But it was working on it!
I was soooo disappointed by this one. The cover sports some awards it got, so that was promising. Alas....
The basic plot isn't original, and I won't knock it for any of that. Essentially a comatose patient wakens every now and again to go claim his ex-fiancé's engagement ring (don't worry, the movie makes no attempt to hide this fact from the viewer, hence robbing it of even that mystery).
With a flat shot-on-Digital Video look, and some really underpar actors - who I must say aren't helped by having ridiculous names - and no soundtrack worth mentioning, all we could hope for is some decent violence and gore. But nope, we don't even get that. In fact, they don't even get the ring right - in the opening scenes we learn that a woman wants a "2 carat rock", but the ring in question clearly isn't that.
One other thing - while the lady cop is certainly pretty to look at, she has zero believability in her role. There are two other characters (AKA Victims) in the film that look exactly the same, which doesn't help. And any film that uses props from IKEA (yes folks, I recognise that cheap lamp) also deserves a slap on the wrist. It beggars believe that our lady cop, after having "solved" the case, then ACCEPTS THE SAME RING from her beau, and doesn't even notice! Duh!
So anyway - this movie isn't particularly well written, shot, acted, nor does it include the necessary gore of violence. In fact, it's grade C stuff right from the outset (the first murder is the best as far as gore goes, and that's very very little). It's not worth your time. At the time of writing someone is sellijng it here at Amazon secondhand for 50p. It's a shame you have to pay for the postage and packing, because if that was free it MIGHT be worth half a quid. As it is, it's still overpriced.
Ho-hum.

Film starts off with a woman in a wedding dress being viciously clubbed to death by a man who is then killed by a cop who removes a ring from the bloodied fingers of the girl. Turns out the girl isn't dead but in a coma.
The ring then gets passed around and we see people getting killed.
I thought this had a good plot with actors who did well in their roles. The film moves along nicely with each of the situations introducing us to the next people taking not too long to get to and fairly clever ways the ring is passed on. Theres lots of amusing dialogue, scenes of sex, bloody violence, little scares and surprises. All that was missing was gore but the amount of blood thrown about made up for that. A very entertaining horror thriller.
UK Release. Extras nil just some trailers.

Death by Engagement
20 Nov 2007
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This was a horror movie my wife loved more than me so that is saying something. The characters are really just cliches but great cliches. If you have any friends who ahve gotten married than you have run across these folks usually on the periphary. Great film with a great set of actors including PJ Soles

Musical Chairs.......
9 Nov 2008
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
And when the music stops you don't wanna be the one holding it. This was a great movie, it has everything in it, Its some scenes are funny, and others are grose. The ring pounces around like a ping pong ball, and Pinball. You have to see it for yourself, because you are the only one who knows your taste. Its great to read the rieviews but yopu can't always go with what they say.
