This movie should probably suck a lot more than it actually does. It falls apart a bit during the finale, but up until that point, the script is decently plotted even if some of the acting isn't great and the whole movie looks like it was shot on a HandyCam. Debbie Rochon treats it like she's doing Ibsen or Albee and that's why we love her.
Rochon plays a woman estranged from her unsupportive parents (Brinke Stevens and Lloyd Kauffman in tiny roles) who begins dating a guy and is about to meet his friends. Because the guy is an idiot, he makes up a whole plot that his friends go along with about how they belong to a "murder club" where they've each killed someone who made them mad. Rochon is already on shaky ground, mentally, so this murder club idea sounds great to her and she ends up killing someone and telling her boyfriend. Like any normal person, he's horrified and it gets even worse when someone begins to stalk and kill his friends.
For a movie that looks like it cost $300, Bleed is at least pretty engaging for most of its runtime which can't be said of some films with 500 times its budget. If a movie can command your attention, it can't be that bad, right?
