And I’m positive those who have seen the first two want to know where the story goes from here. Should I beg? Laid to Rest 3 will deliver. If you’re able, I strongly encourage you to pledge some of your hard-earned money. This is one of those campaigns that truly deserves your attention and support. I believe him, I trust him, and he’s got my money coming his way. Kicking off the anticipation, the makers of Laid to Rest: Exhumed (the title of the new one) have set up an Indiegogo campaign in order to pump some extra money into the special effects, which Hall promises will be the most brutal and twisted ever. I have been waiting since 2011 to see what happens next, and to see if Robert Hall and company can top themselves. It’s a surprise revelation that leads right into the third Laid to Rest. There is a brief epilogue that is so cold-hearted. If you haven’t seen it yet, make sure to keep watching until after the credits.
Almost unfathomable viciousness and cruelty.įor gorehounds, this is an extra-whipped cream cherry juice delight. The kills are even more creative and unexpected. It must have been so much fun to play such a grumpy motherfucker. It begins immediately after the original ended - and drags you from there into a bottomless pool of piss and rusty razorblades.īelieve it or not, Brian Austin Green portrays a despicable and bullying shithead who is in charge of the organization that supports the atrocities Chromeskull commits.
Laid to rest movie#
The meanness factor of this movie is high enough to fry flesh. When watching the original, I couldn’t possibly imagine a movie with human slaughter that was more brutal and evil. Yes, and hooray! That standard was not surpassed until 2011, when Robert Hall made Chromeskull: Laid to Rest 2. The sickness and splatter just kept flowing faster and faster. Not one second of it was obvious or paint-by-stabwounds horror. I was truly nervous and didn’t know what to expect next. Something made me feel very uneasy about Laid to Rest, and it was wonderful. The story was surgical scalpel-simple and precise: one night in the life of a woman with amnesia as she is pursued by a silent but determined and badass killer. A confidently original and unpredictable slasher movie, Laid to Rest featured practical gore effects and cringingly merciless kills, many of which were never seen before. Then in 2009, he pulled a serrated knife across my throat with Laid to Rest. All the performances were authentic and raw, as if the actors had somehow experienced the lives of the characters they were portraying. Clearly autobiographical, it was heartfelt, passionate, and very moving. Although not a horror movie, it was a movie about a young and aspiring makeup artist and his domestic trials and tribulations in rural Alabama. I first encountered the work of writer/director/special effects makeup artist Robert Hall when I saw his debut feature Lightning Bug (2004). All of these things can be done, and they can be done with fangs of steel and spike-knuckled knives. Things like stinky leftover butcher guts, garden hoses of blood, kills we’ve never seen before, and tangible photorealistic special effects. This is your chance to dip your hands into a red-hot bucket of blood, and leave your mark on horror cinema forever by supporting “Laid to Rest: Exhumed”.įilmmaker Robert Hall is currently in the planning stages of making the screamingly anticipated third Laid to Rest film, Laid to Rest: Exhumed, and he needs your help!
