Jack Two girls get kidnapped and taken to a large house out in the desert. There's also a fat retarded guy wandering around the place. The girls explore the house. Atmosphere? This movie has all the scary atmosphere of an open house showing on a sunny day in a nice neighborhood. Character development? None whatsoever. By the end of the movie you won't know these two girls any better than you did the first moment you laid eyes on them.Eventually the retarded guy realizes that he's supposed to kill the girls, so he chases them around a bit. Is he scary? No, he's got a couple of warts and a bit of a lump on his forehead. He's more pathetic than frightening. Any normal person could kill this guy, or at least get away from him, with little problem at all. He's retarded. Unfortunately, so are the girls, which is the only reason this whole stalk sequence lasts longer than a couple of minutes.So this eventually winds down to its inevitable Hills Have Eyes ripoff climax, followed by one of the most ridiculous twist endings I've ever seen. I sat there thinking "Surely they don't think their audience is stupid enough to buy this?".Anything good about this movie? Well, one of the girls is wearing a tight tank top, unfortunately the thing might as well have been made out of Kevlar. I think the jackets worn by firefighters might be made out of thicker, heavier material than this tank top, but I wouldn't bet any money on it. No character development, no story, no atmosphere, boring, stupid; That about covers it.

nwowolfpac14 Hmmmm OK lets start off with the GOOD of this movie....The female actresses...NOT their acting Ann Henson annoyed the hell out of me,but they were both very attractive and the phone sex scene was pretty steamy(guys you know what i mean). Now the BAD(Besides the whole movie).OK From beginning i didn't know what the hell was going on the movie was pretty easily identifiable when she of course broke down in the middle of nowhere at night. Blah blah blah ill get to the very descriptive part of this comment.Boring, no gore, didn't show any of the killings which were very very minimal, the story(if any)was very dull,the directors attempt to add a story and twists were very poorly attempted(that is of course if they were even noticeable),characters were just planted in the movie and somehow became part of the story(again if there was one) and then when the lead characters got away somehow this fat beaten and shot hillbilly cannibal gets to the destination at the end before they do in a vehicle. OH I'm not done you crazy little goats a cabin is discovered and a bunch of letters were signed to the crazy hillbilly guy which is where the TWIST "Wink wink" is planted ,then a very similar scenario is also discovered a bit later(there's a pregnant hag tied up to a bed signifying that the crazy cannibal uses her to breed sound familiar????) All in all i think i would have rather of masturbated to fat women porn then watch this.

sol1218 (Some Spoilers) What seems at first like a "The Hills have Eyes" rip-off "Alive or Dead" is in fact in a class of its own. The film "Alive or Dead" starts off with busty and talkative Maria having a hot session of phone sex with her hot and horny, off camera, boyfriend Terry.With the battery of her cellphone losing juice Maria also finds herself stuck in the middle of the desert with two, not one, flat tires. It's then that the action starts with Maria instead of staying in the safety of her locked SUV wanders out in the night to check out an abandoned school-bus with the words, in blood, "help me" written of the side-window.The film then take you into a minefield of ridiculous situations involving Maria and her now friend, who was found tied up and hooded inside the school bus, and ally Sarah. All this leaves you more confused by the time the movie is over then you were before it even started!The film has more then its share of nuts and they seem to pop up every few minutes just to both introduce themselves to the audience and then get killed off. There's first the unstable and creepy bus driver who we later find out is a happily married family man with a pregnant wife, Gretchen, back home. What he and Gretchen have to do with the other,if not the major, nut-case in the film Frank is very vague and left up in the air and to the confused viewers imagination by the films writers and director.Frank whom you at first thought was a real cool and straight up guy and in fact the hero of the movie later turned out to be a cannibalistic murderer who ate among others, one of the other nut cases to pop up unexpectedly in the film, the mad monk-like Howard's young daughter back in 1982!There's also the cute and cuddly but very undernourished boy cannibal Bubbles who's face looks like a pizza pie, with extra extra cheese, that was left in the oven long after it was already done. Bubbles is always seen munching on the-by then-dead bus driver's hand and pointing at his wedding ring which he offers to the amazed and terrified two girls Maria & Sarah as some kind of present. It wasn't until almost at the end of the movie that you realized that, with her wearing the identical wedding ring, the bus driver and Gretchen were in fact married!***MAJOR SPOILERS*** Of all the confusion in the movie the connection between Frank Gretchen and the bus driver is the most confusing of all. Were then given to understand that it was non other then Sarah's recently deceased father Dr. Benson who delivered Farnk some 40 years ago and that's the reason that the bus driver had it in for Sarah in, this is just my take in this crazy mixed up mess of a movie, Frank not the bus driver being the one whom impregnated his wife Gretchen! This suspicion seemed to be confirmed by Gretchen herself when after being rescued by Sarah begged her to kill her before it was to late! The too late was in her giving birth to the deranged cannibalistic and murderous Frank's offspring!

seriouslaughter Maybe I'm just a big chicken, but this film was TOTALLY INTENSE. My boyfriend has marks on his arm from where I grabbed him.Don't rent this if you get scared easy. My boyfriend didn't think it was that scary, but it totally freaked me out. Don't stop in the woods when you see a broken down bus. Ever. I'm glad I live in the city. Is everyone out in the country an inbred killer?I didn't really get the monk guy. What was he supposed to be? Hated the part about the girl getting eaten. gross. the guy in the back of the bus eating the hand made me almost throw up.I think I'm gonna avoid horror movies for awhile.
