YOUNG, HIGH AND DEAD is an appallingly bad British indie horror flick directed in the worst and cheapest way imaginable. The whole thing screams cheap and tawdry, with visuals marred by fake grindhouse-style print damage and a weird old fashioned, silent film-style flickering effect that renders the whole thing all but unwatchable. The plot is much like that of SHROOMS, with some unpleasant characters heading into the woods for some drug-fuelled fun but finding something nasty instead. It's slow and boring for the most part, laughably gruesome and overwrought at the climax. You do wonder what two well-established TV stars, Hannah Tointon and Louisa Lytton, were doing appearing in this.
