Left for Dead is a 2007 Canadian slasher film and the debut film for Mindscape Films, described by director Christopher Harrison as "an '80s slasher flick",[1] similar to John Carpenter's Halloween series.
The students of a Canadian town throw wild parties full of drugs, sex, and lost inhibitions every year at Halloween. But one Halloween, an uninvited guest comes for a visit. He wears a Halloween mask while he decimates the pleasure-seekers with a machete. Tommy, a party-goer, witnesses the murder of his friend Freddy, but neither the police nor friends believe him, and the corpse has vanished. Tommy harbors a terrible suspicion as the very bloody spectacle continues.
Left for Dead was filmed in Hamilton, Ontario in Canada.[2]
The film was released on 16 October 2009 in Germany[3] and came out in North America in 2010.
