Dead Scared - 2004 *

The thing with horror movies is that they don't necessarily have to be made on a high budget and many I have seen have managed to be low budget but still contained a great story. This on the other hand was both low budget, AWFUL and I mean awful and had one of the stupidest stories ( mainly due to the fact that it has been done so many times before I am fed up of it!)

In order for a group of 5 students to pass a weird and typically American ritual that makes them members of a certain club (god knows what the actual club is) they have to spend the night in ..... you guessed it ' a creaky old house.' 2 of the founder members of the club are secretly on hand hidden in the house to administer scares and 'pranks' throughout the night but they all get more than they bargained for ( what a surprise). Also there is the pointless nudity which I have never understood the need for in scary films except because the film is so dire the makers believe we will be temporarily be seduced by breasts and chests? Err, I'm not a bloke so no it doesn't work on me.

Added to which the 2 girls in it are so pathetic and fake it makes you want to vomit over the TV set ( one is actually called Amber Rose; if that isn't the name of an aspiring porn star then what is??)

Of course there is also one 'foreigner' ( in most horror films these range from anywhere that is not America or England) one 'jock' ( yet another American phrase for a male whore) and a supposedly intelligent but actually pretty sex-crazed chap ( they usually end up dead.)

If that hasn't put you off watching then nothing will.
