Death Count tells the story of 8 people who are captured and forced to play a game to try to survive. There is a B plot following the police trying to stop the game.

This film features some of the worst acting I have ever seen in my life. Many actors look like they are reading off of que cards or put no emphasis or emotion into what they are saying. Acting vet Michael Madsen was equally as bad as any of anyone else. Completely phoning in the rule as a flat stereotypical cop.

Outside of our lead, the characters are mostly all extremely stupid, vulgar and/or a meat bag. It's hard to root for any of these people. Sarah French as #3 may be the only exception for this movie.

The film is also very cheap, the shots look cheap. Most of the special effects are so bad the camera cuts away immediately. It was very apparent they had no money to make this. Some of the violence is creative/gruesome but overall it's so cheap that often times I ended up rolling my eyes.

Overall the movie is so cheap, unoriginal with acting you would expect to see a middle school play. It is not worth your time frankly.

Abysmal. This film makes Nine Dead (2010) look like an absolute masterpiece. Easily the worst of the chained up in a room films. No story at all and incredibly cheap. The villain looks like he walked in from Land Of Doom (1986). Upon seeing his getup, I was convinced this might be a parody of sorts. Nope. If you are a fan of Michael Madsen...you may be disappointed. Madsen exhibits a stellar example of "phoning it in" that doesn't even qualify as acting. His paycheck was likely the biggest part of the budget and not money well spent. I mentioned that there is no story. They don't even try to tell any sort of story. Vague hints are dropped but nothing is explained, even in a skeletal manner. It's literally a string of tropes unconvincingly stitched together. Chained up people mutilate themselves at the behest of a mysterious villain. That is the story. Idiot detective characters pad the run time. I'm aware that it's a common and lazy insult to say a movie seems like it was written by juveniles. This one genuinely feels like it was written by and for sixth graders based on Saw tropes. The one positive? The practical gore effects were occasionally serviceable. Sure, some were of the "squirty kinfe" variety....but the effects department, in general, seemed to at least try. It's still not enough to recommend this film except as an example of how not to make a movie.

I got about 40 minutes into this movie before I couldn't take it anymore. It's bad. I don't mind the torture/gore genre but there has to be at least an attempt at a story and there isn't. It's just people being tortured via subpar special effects, horrible dialogue and seemingly no point. The acting is also some of the worst I've seen in quite awhile.

Don't bother with this one.

Watched the first 10 minutes and this doesn't even cut it for a B horror movie. Acting was lame, effects were cheap, etc etc.

Can't say enough bad things about the whole storyline.

Who wrote the script??? A fifth grader could do a better job.

Meanwhile, please steer clear and save yourself the agony and use the time to watch more interesting gore like The Babysitter.

Nuff said.

DK out.

Not well made at all, poor in every way imaginable. I wish I did not watch this, this has all been done before just way better.. A little research to find that this is a film that was obviously funded through indiegogo, because no one who is legitimate in the industry would give their money to this production company Mahal Empire. Horrible.
