Let's start with the pluses for a change.First up: Cerina Vincent's body. I have no idea if she can act. I've seen her in numerous pictures but none of them has called on her to do more than run about and scream. INTERMEDIO is no exception.Second up: there are some good actors involved, people without tube tops and jiggle.Unfortunately, that's about it. Everything else is painfully derivative. Four kids get trapped in a Mexican town and are menaced by ghosts (or some such nonsense). They run around in tunnels. They run around in abandoned buildings. They run up and down ladders. They scream and pant and hug each other a lot.The ghosts are either CGI blurs or people in glow-in-the-dark skeleton costumes moving in fast motion. The blood effects are goofy in the extreme (looking more like poster paint than spray). And there is some physical scuffling that has to be seen to be believed. My favorite moment? A ghost throws a pickaxe at Cerina and she suddenly demonstrates a Matrix-like move, doubling her body backward to avoid the weapon, then leaps about like a kung fu expert to fight off the villain. Hilarious stuff.That's about it, really. This is another flick with no plot twists and no real sense of purpose (unless you count Cerina's fleeing nudity).

This is a standard teens-against-monsters horror quickie, and you know what that means. There is not one iota of originality in this movie; you've seen every one of these recycled plot devices a hundred times before.Stock teen character personality types: check. Stupidly going somewhere they shouldn't be: check. In the middle of nowhere: check. Grotesque, vicious ghosts/creatures of some kind that get a kick out of killing teens: check. Teens turning into monsters too, and trying to croak the remaining survivors: check. Weird old man who has a history with the evil: check. Incessant screaming, futile banging on doors to escape, arguing about how to kill the creatures, running around in caves, characters "calming down" each other, lots of red paint on stomachs and necks, surprise attacks from supposed allies on each other, cars that don't run, monsters that just keep on chasing you etc etc etc. Check.The acting and scripting are even below the established low level for this kind of movie. This one is only good for background noise while you're doing chores; or to laugh at it MST3K style. As for a story? Nope.

i like Edward furlong i like horror moviesi did not like 'dead and dying'the editing was trying to be clever- without some of it the movie may not have adopted the 'try hard but shite'conclusion that i give it.drugs must have really messed up furlong because some of his previous films like terminator, American history x (highly recommended) and animal factory have shown him as quite an interesting and talented actor. dead and dying does the opposite. his acting is over the top in places and insufficient in others.i am not happy

I'm sorry but what the hell were these people thinking. This film has got to be one of the worst horror films I have ever seen. The acting was dreadful and the plot/script(if you can even call it that) was so badly written I found myself thinking that watching paint dry may be twice as fun! I understand that this film was low budget but I can think of quite a few low budget films that are really good. I also understand that some low budget horror films are bad to be funny but this film wasn't even funny. The only thing that stopped me from turning off the DVD player was the reason I bought this film in the first place, which was because it has Amber Benson in it. I think the only thing that stopped my brother from getting up and leaving was the fact that he was too entranced by Cerina Vincent's breasts to even notice how much this film sucked. The only things that made me give it a three was that Amber Benson being cut in half was possibly one of the funniest things I've seen this year and my brother taking it off my hands for twice what I bought it for.
