Left For Dead/I Miss You Hugs and Kisses-I only watched this because it was one of the video nasties I hadn't seen. It took me 4!!!!attempts to get through it all and I only did so out of obligation. Woeful to the extreme one that deserves a round of applause out of relief that the bloody diabolical thing was over. Basically it's a soap opera disguised as a video nasty and a terribly achingly dull soap opera at that. A film that literally sucks the life and joy out of the viewer. The reason this film made the list was because of two controversial scenes. These scenes come out of nowhere and have absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the film (one is inside an actual abbatoir). I can't work out whether they were added for the director's amusement or whether it was to give this film attention it truly does not deserve. It's painfully sad that this film will be seen by many people like me who want to see all the video nasties (in my case it's all except the cannibal films that I'm prepared to watch and this would have been with them had I known about the abbatoir scene beforehand). This is definitely the worst (most unwatchable) of the video nasties I've seen (given the list includes Frozen Scream that's saying a lot). Completely unlike the other films as most are at least horror films but even taken as a soap opera on it's own merits this is despairingly dull). There is some violence at the end but that's no reward for the torment of sitting through this garbage. A painfully arduous viewing experience.
