Most Likely to Die

Slasher flick Most Likely To Die features a pretty cool killer: clad in graduation gown and cap, face hidden by a papier-mâché mask constructed from cuttings from an old yearbook, he kills his victims using the sharp edges of his mortar board (throwing it on occasion like Oddjob in Goldfinger). When he's not using his hat to kill, he resorts to a retractable craft knife to cut throats. This means that there are some pretty decent death scenes, including one character having her neck severed before being completely decapitated by the maniac (who uses his bare hands to complete the job), and another having a broken hockey stick jammed into his mouth before the obligatory throat slashing.

Unfortunately, a memorable psycho and some reasonable gore is about all the film does have going for it. The rest of the film is an exercise in sheer mediocrity, with extremely obnoxious characters, stilted dialogue and mundane action in which the soon-to-be-dead repeatedly split up to put themselves in peril. The cast range from the reasonable to the completely wooden, with celebrity blogger Perez Hilton (as camp alcoholic Freddie) the most unbearable (unsurprisingly). The most recognisable 'proper' actor, Jake Busey, is one of the first to die, ending his suffering way before the viewer's.

Yes, The ending was awesome because it was a big plot twist but it actually started out really boring and it took me alittle while to actually be interested in the movie. I did give the movie a chance though and I kind of liked it. That's why I rate it 5/10. It was still pretty good though it's just almost half of the movie started out really boring.

Yes the acting wasn't the greatest, but the storyline behind it, where it's located & all the well thought out murders, this is a enjoyable slasher with a twist ending. Lighten up people!

Does Perez Hilton "act" in any other movies?? He looks like a 70 yr old man who's been choosing cocaine over food for decades. His haggard face makes the young adults having a high school reunion theme highly unlikely. Throughout the movie, he is just loud and overly flamboyant and it's awful. The movie was bad, but Hilton made it irredeemable.

This isn't even a b horror film. The deaths were tacky. What exactly was the plot. There is mention of a kid that is bullied while the throw back some beers and that's it. they have this character who sold alcohol (Last name is Busey, and by those big choppers he is definitely related to Gary Busey) who had no purpose in the movie and didn't serve to add to the plot at all. I just can't get over how awful Hilton was...

I have a love for slasher movies, even the really cheesy ones from the 80's & 90's, but 'Most Likely to Die' is a very subpar effort despite an interesting set-up with the killer offing victims based on their yearbook's "most likely to" which was a pretty neat concept and a cool blue graduation costume. But there's just way too many flaws that holds this back from being up there with the greats of this genre.

The plot focuses on a group of former classmates gathering together to attend a high school reunion at a secluded home, then one by one, they are brutally murdered in a manner befitting their yearbook's most likely to. Are the murders linked to a past event or is something more afoot?

I did like the attempt at giving each of the characters an interesting back-story, but not all that much is done with them, it just feels like an attempt at trying to get the viewer to sympathize with them, which doesn't really work as you just want them to die quicker. The acting was fine for the most part and there are a few familiar faces with Heather Morris (Glee) and Perez Hilton (Blogger), although the latter was just as odious as his real-life counterpart.

Visually it's not all that interesting either with a daytime soap opera feel to the above average production. There was also way too much padding of the run-time with the kills taking way too long to happen, despite a somewhat promising opening. Although there are some creative kill moments towards the latter half, but everything's let down by an underwhelming obvious reveal and a very limp ending.

So overall 'Most Likely to Die' is a rather weak effort that fails to do the most obvious thing (which I won't spoil).
