Dead and Gone (2008)
7/10
Lots of surprise cameos in a twisted thriller.
25 April 2009
David Lynch meets Evil Dead 2 with some Deliverance thrown in? Trying to make sense of this film is like trying to find something worthwhile in the last eight years - it isn't going to happen.

If you are looking for typical horror with breasts and gore, it has that, although the gore is more Japanese style with the pumping blood after heads roll. You will, of course, enjoy the display by Gillian Shure (Disturbia) as the Constable.

But what the film really contains is a story of madness. Did Jack (Quentin Jones) bring the madness with him when he took his comatose wife (Kathrine Bates) to a haunted cabin, or did the ghosts of the cabin infect him to the point where he killed and killed again? It may take a couple of watchings to be sure and, even then, I doubt you will be. Good performances by Quentin Jones and Robert Herrick.

Fans will be surprised by the cameos: Kyle Gass (Tenacious D), Marilyn Ghigliotti (Clerks), Zack Ward (Freddy vs. Jason) and Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp).
