LD50

A group of animal rights protesters bite off more than they can chew when they set out to free a bunch of potential pets from a laboratory. Unfortunately their deed is interrupted by a noisy alarm being triggered, leading to them evacuating the premises before the police arrive. Unfortunately one of the activists is left in the laboratory, and goes missing. But when an e-mail is received by one of their number, it contains some bizarre, loosely-worded information that the group are compelled to follow up on. Involving a trip to an empty laboratory, the sights that greets them are more horrific than they ever imagined possible.

Starring Melanie Brown, Katharine Towne, Tom Hardy, Ross McCall, Toby Fisher, Leo Bill, Philip Winchester

    this is what was the director was thinking....

    '...Gosh, 28 Days Later was a successful movie. I wonder if I can make a film using a special new film stock or something? Hey, and Dog Soldiers was great too... yeah, I know, I'll make a horror movie! Altered States was trippy and intelligent, I can use some of those ideas... combined with some kind of matrix-inspired crap 'cause that did really good box office. Hmmm... wonder if the set they used in The Hole is available on the cheap? Maybe I should hire somebody well known, what about that bird from the Spice Girls or something! Better have a hunky guy in there with his top off in a scene too. He'd better be able to do an American accent so I can sell the film to the US market. Wow, I can't go wrong here, Horror films always make money and I'll leave it open for a sequel too 'cause those fans will put up with anything!!'

    WRONG. Your film is total pants. Please stop it right now and get a proper job.

    Poor Effort

    I wouldn't recommend this effort, it's barely watchable.

    Poor acting combined with a shoddy script and terrible direction makes this one a bit of a stinker.

    It reminded me a little of a movie called 'the hole' which although not great, is certainly better than this.

    Disappointing.
