Lucky Bastard (2014)
4/10
Not as bad as I expected
27 September 2023
"Lucky B word (imdb warned me that I had used an offensive word!) is a found-footage style horror/thriller/soft adult movie about a website with the same name that has a competition in which the winner gets to have sex - on film - with an adult movie star. The lucky guy in question is Dave (Jay Paulson), a seemingly quiet and shy fella who is a touch odd. The delightful Betsy Rue plays Ashley, his prize. I remember seeing her very naked in a bit part in the "My Bloody Valentine" remake but thankfully she plays one of the leads here. She does spend a lot of time nude, which is very nice, though she does also demonstrate her acting skills which are pretty good. In fact I found most of the acting to be OK. I watched the trailer first and was not impressed, thankfully the movie itself proved to be not too bad. Found footage had been done to death but this at least makes a change to the countless ghost and zombie ones. A lot of the footage was filmed from static CCTV cameras as opposed to somebody doing shaky cam with a handheld one, thankfully. I was quite glad to see the end credits as my interest had started to wane and I certainly wouldn't watch it again but like I said it wasn't the piece of crap that I was expecting.
