“Death Cycle” (** out of four) was an over-the-top slasher melodrama about a young woman (Kristen Kaster) reeling from the death of her sister who is visited by a man (Matthew Ninaber) looking to solve the ongoing grisly murders from a motorcycle maniac murderer but they soon realize he is coming after both of them and they need to unite together to survive. Not bad by the admittedly low standards of these things thanks to some stylish direction from director Gabriel Carrer but marred by in-your-face and gratuitous violence that leaves a bad taste.
