Sorry, this movie sucks

Disturbing yet enthralling

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Re-formed by a coded message to their web site, a group of animal rights activists set off to free an imprisoned colleague from a terrifying ordeal. Their rescue mission leads them to a disused lab, but what should have been a simple raid turns into a series of twisted and mind bending incidents where the free and the caged switch places, in this tormented psychological horror. LD 50 Lethal Dose is a 2003 Horror film that tries harder than it should and it's packed with some terrible perfomances (including Tom Hardy) and a set of twists and gore that it copy paste from other classic horror movies. Overall a horrible horror flick with horrible characters and perfomances. (0/10)

"LD 50 Lethal Dose" was a nice surprise, and actually a lot better than the trailer suggests (which, thankfully, I saw after the movie, on the "special features" menu). Scary Spice was actually pretty unrecognisable in the movie. At least, to me she was. Never really kept track of the Spice Girls, anyway. All the acting was pretty okay, even. All I can say is, if you like recent British horror, like "Dog Soldiers" (2002), "The Descent" (2005), "The Hole" (2001) and "Long Time Dead" (2002), then you'll most likely enjoy "LD 50 Lethal Dose" also. Its not on par with the first two I mentioned, but it can compete with the last two. It did take me a bit to get into it. It knows a very standard set-up (first half hour), but in the end the movie is saved by a pretty original concept (even though "LD 50" deceivingly starts as one of those 'a group of people on an isolated location are about to be killed of by some killer-something' type of movie), good cinematography (look & feel) and set design, very decent special effects and blood & gore make-up effects (well-timed, rather than a non-stop display), okay over-all acting, and a satisfying finale/conclusion. Just keep one eye closed for some implausibilities in the script and don't try to think too much during the movie, and you'll be okay. First time director Simon De Selva left a good impression on me with "LD 50".

This isn't Scary Spice's (Melanie Brown) first movie. That would be Spice World, not that I would ever admit seeing that. It is her first movie since then, and she was an interesting character that met an unusual end.The Brits are famous for horror. Remember Hammer? Now, it seems they are famous for movies about radicals releasing animals. We do that here, but I don't know that we make movies about it. I don't think that many people really care over here, so we leave it to Peta.The thing is that the group left one of their members behind on a raid and he got three years. He sends them an e-mail about a secret lab that they should check out. That is when the fun begins; as this lab is underground and some really strange stuff is going on there.Now, I won't spoil it by saying what is going on, except to say that it was an interesting concept. The problem is that I really didn't care about the people in this film, and whether they lived or died. Maybe Katharine Towne (But I'm a Cheerleader), but even that is stretching it.Don't just scare me, but make me care.

"Lethal Dose 50" is a stylish British production that deserves a view. It's a for sure a great and pleasure full time killer. The cast isn't that well known, although maybe the spice girl " Melania Brown" could be a recognizable face. The director of this horror SF flick, "Simon De Selva" sets a pretty impressive movie onto your screen as first time director! The tension is superb and of a perfect level. The director knew how to put in the suspense moments at just the right and perfect time. Acting is of a decent quality though can't be called amazing but actually I think that was for sure not needed into this flick. Everyone played their part to best of their ability and in which they succeeded for sure. Sometimes I did spot some "28 Days Later" links into the film but it never annoyed me in anyway. It didn't interfere into this flick in a negative way. The music is good and adds by times that certain needed drive to get some scenes, even the whole movie into a certain gear so it starts rolling onto your screen and creates that great feeling of being locked onto your screen. Which also gives that extra power onto these "jump chair" scenes. Where into this movie one is to be found for sure!Not as great as "28 Days Later" but for sure much better as "Dogsoldiers"! A' kinda must see if you're in for a foreign filled film evening.Dario/ 7.5 outa 10.
