Review of Dead Tone

Dead Tone (2007)
4/10
Standard slasher with some odd script elements
3 May 2011
Everything about this movie is standard stuff. Except for a few points. First, the killer in the first five minutes doesn't seem to have much motivation. Second, there are some really strange scenes. There are two scenes back to back that seemed to exist to promote condom use. It almost came across like it was product placement, although the idea may have been to insert a moral into the movie. Third, some of the characters are nearly offensive in how stereotypical they are. There's a gay character that exists to talk in a stereotyped fey voice. There are two black guys who talk and behave in a stereotyped "black guy" style.

There's nothing compelling about the movie, but aside from these things, there's also nothing worth looking for.
