Lucky Bastard (2014)
6/10
It has a very poor climax.....

Warning: Spoilers
Lucky ahem is an adult website run by Mike that invites fans to have you know what with exotic stars. Dave is an eager young fan given a chance to have sex with the fabulous Ashley Saint.

But everyone gets more than they bargained for in the seemingly mild-mannered Dave... with gruesome results......

The concept is very sound and fresh for the found footage sub-genre, which is my favourite sub-genre ever since the Blair Witch tipped over someone's camera.

The concept for all I know could be real for all i know, and up until the final act, it works really well. From the get go, we all know that Dave 'isn't right', he has a demeanour that wants you running for the hills, but the makers know that they have something special, but all the while you are shaking your head at the crew, as there are red flags right from the get go. But the industry is all about money and greed, so you know, you reap what you sow.

Dave is a meek character to begin with, but he soon rattles Ashleys chains when he says her real name, and he mentions her private life.

Should have ended the project there.

But no, the crew give him another chance, and as soon as they say action, he has acted very quick, if you know what I mean.

From there on, they begin to mock him, and laugh at him, and this really grinds his gears.

As soon as you can say 'predictable', Dave begins to turn psychotic, and we learn more about him that we shouldn't know about.

And this is where the film falters, It doesn't do anything original, it's just the same 'please don't hurt me' faff that these films have been doing for the last twenty or so years, which is a shame, because it could have been something so much more.
