I had read all the reviews before i dared to watch it, and I went into it expecting the worse but when I started watching it I didn't think it was all that bad. I have seen much worse low budget modern crap and granted this is by no means great, it was watchable. I watched it without fast forwarding through it like I did other low budget films like jack o lantern or s.i.c.k for example I wouldn"t recommend this film to no one in particular but there actually is a story to follow unlike some of the other movies that lose you and bore you to death. I would say that maybe I thought it was alright because I went into it expecting total garbage, I wouldn't say rush out and rent it now, but it's not at the bottom of my list of modern low budget horror flicks either. roll the dice if you like , don't expect much and you might enjoy it.

Wow...speechless as to the making of this film, I can't say much. The coverbox at the local videostore should've said it all...nothing but 6 actors/actresses who get lost on the set of Scream and decide to shoot a movie!The acting was apparently not in the budget, but they were able to afford nudity and good-looking actors! Style over substance almost makes its mark here, except most of these acting-class failures keep forgetting that there is a plot that needs to go somewhere when they were reading this script. After only 4 or 5 kills by the so-called masked murderer and a confusing tie-in plot about a Murder Club which the dumb lead actress thinks is a real club that she can join (only if she can get over a girl bumping into her car), you want to stab your hands with the nearest sharp object to remind yourself never to get overly excited by a possibly good movie such as this.I feel bad for the people who bought this film and can't find anyone to take it off their hands. Another example of what's wrong with the growing number of straight to video horror releases with no thought put into the essentials. Throw it away if you did buy this.

~Spoiler~I can't believe I liked this movie. Bleed stars Debbie Rochon and was produced by Full Moon's own Charlie Band. That right there does not heighten my expectations for a hit. It had the cheesy cover art and the no-name cast of attractive people too. However, the effects were old fashioned, the nudity was gratuitous, and the opening credits were cool. The ending was also very excellent. The killer wins and that's what makes the movie a success. Julie Strain, Brinke Stevens, and Lloyd Kaufman cameo.

Ok, when i rented this last night, i had read some pretty bad reviews for it. But for some reason...i had to see it, why, i dont know. With no expectations for this being a good movie, i started watching it. That was my first mistake...The film starts off with two guys going home from a party (Dressed like Women...?) well one guy dies (Very gruesomely *Is that a word?*) then the guys Girlfriend calls, for some reason she's been out in her backyard topless waiting for him, then she dies as well. We move onto a young girl named Maddy, who has just gotten a new job at a Highrise Building. Obviously theres an attraction between her and her boss, but we expect that. Well they get to know each other (When i say that, i mean it they have sex their like first night of knowing each other) and sooner or later, he invites her to his friend Tillies pool party (I use the term Pool Party loosely, since its all just a sad excuse for a porno) and she goes. Everyone gets naked, blah blah blah. They tell Maddy about some Murder Club, where they go through 3 levels, the third level being...Murder...well obviously they were joking with her, but she takes it seriously, and kicks the sh*t out of some girl in a parking garage. They all keep it from her, that the Club was fake, until people start dying for real...but who could it be?Dont be fooled by the cool artwork on the cover, this movie is bad. The only thing that actually made me wanna watch this was Laura Nativo. The entire thing is like one big Porno movie, with a killer added in for fun. Strange Mix, i know. But i must say, some of these people die in sick ways. We have a girl getting her head bashed in, a guy getting his intestines cut out, a very gory slit throat, an electrocution (I have something to say about that) a knife through the neck, a girl getting her brains bashed in against a pillar, and an axe in the back. About that electrocution...Laura is in the pool, until her boyfriend pops out scares her, and dies. Well THEN the Killer cuts open a wire (Might i add Laura is still in the pool with about 45 seconds to get out) and slowly walks towards the pool (Laura is still in there, just screaming help) and then throws the wire in. The whole sequence of the Killer walking to the pool took about a minute, which would give Laura just enough time to get out, and run. But we cant blame Laura Nativofor bad blocking. The acting however was alright, Sean was weak in the beginning and gradually got better. Maddy was ok, shes a good actress, not the best though. Chris should be funny in his movies, thats the only way his acting works. Tillie was good as the bitch, while Laura was good as that innocent girl. I forget everyone else, and i guess thats a good thing. This movie is REALLY bad, if your into softcore porno/slasher movies, then this is for you. Everyone else, id say the only reason to watch this is because of Laura Nativo.I give Bleed 4/10 only because Laura Nativo, and it kepy my interest at parts.Also did anyone else notice the striking resemblance to the cover of Darkwalker and the cover of Bleed? *Different Weapon and Different Killer Thought*
