Movie Review: Laid to Rest

Category : DVD Reviews

Laid to Rest

Rating: ★★★½☆ 

Written & Directed By: Robert Hall

Starring: Bobbi Sue LutherKevin Gage, Lena Headey, Sean Whalen, Thomas Dekker

Plot Synopsis:

Laid to Rest is the terrifying story of a young girl (Bobbi Sue Luther) who wakes up in a casket with a traumatic head injury and no memory of her identity. She quickly realizes she was abducted by ChromeSkull (Nick Principe), a metal-masked serial killer with the money and means to emulate the 1980s Slashers. Isolated in an unfamiliar rural town, the Girl and those who have come to her aid must survive the night and outsmart the technologically inclined murderer who video records his vicious killings and is determined to finish his masterpiece tape featuring “the Girl.”

Review:

With over-saturation of remakes, re-imaginings, and reboots, it’s nice when a little slasher flick shows some originality.  Laid to Rest does owe a lot to slashers of the 80s, however, this low budget flick boasts some fantastic gore and a memorable baddie with Chrome Skull.
