Monkeyboy’s review:
Pity the poor actors in A Horrible Way To Die. They do a pretty great job, especially Amy Seimetz as the alcoholic ex-girlfriend of a serial killer who's escaped from jail.
All her efforts are virtually undone by a director who can't keep the camera still for more than a second. Or who thinks it's so cool to have out-of-focus objects in the foreground for every other shot.
Drinking game: every time the camera loses focus and pans downwards at the end of a scene, knock back a whiskey. If you manage it to the end of the movie, you'll be as hammered as the director seems to have been when making it.
