Laid to Rest

(2009) **1/2

A young woman wakes up in a casket with no recollection of who she is or how she ended up in such a predicament. After escaping from the coffin she finds herself being pursued by Chrome Skull, a frightening killing machine who is the only person who can tell her about her identity. As he hunts her down he leaves numerous corpses in his wake.



Laid to Rest is an extremely generic, subpar slasher that has little going for it beyond some pretty decent special effects. Surprisingly graphic, gore-hounds won’t be disappointed, however the story is somewhat bland and despite looking kind of cool we never learn much about the killer’s back-story or motivation. I’ve been wracking my brain in an attempt to find more to say about Laid to Rest but I keep coming up empty. I think I’m just tried of the slasher genre, it does nothing for me. Give me ghosts or some found footage and I’m good to go. Entirely forgettable.
