Review of Dead and Gone (2008) by Jason D — 20 Apr 2009
Dead and Gone is about a sexy stud (the wooden Quentin Jones) who moves out to a haunted cabin that was built on ancient burial ground and makes people go insane (hence the opening scene). An interesting point in the story has Jones' character moving out there to take care of his comatose wife (whom I thought was Sean Young the whole time, but was actually Kathrine Bates).
We start to learn that Jones is no good and his character becomes increasing worse as the cabin (and his ghost wife) continues to spook him. That's when the murders start happening. The movie as a whole is dull, which is a shame, because the story is interesting.
There are a bevy of cameos in this film, including Ben Moody (used to be part of Evanescence), Zach Ward (Transformers), Kyle Gass (Tenacious D), Marilyn Ghigliotti (Veronica from Clerks), and my beloved Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp).
The best parts of the film were scenes that involved Rose's character, which were mainly phone conversations and one fun scene midway through the end credits. Other than that (and Gillian Shure's perky titties), this film is uninteresting.
Nice try though.
