Ensofter Overrated and overhyped

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

ShangLuda Admirable film.

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Alexandra This movie was eye-opening, thrilling and laced with frequent emotional reactions, I was grateful for this because emotions are something I experience, often. I don't need to tell you what to do, but you do need to see an actor's head-shot photocopied and left on the beach to be happened upon. Thank you, Watch this.

wais67 This lame-ass excuse of a zombie flick was even poor by turkey B-movie standards. Myself being a B-movie enthusiast, I've seen some 'grade A' B-movies in the past couple of years implying that a low budget + remarkable creativity + insightful directing can lead to an impressive finished product. Overall this movie gave me the impression that a bunch of undergraduate students majoring in film studies decided to reap up some cash and come up with this ingenious, deplorable piece of craptastic art called 'Near Death'. It's the agonizing pain that you will experience through your veins as you sit through this whole movie.I would definitely watch this movie a second time...if I was strapped to a chair, with my eyelids stapled open and receiving a naked lap dance from Rosie O'Donell, hence forcing me to tilt my head sideways towards the T.V. In other words, AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Enough said. By the way, if you DO get a chance to watch this movie (maybe flipping thru the channels during the graveyard shift and happen to stumble upon upon it on Mystery Science Theater 3000) watch how the lead practically shouts every line off a TelePrompter, overacting every scene - as if this movie is supposed to be the pivotal point in her fictitious acting career.

daartist This movie was so horrible that it was a lot of fun. Most of the people in this movie acted really poorly. So it was comedic without trying to be. The part where the character Heinrich says "But we need to eat!" was a real gem. It was so overacted it was hilarious. Perfect for this movie.The guy who played Billy acted really well which made the movie more bearable. Next to the woman who played June/Maria he looked like a natural. I couldn't stand how stilted and unnaturally loud her lines were. I have no idea how the director just let her get away with such horrible acting. I will probably never watch this movie again. But I would recommend it to people who are into B horror movies.

VideoChick911 Near Death has all the elements of a straight-to-video movie: Hot guys, hot girls, lots of blood, good visuals, and plenty of scares. The actors are great, except there is one girl who is so bad that she sounds like a robot when she talks. It starts with these kids in a car out on the highway looking for a haunted mansion. They have a map and they argue a lot. When they finally find the place, they have an encounter with a team of ghosts. One of the girls falls in love with a ghost and is turned to the dark side. A bunch of people get butchered, and the two leads end up taking a shower together....hot!! The ghosts have to fight for their own survival, and you find out the secret of the movie, which is actually pretty trippy. I watched it again this morning.
