For those who enjoy senseless violence, torture, and all the blood and gore that comes with it, the movie Lasso does deliver. On the other hand, there are no well fleshed out characters, a comprehensible storyline, or even decent acting skills.
Lasso was written by Roberto Marinas and directed by Evan Cecil, and it is set at Hackett Ranch, a place that has been a location for the killer cult tales for the past century. According to these, a cult would come to the town and abduct people. But these are just myths, right?
The movie follows kit (Lindsey Morgan) and Simon (Andrew Jacobs), a couple of tour guides who take a group of elderly individuals to witness rodeo events, and it is entertaining to see a group of old people on a bus. There are a few minor character stories in there too. Most of them are focused on Kit and Simon giving some light commentary on animal abuse.
The picture slowly unfolds and adds many additional characters, and finally moves on to the killing and the show. Surprisingly, 100 years has passed, and all the cowboys do is attempt to support the rodeo. They have a passion for killing people in many different ways while shooting horse steroids into their veins.
A large cast means a great deal of potential victims and, whether it was accident or on purpose, it may amuse you a few times. Like the one armed cowboy turning into a no armed cowboy, or the elderly pensioner who was swung by her hair into a tree. That one was akin to Friday the 13th, barring the sleeping bag.
But, the constant frantic pace that marks the entire film makes it a tad more enjoyable. Hardly a moment passes before another victim falls into the slaughter’s violent and grim embrace. Blood has always been in surplus in the film.
But this does highlight the faults in the story and lackluster character detail. The former becomes almost inconsequential and the latter is so poorly executed that it literally gets drowned in blood and guts. With no character to attach oneself to, all there is left to do is enjoy the splatter, which is entertaining at first; but as one becomes numb to it all, the joy truly disappears at the end.
All in all, Lasso satisfies even with it being subpar in comparison with other splatter films that are entertaining at parts and have savagery to remember. However, if you are looking for a good story, neatly paced and well acted film, then you are seeking in the completely wrong direction.
