adonis98-743-186503 Re-formed by a coded message to their web site, a group of animal rights activists set off to free an imprisoned colleague from a terrifying ordeal. Their rescue mission leads them to a disused lab, but what should have been a simple raid turns into a series of twisted and mind bending incidents where the free and the caged switch places, in this tormented psychological horror. LD 50 Lethal Dose is a 2003 Horror film that tries harder than it should and it's packed with some terrible perfomances (including Tom Hardy) and a set of twists and gore that it copy paste from other classic horror movies. Overall a horrible horror flick with horrible characters and perfomances. (0/10)

Scarecrow-88 Animal rights activists who attempt a daring rescue releasing animals from cages in a testing laboratory, leave one of their own, Gary, behind after his foot is caught in a trap. Later on Danny of the group, who has a constant hard-on with filming practically everything with his camera, calls his people together after visiting a supposedly worsening Gary who had agreed to experimental testing for a lighter sentence(..he would not snitch on the group and received three years of prison, opting for whatever experiments could lead to less time behind bars). Danny discovers through a clever code supposedly sent by Gary that he's prisoner inside a factory, a lab rat to unusual experiments which are testing his emotional and physical limits. The group as a collective unit, including two newcomers, goofball Vaughn(Philip Winchester), who seems to be along for the ride not taking things as seriously as his girlfriend, Louise(Melanie Brown), and lunatic "Spook"(Stephen Lord), an ex-military man with a steel plate in his skull and not operating with a full deck, often talking to himself(..why team leader Justin, played by Toby Fisher, would want this loose cannon with them is anyone's guess), will infiltrate the "shadow factory" holding him prisoner in an attempt to rescue him like they did for animals years prior. Matt's lost that real desire for their cause regarding the freeing of animals as a stand for doing what's right, but tags along at the request of his former associates, winding up the heroic savior of the group when bodies start piling up as a supernatural killer stalks them through the means of electrical energy. The experiments on Gary were an attempt to "free the soul" from the body and in doing so he could now move through current striking those he wishes to eliminate. He holds a grudge towards those that left him to the police. So the film, for a very long period of time, shows this group entering the facility, getting trapped by a force controlling the doors, falling prey to the killer who using electrical current to attack them. Helen(Katharine Towne)is a Buddhist whose Yoga practices come in handy towards the end during her confrontation with Gary whose "soul" enters Spook by way of the current.I agree with others that this film takes from various movies in regards to the characters(..animal rights activists, who seem more interested in the rewards of their actions than saving cats and rabbits)and the electrical current killer(..many should probably see echoes of Jeff Fahey's powerful Lawnmower Man character here). Their situation is similar to a million others. And, for me anyway, this film takes such an alarming amount of time to set up the terror of the characters and their predator, that it grows tiresome because the cast is charmless and colorless. There's some gore. A tooth is pulled, a crushed face due to repeated blows against a steel door, the aftermath of a face burned by a flare, but there's never enough violence or energy to counteract the lack of action(..in plot, especially as characters search, turn on lights and power, pondering where their comrade is being held, finding that this is no ordinary factory)and substance. Everything is familiar, and a feeling of deja vu hangs over the whole movie. Seek fulfillment elsewhere. Technically well made, I guess as far as style, but lacking in story and strong characters. One great sequence shows Gary, suspended by wires which come from his body and open skull showing an exposed brain, displaying the awesome power at his disposal even at his most vulnerable.

aimless-46 Dude this movie was HILARIOUS!!! its about this dude, and he couldn't find his car.Sorry wrong movie but same intellectual level. Like the teen comedy "Dude, Where's My Car", "LD 50 Lethal Dose" bravely seeks the lowest rung of its genre's (in this case sci-fi, sort of) intelligence ladder. The only positive outcome is the possibility that first-time writer Matthew McGuchan is now ashamed enough about his sad screenplay to seek a permanent career in the food service industry.Basically "LD 50 Lethal Dose" is what you would have if someone tried to remake 1970's "The Andromeda Strain" under a lot of budget constraints. Speaking of budgets, can anyone find the $8 Million allocated to this movie? Very little of even that modest amount makes it to the screen. And speaking of mysteries, how did they manage to find that kind of financing for this turkey?"LD 50 Lethal Dose" has the same production design concept as the two "Saw" movies and "The Hole"; find an abandoned industrial building, go inside, and roll camera. But even though this particular claustrophobic set has more potential than the others, the finished product is not even remotely in their league. A few artsy interior shots can't salvage a premise this lame or a script this staggeringly bad.If you enjoy life on the bottom rung of the sci-fi ladder you would be better served by something that at least has some innate charm (insert "Godzilla" here). "LD 50 Lethal Dose" might have eventual parody potential but I am not masochistic enough to watch it again for confirmation.Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child.

slayrrr666 "LD 50: Lethal Dose" isn't that bad of an animal rights horror film.**SPOILERS**Several members of an animal rights activist group, Gary, (Ross McCall) Danny, (Leo Bill) Matt, (Tom Hardy) Helen, (Katherine Towne) and Justin (Toby Fischer) raid a chemical lab where animals are being held and release the animals, but when Gary is captured by their security system, the others scatter. One year later, Gary is in prison and the rest of the gang is getting worried that the new experiment Gary signed up for is bad news. When they bring their friends Louise (Melanie Brown) and Vaughn (Philip Winchester) in to help out, Helen joins in only to help get rid of the nightmares she's having about Gary. Last minute addition Spook (Stephan Lord) also arrives, and he, Vaughn, Louise, Helen, Danny, Matt and Justin head over to the lab where they believe Gary was taken for the experiments. Exploring the huge complex, they can tell that something isn't right in the facility, and it starts to freak them out. After some exploring, things really start to get freaky, and now the slowly dwindling group has to get out of the research facility alive.The Good News: Perhaps the best part of the film is the design of the facility the characters become trapped in. It's large in design, but the cramped rooms and long, barren hallways set up the mood perfectly. This film has tons of atmosphere, with the drab, gray walls and miles of cables running alone that really help out as well. Combine this with some choice lighting and you get a movie loaded with suspense and tons of interesting set pieces. It was also nice to see so much bloodletting in this film, as well. We get lots of the red stuff, in the form of chopped off arms, a very bloody knife stabbing, a couple of nosebleeds, and some head melts onto cement and then peeled away with skin spreading back too. There's more gore in the film, pleasing any real gore fan. Don't be too surprised at the mention of the nosebleeds in the earlier part of the film, they are far bloodier than you can think. One last thing about the gore: don't expect Fulci/Romero style gore in here. Think instead of supernatural artery blood flow. Nothing just trickles out, this stuff gushes out in spades. The special effects in the film are also first rate. To see people being hurled into walls propelled by flashing electrical bolts, or the fate of the whole crew at the end, this is full of great special effects. Even better still, the film sets up the last half of it as a series of chilling set-pieces and non-stop shocks, all because the middle half is so brilliantly put together. The suspense is incredibly unnerving, and following the group as they explore the facility, unsure of what they're going to find. This is a great attribute for a film.The Bad News: Those going in expecting a killer creature film, like I did, will be disappointed by what I have to say next, so if you are planning on watching the film, don't read the next few sentences. There is absolutely no killer animals in the film. The only damage an animal does in the film is a small scratch that hardly anyone would feel if it happened to them. This is far more supernatural flick than anything, so it can be a little bit of a downer when it sets up attacks that don't come. The film also has the most annoying characters of recent times. The animals rights thing I'm okay with, but that really doesn't excuse the kinds of characters in this film. They are so retarded that I finally decided to make a comment on it. Being a person who's very tolerant of bad acting, this is bordering on the ridiculous. It's more of how stupid they react in their situation than anything. You have to see it to believe it.The Final Verdict: Bad acting and a real shocker of a plot line may be offset by some great suspense scenes and tons of gore. It may be equaled out, but that is all in the eye of the beholder. Give it a shot if you like this kind of film, you may be surprised. Just be careful that it's very hit or miss.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, animals in danger, and scenes of drug use
