in their lifes, that is good and important for you to at least believe that those people exist. While the movie became that cliche, where there are some people locked in a confinemente with someone that they don't know trying to kill everybody, it actually gets better, they could create a, again, cliche, but ok flight killer ambience that could get me thrilled in some times, abou that, they did a ok job on creating scary aspects and scary moments, they aren't uniques, but definely functional. At the very end we got a revelation, like a double plot twist, that i'm not sure how one of these worked out, it maybe could have been better explained or just don't make much sense, it is like you find out who a main aspect on the story, while none of them do, but the movie try to put in some other way, but them it come again and put you back on where it already was. It also is very predictable in some points. The killer himself is pretty dope, i definely liked him, visually he was great, i though it very creative to put a scholarship suit on him considering the context of the story, and it also looked very nice, his atacks was interesting, he definely had some different characteristic of other slasher, but he nowhere close of the classic ones, don't have much screen time and not enough unique characteristics, he have one kill that was really surprising, and that's it, but in some times he could really help on creating a nice ambience of horror. The acting of this movie overall is kind of simple for the actors, the most complicated role was definely from Heather Morris, that they put her to interpret one of the top poker players of the world, there is one moment that she is playing with her friends and she try to do that concentration face, less expression face that pokers players do, and that was just sad to watch, like she didn't convinced me for 1 second that she was poker top player, but in other moments she was ok. Perez Hilton do a very stereotyped homossexual, he was a bit over, a bit exaggerated. Chad Addison convinced as the prankster. The montage of the movie had some really clumsy moments, i'm not sure what they were trying to do, to refer the old slasher classics, or they really thought that it would end up good, i don't know, i know that it didn't worked, there are some cuts that have like 2 seconds and don't tell nothing, i don't liked the montage here very much. The cinematography had some good moments, the movie have a clean image, the inside the house moments had some nice camera positioning, being able to give me a feel of claustrophobia sometimes or even fear. This movie isn't all bad, it does have some nice set pieces, some nice moments, but the dialogues overall aren't very interesting, neither the characters, the story is very cliche and predictable, but the killer is good so as some situations that they have placed during horror moments.
Sep 27, 2017 Another modern horror film that is forgettable, lifeless, and dull. And the characters **** ass. May 28, 2019Forgettable and passable in every sense of the word. Most Likely To Die wastes an otherwise interesting, if not particularly original, idea in clichés that bore me instead of scaring.
Nov 14, 2017Most 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 intruiging, 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.
Aug 14, 2017Okay so where do you start with this B-movie. The movie starts in a house where there is going to be a reunion for school. The first 30 minutes of the movie is just about how the relationships are between the characters but the characters are so boring and uninteresting I didn't paid attention to it. Suddenly they are going to find a girl who has been missing the whole day they find her killed and nobody looks surprised and it was really bad acting. When you finally decide to watch further and you see everyone gets slaughtered there is no kill that is very surprising to me and when you come to the end and see who is behind all this horrible stuff. You're gonna be surprised, because you would never thought the writer of this movie be so bad in his/her job. After watching this movie your most likely to die, because this is a really bad movie.
