Laid to Rest (Unrated Director's Cut) Reviews:
lay it to rest in your trash can.. 
2009-12-09 - 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.
It pays homage to old school slashers in a modern way! 
2009-12-04 - 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.
Poor Production & Worn Out Story 
2009-12-01 - This production crew, like many who don't really have a unique story, rely on the time-worn crutch of a girl in a remote rural area being chased by a serial killer who in the process kills practically everyone else but his intended victim. The editing between scenes was a mess and the use of the two old standbys of horror - darkness and blood were used to the point of ridiculousness. Adding a bit of techie tools to our killer like a camcorder and metal mask was just not believable. Most of the movie is filmed in cars driving nowhere with the usual low on gas routine and cell land phones that just don't seem to work when they're suppose to - boring.
Great gore effects in a really stupid movie.
2009-11-29 - The people who inhabit this movie could only exist in a horror film since nothing they say or do has any resemblance to genuine human behavior. You will never forget you are watching a movie as you view LAID TO REST, since even a brain damaged hamster has more sense than these characters. They stand about jabbering while they are aware that the chrome faced killer (who calls himself Chromeskul - it even says so on his liscence plates) is in the next room and about to attack them. They find it impossible to call the police (with one character muttering that he does not have a "traditional land line" but he is willing to send the cops an email) and impossible to get in the car and drive away from the killer (although they have plenty of access to working cars throughout the length of the film). This movie is just awful in every resepct except one: the gore is VERY impressive and the kills are creative. Too bad they didn't spend as much time thinking up a good story line. Other than the gore there is nothing in this film worth watching and you may well find yourself wishing everyone would just hurry up and die long before the end credits arrive.
......such a crap movie
2009-11-05 - Want blood? plenty of that. Bad acting? Plentiful(especially the main actress and old dude that trails her throughout the movie). How about a cheesy villain who wears a shiny skull mask and black suit.....its here too! All pieces are in place for perhaps one the crappiest movies i have seen in some time. Aside from a couple awesome deaths, this dud is def worth passing up.....unless its free
