Review of LD 50 Lethal Dose (2003) by Robert C — 01 Aug 2009

When I heard "animal rights activists" and saw the opening credits of this film, I chalked it up to seeing a bunch of college kids take some animals' places in brutal experimental procedures.

I liked that idea. But by the time the film was over, I was bitterly disappointed. I was far more disturbed by the opening sequence in which a series of Vivisection photos (with no credit to the actual film makers) flashed across the screen than at any point during the actual film.

And I was more often laughing at the actors' bizarre reactions or peculiarly muted emotions than I was eagerly awaiting the explanation. Plot holes were plentiful and suspense was minimal. The only means in which it redeemed itself was by way of "stupidly funny" horror flick.

Save it for a boring night with friends or skip it all together.
