The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Lucky Bastard (2014)

Starring: Don McManus, Betsy Rue, Jay Paulson
Director: Robert Nathan

Premise:
A porn website offers a fan the chance to be in sex scene with one of its stars. When the fan is unable to perform, he snaps and starts murdering the crew.

My Take:
An interesting idea on found footage sub-genre though there are some familiar trappings. The cast is likable and does a good job with the material, especially Don McManus. It manages to produce tension and creepiness once the groundwork is laid.

Rating: In the middle
