Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

This movie was not the best I've seen, but also not the worst!!! It follows two girls who get trapped in a castle in the middle of nowhere. some of the gore is really good...if you like that sort of thing.It doesn't really pick up until the end of the movie... and then leaves you wanting more. Overall the acting is not horribly bad like some others I have seen. Some of the characters are out of place and you wonder why they are even there, or where they come from! If your looking for a frightening movie this is not it. I don't think I jumped once, or had an edge of your seat moment.Overall I would say don't waste your money on it..Maybe it will come on the SYFY Channel, and you can just waste your time. NOT your TIME and MONEY!!!

don't waste your time to watch this cheap production cause it's too bad in performance ,acting and directing .i don't know whythey spend money to produce movie like this . i don't have time to narrative story because ex comment already did but what i said event if you don't have any thing to watch this movie is sort of wasting time , this is my opinion but if you have saw thismovie and you have your point please jot it here.oh ,my god what is this rules of 10 lines also fixing the wards , i lost 10 minut of my time for that

(Some Spoilers) What seems at first like a "The Hills have Eyes" rip-off "Alive or Dead" is in fact in a class of its own. The film "Alive or Dead" starts off with busty and talkative Maria having a hot session of phone sex with her hot and horny, off camera, boyfriend Terry.With the battery of her cellphone losing juice Maria also finds herself stuck in the middle of the desert with two, not one, flat tires. It's then that the action starts with Maria instead of staying in the safety of her locked SUV wanders out in the night to check out an abandoned school-bus with the words, in blood, "help me" written of the side-window.The film then take you into a minefield of ridiculous situations involving Maria and her now friend, who was found tied up and hooded inside the school bus, and ally Sarah. All this leaves you more confused by the time the movie is over then you were before it even started!The film has more then its share of nuts and they seem to pop up every few minutes just to both introduce themselves to the audience and then get killed off. There's first the unstable and creepy bus driver who we later find out is a happily married family man with a pregnant wife, Gretchen, back home. What he and Gretchen have to do with the other,if not the major, nut-case in the film Frank is very vague and left up in the air and to the confused viewers imagination by the films writers and director.Frank whom you at first thought was a real cool and straight up guy and in fact the hero of the movie later turned out to be a cannibalistic murderer who ate among others, one of the other nut cases to pop up unexpectedly in the film, the mad monk-like Howard's young daughter back in 1982!There's also the cute and cuddly but very undernourished boy cannibal Bubbles who's face looks like a pizza pie, with extra extra cheese, that was left in the oven long after it was already done. Bubbles is always seen munching on the-by then-dead bus driver's hand and pointing at his wedding ring which he offers to the amazed and terrified two girls Maria & Sarah as some kind of present. It wasn't until almost at the end of the movie that you realized that, with her wearing the identical wedding ring, the bus driver and Gretchen were in fact married!***MAJOR SPOILERS*** Of all the confusion in the movie the connection between Frank Gretchen and the bus driver is the most confusing of all. Were then given to understand that it was non other then Sarah's recently deceased father Dr. Benson who delivered Farnk some 40 years ago and that's the reason that the bus driver had it in for Sarah in, this is just my take in this crazy mixed up mess of a movie, Frank not the bus driver being the one whom impregnated his wife Gretchen! This suspicion seemed to be confirmed by Gretchen herself when after being rescued by Sarah begged her to kill her before it was to late! The too late was in her giving birth to the deranged cannibalistic and murderous Frank's offspring!

I've seen a lot of bad flicks in my time. Glen or Glenda, Date Movie, everything Uwe Boll's done, but this one takes the cake. Terrible acting, virtually non-existent plot and the cheesiest special effects I've laid eyes on make this a title that no one should view. Ever.Cannibals? Flesh-eating little boys? A character strangely reminiscent of Lord Voldemort?This film is absolutely terrible, one for the garbage bin and not the DVD player. I'd rather watch golf and eat paint chips.For anyone considering viewing this tremendous crock of film feces, I'd suggest you instead pick up a few Richard Simmons tapes, collect the neighborhood fatties and sweat to the oldies. You'll thank yourself later.
