I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

How sad is this?

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I spend a great deal of my life watching invariably disappointing B-movies in the hope that once in a while a gem will come along. ARMY OF THE DAMNED is such a gem: a true surprise in an overcrowded genre, a B-movie that ably mixes humour, gore, action, and tight, focused film-making to make a little crowd-pleasing movie.Don't get me wrong, ARMY OF THE DAMNED is no classic, but it sure as hell is entertaining from beginning to end thanks to a fast pace and plenty of action. The action is centred in and around a single house which seems to have become a gateway to hell, while the various cast members struggle to work out what to do about it. Demonic possession plays a big part and there's a ton of old-school bloodshed for gorehounds to enjoy.The film-makers are clearly horror lovers because they throw in roles for the likes of Tony Todd and Michael Berryman who don't fail to entertain. The special effects are surprisingly decent for the budget and director Tom DeNucci is clearly having a ball, just like this viewer (and what a surprise given his previous movie was the execrable SELF STORAGE!).

Okay, the acting sucked and the 'plot' plods a bit, but if you don't go into watching this movie with high expectations you won't be disappointed. Lots of gratuitous gore and cussing, along the lines of Evil Dead without the panache to draw a cult classic following. A good movie to watch with the guys and play Mystery Science Theatre 3000.I managed to sit through the whole movie, unfortunately. No more enlightened than I was at the start, and I have discovered a new and pervasive loathing for what sounds like Country meets Heavy Metal music!One bonus feature, the cop smoking an E Cigarette was an amusing addition... Unfortunately it was the only memorable moment.

This is a serious "how not to make a movie". Basically if you're a new director or producer, do the opposite of what this movie did. This is the typical movie on the shelf at a gas station for 2.99. First off the Cinematography was poor. It looked like a 7th grade student handed in his first project. The best acting came from Tony Todd but was severely weak compared to his other outings. They billed it like he was the main star but he was in it for maybe 5 whole minutes. Judging by this and the previous "Self Storage" the director and producers have no idea what they are doing. Shooting on a weak DSLR really makes it hard to watch and the poor sound quality and non stop Godsmack songs really kills any horror vibe that they tried to make. I was truly hoping for a decent horror experience but what I found was a lack of experience from the film makers. 1/10

I rated "Army of the Damned" 5 Stars for a variety of reasons. I love horror movies but not with as much gore as this movie. The more it progressed the bloodier it got. If you love guts & gore, you'll like this movie. I thought the camera work was great; for a lower budget movie I was impressed. My primary reason for watching this movie was to check out the acting skills of Sully Erna, the frontman of the band Godsmack, in his first lead role. In his role as Bridge, he proved his talent as an actor. He played the role very well for a first-timer, with just the right combination of sexy likable hometown boy and bad-ass cop rolled into one. Some of his lines intended as "comic relief" were actually funny, instead of cheesy, as they often turn out in horror films like this. I hope to see Erna in higher budget films with better scripts in the future, to give him a better chance to show off his acting skills. He is hot and sex sells!
