Laid to Rest: 7 out of 10: Laid to Rest is a real slasher film. A movie truly for hardcore horror and gore fans only and will make viewers, such as myself, who often enjoy a less serious outing really wonder if I want to see a true horror film. (Turns out I do) This film scared me in places and made me look away in joyful disgust in others. It is a film that raises the bar for horror. On a lighter note lets pretend you are married to a B movie actress whose claim to fame is a brief appearance as an Orion Slave Woman on an episode of The Star Trek spin off series Enterprise (Season 4 Episode 4 Borderland to be exact). She has large breasts but refuses to do a topless scene and she is seemingly challenged in the acting ability department. Oh and if she doesnt star in your next project the audience will not be the only people to be denied a nude scene. Solution? One brain damaged protagonist coming up.... Some people have trouble getting past the um acting of our star (and directors wife) Bobbi Sue Luther but I think poor acting is as much a part of the slasher genre as the false scare or lame back-story reveal and it good to see it represented here. (Strangely I dont recall a false scare in Laid to Rest and what back-story reveal there actually is turns out to be fairly well done.) As if to make up for the main lead, the rest of the cast is much better than any slasher film deserves. For one thing they act like a real people would if confronted with such horror. (This is a credit to the script as well; but the cast really does sell this.) Kevin Gage in particular gives a performance that carries the film and what Lena Headey (The queen in 300 and Sarah Conner in the Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles ) is doing in a slasher film like this is a true mystery. The direction by Robert Hall is also top notch with the ability to create tension and true scares. The real star of this show however is the make-up effects that are simply out of this world and make this worth a look just for that reason. (No cheesy digital blood here) The only real negatives to the film, outside of Bobbi Sue Luther performance (which isnt really that bad and fits a brain damaged character), is the opening credits and the ending. If you hate quick cuts, shaky cam and techno music all combined together the opening credits will put the fear of God into you. Dont worry it stops as soon as the film proper starts. The ending is simply disappointing on a few levels. Characters act... well out of character, and the whole thing is anti-climatic and gimmicky. Overall Laid to Rest is an excellent slasher film for those people who like that sort of thing. But be forewarned this is for fans only; if you dont like real horror stay far away.

First and foremost, you must realize 'Laid To Rest' is a straight to DVD title, so the expectations for it should already be pretty low. But unlike most of the horror titles that skip a theatrical release, Laid To Rest doesn't even manage to be fun in a campy sense. Instead, it's a dreadful piece of cinema with bad and unfitting electronic music, overdone gory death scenes, and a laughably bad lead actress. The film begins with the titles splashed over what sounds like club music and random death scenes of young women screaming and having their chests cut open. Riveting, right? It gets worse. The plot begins with a woman who finds herself trapped inside a coffin in a funeral home. As she awakens, she screams for help. And although the funeral director is in the room, he ignores the helpless screaming victim and leaves, only to return later on after the woman escapes from the coffin in an effort to now finally save her. He meets a chliched bloody death. Trapped in the funeral home and now with a psychotic killer dressed a mine worker on her tail, she eventually escapes, hops in a car and tries to find help while also attempting to ditch the lunatic. The rest of the film is basically the woman encountering people who end up getting killed in graphic, gory deaths at the hands of the killer. There. I just saved you an hour and a half from watching this movie. Skip this lackluster film unless you're in the mood for a headache.

I didn't know what to expect....and believe me...after 42 years of watching "scary movies," I'd have seen my fill... This one is quite good! Yeah, "redneck" types, with "hick" accents...I know them. They're not "bad" people, regardless of how society and "hollywood" construes them. Yet, they all die. And its quite sad. They all die, horribly, and, yet, I know people who behave just like the people I watched. This film is violent, explicit, sad, but, yet, not "disturbing." "Hard Candy" disturbed me. "Martyrs" DISTURBED me. "Lolita" disturbed me. This film just made me angry. If you're looking for ugly violence, gore, and severed heads, you have it. Good acting? Yes, surprisingly! michael

Laid to rest is a stupid movie. There is really no plot or suspense just some idiot with a skull mask and a video recorder chasing some bad actors around. There are a couple of cool cameo appearances by horror veterans that injected a little life into this mess but not enough to make this a memorable or worthwhile viewing experience.

I hope there is a sequel to this slasher!...I really do! After watching this, I had so many questions haha. I really can't say anything new in my review that already hasn't been said. i just enjoyed it so much that i had to throw my two cents into the mix. All I know is that I LOVE the killer's look and the way he goes about killing! The gore is awesome too! If the story was better, I would of given it an easy five star rating. Like others have mentioned, you only go into watching a flick like this simply to see some outrageous gore. Again, I would love a sequel explaining this killer's story.

It is functional as a lunch box. And I love the pirate logo. But it's very small. as in, you can barely fit a sandwich standing up in it. Also, it's incredibly thin and flimsy. Even gripping it firmly will cause it to bend. I don't expect it to live through the year.

I bought two for each of my boys. They loved the look of them and thought they we super cool lunch boxes. I agree but they aren't going to last long because they are cheaply made...Amazon was great to purchase through though...it shipped fast and everything on that end went smooth...just wish the product was better made.

The metal (I assume it is tin) is so thin, barely thicker than tin foil. If you actually want to use this lunch box for carrying your lunch to work or school each day, you'll be lucky to get a month out of it. It will dent incredibly easy and the latches will no longer easily line up. A shame, really, because the lunch box looks very nice. Unfortunately, it's just extremely poorly made and is not worth the money. You'd be better off finding a good steel dome lunch box and putting a pirate sticker on it.

This item is excellent! The order could not have gone smother and it arrived very quickly.

This is a great lunch box. The hinges and latches are made well. It is a big hit for my son who loves pirates. Plenty of room for lots of food and a drink. I recommend this item.
