Very Bad Things [HD]

Probably one of the darkest comedies out there...
If you don't like dark comedy at all, you'll probably hate this movie like so many of the other reviewers. That's a shame, because Very Bad Things is just wicked, and that's what makes it great. I actually went to see this in the theater when it first came out. I was definitely shocked, and quite pleased, to see something like this as it was different than most shiny, happy people movies out there. I can't even think of another movie to liken it to. A group of guys go to Vegas for a bachelor party. Lots of drugs and partying, and a gorgeous stripper who winds up dead. It's purely an accident, and the group covers things up. Or so they think. But there's a lot of loose ends and loose cannons and the fun in this movie is watching them all get tied. Christian Slater is just wonderful and if you love him, you'll love this movie. I couldn't have been more delighted to find it for $5.50. The ending is probably the most disturbing of all, so for all those dark comedy fans, Very Bad Things is...

definitely dark and at times very humorous
yes they have done some very bad things. great movie

shocks you, scares you, thrills you, chills you, makes you laugh all at once almost. highly recommend this one. it's different roles for each character. and they play their parts part well. I was definitely shocked after seeing this the first time thru. I shall watch it again and again. the ending is nice. the story is very twisted at times. but I think it helps the viewer think of what might happen next before they show it. I am glad I have this on dvd. a true shocking classic movie. That goes to show you that when you do "very bad things" sooner or later your conscience will eat away at you for them and you'll either beg and confess or something else. quite a shock of a movie they made. but it's worth the watch always

Not for everyone
If you watch this movie at a very shallow level, only looking at the gory scenes and the unfortunate outcomes, then yes, it's a horrible movie. But seasoned movie watchers who know how to go deeper and see beyond the ugly surface will find this to be a very interesting and well-made movie. It is a portrayal of how extreme circumstances, fear and guilt can make ordinary people do things that are totally out of the ordinary, how one small mistake can eventually culminate into devastating the lives of so many - it's like watching an entire mountain burn down from one little cigarette. Some hate it. I respect that. But I LOVE it.
