A Brush with Death

The girlfriends Amber (Seanna McDonald), Megan (Missy Sturges), Samantha (Lily Vu), Candice (Ali Thurlow) and Hillary (Nikki Cordell) drive their Jeep to spend a couple of days in a mansion that belong to the uncle of one of the girls in San Joaquin Valley, ninety kilometers north of Los Angeles. They run out gas on the road and the pervert mechanic Walter (Ted Esquivel) and his stutter assistant Caleb (Max Taylor) give the necessary fuel to the girls. While parting in the swimming pool of the house, they meet their neighbor Ranken (Nicholls Melancon) and decide to hold a party in the night in the Rue Family Farmhouse, an abandoned place considered haunted where a couple of people had been murdered many years ago. Later the girls find the truth about the place and the locals.

"A Brush With Death" has a bad screenplay that misleads the viewer, introduces a totally new important character near the end and the cheerleaders have the behavior of sluts, but this B-movie indeed is not so bad as indicated in IMDb rating. Actually it is an average slasher low-budget movie, having a reasonable unknown cast with beautiful actresses and a flawed and silly story with a good conclusion. I bought this DVD without any previous reference and when I saw the IMDb rating, I watched this film with a very low expectation, but in the end, I did not totally dislike this movie. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "Obsessão Sanguinária" ("Bloody Obsession")
