Left for Dead (I) (2007)
6/10
What's with the black blood?
10 February 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Back in the good old days, black blood in a color movie generally was reserved for zombies. (Zombies with embalmed bodies sometimes had green blood, apparently on the theory that formaldehyde resembles classic anti-freeze.) In LEFT FOR DEAD, director Albert Pyun seems to arbitrarily alternate between black and the red traditionally associated with living mammals. In like manner, he randomly shifts between focusing on a love triangle featuring a mom-to-be and a mom carrying her still-born baby around with her for days in a bag, and a demon bent on revenging his own ripped-from-the-womb babe from 15 years earlier. This is NOT as bad a flick as those rating it a "1" make out, but it certainly is not a "9" or "10," either.

P.S.--I may not have seen a movie shot in Argentina before, but it tastes just like chicken.
