Tags: murder, flashback

Plot synopsis:
On a cold night, two men are dressed up as a nun and a hooker. The man dressed as a hooker is brutally murdered, while his girlfriend (Julie Strain), who was waiting for him, is soon killed as well.
The story shifts to Shawn (Danny Wolske) at his new job. Maddy (Debbie Rochon) is interviewed by Shawn and gets the job. That night, while Maddy is having dinner at her apartment, she appears to be talking to imaginary people and seemingly receives a letter from her parents, whom she previously claimed were dead, congratulating her on her new job. When she goes to sleep, she dreams of two deaths and awakens in fear.
Shawn and Maddy get closer, go on a date, and end up having sex. In the morning Shawn invites Maddy to a pool party, to which she agrees. At the pool party we are introduced to Keith ( Barry Bedwell ), Karen ( Anne Star ) and the host Tillie (Orly Tepper), Maddy arrives and meets Shawn's other friends Chris (Allen Nabours), Peter (Ronny Gene Blevins) and Laura (Laura Nativo). Later, the remaining people at the party start talking about a "murder club". In confusion, Maddy leaves, disturbed by Chris's words to her: "You never know when you'll need the club's help". Karen and Keith are then seen having hardcore bondage sex when the killer enters the bedroom and strangles them. In her sleep, Maddy has a flashback of when she had an abortion. As a result, her mother (Brinke Stevens) had kicked her out of the house, calling Maddy a "murderer". Her father (Lloyd Kaufman) had tried to stop her, to no avail.
During one of Maddy's shopping trips, she starts a heated argument with a woman, eventually killing her by smashing her head against a large post. Maddy then awakes at home, covered in blood. She realizes what she has done and calls Shawn. He races over and tells her not to worry, as he'll give her an alibi. The next day, on her way to Tillie's house, Maddy hears Shawn, Tillie, Peter and Laura talking amongst each other. She then discovers that the "Murder Club" was all a joke. Shawn tries to convince the others to give Maddy an alibi. Chris agrees, and Peter and Laura want to ignore everything, though Tillie believes they should head to the police. Maddy heads home, upset by the revelation. She later has a dream of Peter and Laura being killed.
She visits Tillie's home again but hides to avoid being seen. Tillie talks to Shawn about finding Peter and Laura's bodies. Maddy then blacks out and has a vision of Tillie's death. When she awakes, she goes to Tillie's home and finds her dead. She goes to Chris's home, believing Shawn to be responsible for the deaths. Then she races over to Laura and Peter's home. There, she finds the dead bodies and tells Chris that she believes Shawn is behind the deaths. She heads back home and Shawn arrives. She attempts to attack him but he retaliates and tells Maddy that Chris is the real murderer. He shows a mask and knife, saying he found them in Chris's home. Just then, Chris kills him by impaling him with an axe. A shocked Maddy demands an explanation. Chris admits to the murders, saying that he did so he could have Maddy. The first death was the owner of the company. Killing him made Shawn head and gave Maddy a place to work. He then killed the various people who wanted to stop Maddy from being with him.
A small chase begins, with Maddy stuck in the bathroom of her home. Chris starts to chop down the door with his axe, but before he can reach Maddy, she hits him with a set of scales and flees. She then becomes trapped in the bedroom and the scene cuts to black. The next scene shows Chris heading to Las Vegas. He pulls over to a car stuck on the side of the road. The man inside asks for a tire-iron. Chris considers killing him, until he sees that the man has a wife. After helping them and watching the couple head off, Chris heads back to the trunk. He opens it, revealing a still-alive and tied-up Maddy. He smiles, then shuts the trunk, and resumes the journey to Vegas.

Review: I thought that this movie was actually good.
I am a fan of a lot of things that are in this movie like: gore, Debbie Rochon, Lloyd Kaufman, and so on.
This movie really wanted to make you think Rochon was the killer, but it was not to be.
My biggest problem with the film was that by the end, I didn't much care who was the killer, and the real killer made little sense, since it was out of the blue and the filmmakers were thinking 'ha, betcha didn't see that one coming, sucker!'.
The dialog was overly think and painful at times.Just don't have high expectations going into this, and it won't be that bad.
In the days of Full Moon's greatest success Band said that he would never make "real killer films" because he felt that little puppets and big monsters added a fantasy element that made the films better - people killing each other is thus real and less fun.
A nice philosophy and a true shame that Band, having destroyed the Full Moon studio through possible shoddy business dealings became so desperate for home cinema profits that he started making exactly what the likes of Blockbuster wanted and therefore sacrificed creativity and originality.
Debbie Rochon is on usual top form here as a newbie to a gang of dudes and dudettes who decide to make up a story about a 'murder club'.
She - as one would obviously - does all she can to join and then panic sets in because it was not a true story and silly Ms Rochon believed it and now everybody will have to run around getting covered in blood and maybe killing each other or maybe not.
Maddy (Debbie Rochon) is a mentally unstable young woman with a troubled past who gets more than she bargained for when she goes to a pool party with a handsome coworker.
When her date and his friends jokingly say they belong to a `Murder Club,' Maddy takes it seriously and moves straight up to `Level 3' by bashing in the brains of a woman in a parking garage (for denting her car!).
But is Maddy also the one donning a plastic mask and killing off other members of the group or has someone else lost it?The plot of this film (originally titled MAKE 'EM BLEED) is very poorly conceived, full of holes and spirals completely out of control before a ludicrous, out-of-left-field twist ending.
Horror fans may also enjoy the cameos from Brinke Stevens and Lloyd Kaufman (as Debbie's parents) and Julie Strain (an early victim).Score: 4 out of 10.
Devin Hamilton's screenplay is built on a great concept: a lonely girl who wants friends buys into a party prank which turns out to be deadly.Through the course of the film I imagined all sorts of scenarios which could result.
Sadly, the resulting story is more paint-by-numbers than I imagined, yet along the way it sort of subverts the usual expectations of the slasher genre despite itself.Believe me, that's a good thing.There is nary a wink or reference to other films to tell us how clever the film makers are for poking fun at a genre they despise.
The only reason i am bothering to comment on this movie is to save you all 97 minutes of your life and maybe your money.I bought it ex-rental for £3.00, it looked interesting, so i took a chance.Within minutes of turning it on i realised i'd made a mistake.
Make sure you have some Tylenol or something (preferably PM's so you can fall asleep), because you're going to have a massive headache once this movie starts.Starring a bunch of big-breasted girls and with an opening that actually made me chuckle a bit, I thought I'd be in for a good time.
Sure, the opening sequence was a WEE bit awkward and most of the jokes fell flat and it seemed like this was going to be a Scream ripoff (by the way, my sole chuckle was from Julie Strain's final comment in this scene).
During this terrible rock song, I looked over the DVD Chapter titles and saw things that said "TOPLESS IN THE BACKYARD!" and "BETTER THAN SEX!".
I knew what the selling point of this movie was going to be.And that's the sad truth: The ONLY good thing about this movie is the attractive cast.
Other than that, it's a sadly routine slasher film that throws in an "innovative" concept about murder clubs, which ends up being fake anyway.
So, the whole movie then points in another direction to try to be confusing and this huge mystery, but it all just adds up to not being interesting at all and leaves you feeling like you don't care for any of the characters.
I mean, when the main character of the movie is revealed to have murdered an innocent woman, can you really feel ANY sympathy towards her when she's in fear for her life?
This isn't a "so-bad-it's-good" movie, it's just BAD.Someone compared this to a Troma film, but...
I do give credit for it being shot on a VERY low budget--I always support movies like that.
This Is the worst slasher movie,before this I thought Final Stab was, which used to be called Final Scream.
Those scenes had nothing to do with the rest of the movie at all.It good looking people being naked and drinking and being killed by a killer in a strange Mask.I total forgot about the rest of the movie, I actually shocked that I even remember, that I saw this about 12 years ago.
The coverbox at the local videostore should've said it all...nothing but 6 actors/actresses who get lost on the set of Scream and decide to shoot a movie!The acting was apparently not in the budget, but they were able to afford nudity and good-looking actors!
After only 4 or 5 kills by the so-called masked murderer and a confusing tie-in plot about a Murder Club which the dumb lead actress thinks is a real club that she can join (only if she can get over a girl bumping into her car), you want to stab your hands with the nearest sharp object to remind yourself never to get overly excited by a possibly good movie such as this.I feel bad for the people who bought this film and can't find anyone to take it off their hands.
I had read all the reviews before i dared to watch it, and I went into it expecting the worse but when I started watching it I didn't think it was all that bad.
I watched it without fast forwarding through it like I did other low budget films like jack o lantern or s.i.c.k for example I wouldn"t recommend this film to no one in particular but there actually is a story to follow unlike some of the other movies that lose you and bore you to death.
I would say that maybe I thought it was alright because I went into it expecting total garbage, I wouldn't say rush out and rent it now, but it's not at the bottom of my list of modern low budget horror flicks either.
You got loves movies like this, now the acting is horrible, and the gore is fake looking and kind of the flashy directing style that barely allows you to see anything.
Cheap and awful slasher movie that looks like they hired a bunch of porn stars and gave them a stab, no pun intended, at straight acting, as well as the opportunity to shed their clothes at regular intervals.
The movie was pretty bad.
the Whole "murder club" thing was quite good and could have done more with that.**SPOLIERS**Well you find out there was no murder club, (my first let down) two characters die you dont know anything about (was quite confused) The ending sucked (what happend to maddie when she was in the trunk) and your hero dies!!
Debbie Rochon sure can act and she is soo good in this movie.
I'm not saying that the acting was good, because it wasn't, but every actor/actress was hot and attractive.One of the downs are that the movie only become exciting after the first 40 minutes or so.
It's not that I'm against nudity, but this was a horror movie, not 'The Dreamers'.Unless you're very desperate to watch some guy take off his swimsuit and run around naked for a few minutes, or watch a girl get naked for no reason, or you're a die-hard fan of Debbie Rochon, than this is the movie for you.
But if you're looking for a good horror movie, stay away..
Let me being by saying the I followed watching this video by watching Saw and after Bleed, Saw looked like the all time greatest horror flick ever even though I thought it was only fairly good.
If I could, I would ban these actors and actresses, the only reason being is that Debbie Rochon (Maddy) has been in over a hundred other videos and I've also seen two other members of the cast in equally or worse motion pictures.
Full Moon used to make quality low-budget horror and sci-fi movies.
Now you're lucky if they make one good film for every five they release.I'm really not sure exactly what happened with them, but their movies seem to be going from low-budget to no-budget.
There is nothing original, it has a masked killer (ala Scream) which is getting very old in movies.
The movie was interesting but Debbie Rochon's character was way to gullible, actually beliving that these people actually had a "Murder Club" and killed people and not getting caught.
Bleed (2002) Debbie Rochon, Danny Wolske, Allen Nabors, Orly Tepper, Ronnie Gene Blevins, Julie Strain, D: Devin Hamilton.
When she is convinced to join, she kills a woman, and it turns out there was no Murder Club, but a real killer does prowl in her path.Strikes a similitude to a college filmmaker's effort with shoddiness and common story; the suspense is traded in for repulsive splatter.
If he can't act, at least he has the requisite good looks that the girls love.
If you want a really good slasher movie rent "I Know What You  Did Last Summer" with Ryan Phillippe, Michelle Geller, Jennifer Love-Hewitt, and Freddie Prince, Jr..
A group of young adults who look as though they should be part of the Beverly Hills 90210 cast are killed after joking about a murder club.
The high point of this slasher entry is when just about everyone in the perfect looking cast (male & female) gets naked.
How many times do we have to see bad horror movies with a killer in a Scream-ripoff mask?
The plot of Bleed is kinda original but the movie itself is a complete failure.
For one thing the dialogue is poorly developed, it's boring and wastes too much time on trivial details, the acting is bad, et cetera.
Enjoyably movie from Full Moon (at the time Shadow Entertainment).
Debbie Rochon is good as always and there's even a cameo by Lloyd Kaufman.
This the worst movie of all-time?
Most people that dislike Bleed are the types that have sensitive stomachs or have no liking for low budget films.
If you like slashers, gore, and Full Moon movies, you'll like Bleed..
As usual, mysterious deaths occur until only a small group of teens remain as they attempt to discover who the stalker/killer is.I'd say that this film actually has quite a bit in common with the original "Scream", minus the big unseen storyline.
With no expectations for this being a good movie, i started watching it.
That was my first mistake...The film starts off with two guys going home from a party (Dressed like Women...?) well one guy dies (Very gruesomely *Is that a word?*) then the guys Girlfriend calls, for some reason she's been out in her backyard topless waiting for him, then she dies as well.
They all keep it from her, that the Club was fake, until people start dying for real...but who could it be?Dont be fooled by the cool artwork on the cover, this movie is bad.
The entire thing is like one big Porno movie, with a killer added in for fun.
The whole sequence of the Killer walking to the pool took about a minute, which would give Laura just enough time to get out, and run.
Chris should be funny in his movies, thats the only way his acting works.
This is a low-budget "Scream" style movie.
During a hot tub-party, Chris and his friends convince Maddy they belong to a "Murder Club" where everyone has killed someone for kicks.
When Maddy loses it and kills someone for real, hijinks ensue.The film looks good, and there are the requisites for this genre and budget level (nudity, gore, maybe a few cameos from slightly bigger stars than the cast), but, after the credits roll, you'll ask yourself why you spent 80 minutes of your life watching it..
He recently released a movie, BLEED, which he was selling to Blackbuster at the same time as JIGSAW.
The major problem with that is that BLEED is one of the worst movies ever, and as we all know, JIGSAW is, well, gold.
I urge all of you to go on to the BLEED page on the internet and vote for the movie that wronged JIGSAW, and all of your talents.
We need to get JIGSAW up to at least an 8 or 8.5, and BLEED down to around a 2 (thus putting it on the internet's 100 worst movie listing).
~Spoiler~I can't believe I liked this movie.
Bleed stars Debbie Rochon and was produced by Full Moon's own Charlie Band.
As the title says there is a lot of bleeding in this movie.
Not all of the cast members make it to the end of the movie.
(Big surprise I know)Debbie Rochon is at the top of her game playing a lady who is a bit off kilter, has a troubled past, and possessive girlfriend.
Someone who really wants to fit in.The entire cast plays well off each other.A very interesting cameo by Brinke Stevens and Lyold Kauffauman ( to say more would be a spoiler)Julie Strain helps to open the movieThere is eye candy for both the guys and ladies in this movie The guys looked as if they stepped of the pages of GQ and the ladies look just look fine.
With partial nudity from both sides (butts and topless.)Is  this the perfect Slasher/horror film, No. Is it worth buying and watching YES.*****Spoiler Alert************ There is one aspect of Debbie character they didn't explain that threw things off.
Julie Strain's breasts have a fifteen second cameo near the beginning of the movie.
Shawn and his friends play a practical joke on Maddy, concerning a supposed Murder Club they started where each member randomly selected a victim to kill.
Low budget slasher, executive produced by Charles Band, with gore murders that fail to convince.
There are enough plot holes to drive a truck through, such as why Maddy has nightmares of murders she didn't commit, how she could murder someone so violently(..with blood all over her)winding up waking in her bed without leaving something at the scene of the crime that would easily implicate her, and how Shawn could go so long, allowing her to continue working at the company despite what she told regarding the murder she committed, and a continual desire to join the supposed club that doesn't exist.What bothered me the most was the film's desire for having us somehow sympathizing with this female protagonist who wanted to join a club after killing someone, later proclaiming it to be an accident.
In a lot of slashers, the one who seems the most likely killer is often the red herring, but this film goes out of it's way to point the finger at Maddy.
Low budget horror fans will get a kick out of seeing cult favorite Brinke Stevens as a religious fanatical mother who preaches against what Maddy did, calling her a murderer as beloved Troma producer Lloyd Kaufman is the aloof father who can not get in a word edge-wise to protect the daughter he truly cares about.
First up is Maddy played by the brilliant horror actress Debbie Rochon.
It constantly attempts to be more than the usual horror/slasher movie by trying to focus more on the varying relationships between that characters.
One or two deaths show some bad effects and one in particular is very stupid (Girl stays in pool for what seems like ages as the killer moves forward very slowly to throw in a wire to electrocute her).Overall this is good at a budget price or to rent.
Watch though once and then leave alone.Good Points: Debbie Rochon and Danny Wolske excel in the acting.
Lots of gore and nudity for genre fans.Bad points: The odd poor effect, some bad acting and a bizarre plot full of holes..
Debbie Rochon's talent is completely wasted in this film.
Now, the "members" of the Murder Club are being killed one by one.
Oh, and the bad guys wins and the movie ends on a downer.
By that time, you won't really care though.In retrospect, the first 10 or so minutes of this movie make no sense.
On the box, it says there are Easter Eggs, but why the hell I would want to waste my time looking for extras on this movie is beyond me.
I was expecting a bad movie, and "Bleed" delivered on that front.
It wasn't a fun bad movie though.
Everyone looks good in the movie, and there's plenty of nudity, but the acting is just awful.
I think the funniest moment of the movie is when our heroine kills the lady in the parking garage, in a hilariously unconvincing death.
For those who think that movie making is an intricate, creative process done by professionals, check out "Bleed".
