One of the better independent flicks of the year that's for sure. Laid To Rest lived up to the hype that Hatchet crashed and burned on. The effects were top notch and were some of the best shit I've seen in awhile (don't think I've been blown away that much since Toe Tag first hit the scene). Terrible soundtrack however... Christ whoever overlooks stuff like that should realize that even trendy teenagers are over these banal tunes.
Really solid slasher that didn't hide behind the self reflexive smokescreen (ala Scream/Final Destination) bullshit or remake the oldies blandness.
A top notch modern slasher up there with Gutterballs and Malevolence.
You know whether you're gonna hate this or not. If you're down check it... if not pick holes and waste your bandwidth or coin true fans of this shit could care less, stick to your docile "How to join the FBI"/ Sixth Sense knockoff thrillers. This flick is made by horror fans for horror fans.
