Brief synopsis of 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.

Rated - 1 starsthis 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.

Rated - 1 starsPoor Effort

Dirk from telfrod , 27/01/2005

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.
