Reviews
Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Michael Ledo The movie opens with gratuitous nudity and zombie kills. We don't know where they come from, but they have abnormal strength and blueish faces. The dialouge was juvenile, in a Pee-Wee Herman sort of way. You can hear the wind whistle through the outside microphone.The classroom scene looks like the teacher and student segment where filmed at different times as the lighting and sound vary greatly as the conversation goes back and forth. The mismatch is again repeated when Sarah is called to the admin building and speaks to an administrator of the college who looks younger than her. She sounds crisp, while the administrator sounds like he is in a fishbowl. He sits at a desk with a wooden brown top. Sarah (Ciara Richards of Chainsaw Cheerleaders) sits across from him and the desk top is white. Like the classroom, we never see the two people having the conversation together at the same time.So pathetic it is funny.Adrianna Eder, who play Allison is one of the movie's worst actors as she attempts to deliver trite and predictably bad lines with conviction. Andrea Owenby has a small role as the side kick of Clare.
ZombieRanger This film is an oddity, it's shot on different film stocks(actually video formats). It was clearly expanded with new unrelated scenes edited into its' runtime. More gore and nudity seemed to have been spliced in. The scenes that include Tiffany Shepis, have a much darker tone then when our heroines are together. The acting is all over the board, ranging from awful to quirky. What made this movie for me however is not the movie itself. The film ends at roughly 65 minutes, but there is a 7 min scene following the initial credits, that actually had me burst out laughing, and what was so surprising was that it was supposed to be funny! This felt like a student film and it probably started as one. I wouldn't recommend this to everyone, but there does seem to be some heart in it.
Anthony Pittore III (Shattered_Wake) Synopsis: Clare (Jackey Hall) and Julie (Andrea Ownbey), the campus snobs of Arkham University, are attempting to seek their own brand of revenge on goth girl Sarah (Ciara Richards) and her friend Allison (Adrianna Eder). When the campus is overrun by zombies, the snobs see a good opportunity to get back at their black-clad enemies. Unfortunately, things may not go as smoothly as Clare & Julie want and they might be the zombies' prey instead. . .Review: This is about as bad as a zombie flick can get these days. Other than the attractive females that like to take their clothes off, there isn't a single positive element to this stinkfest. It's not funny, it's not scary, it's just horrible. The story, if there is one, makes little sense at all. The script (if there actually was one and it wasn't just a bunch of idiots running around speaking in 90s clichés) is offensively bad, and it's only worsened by sincerely THE worst acting I've ever seen in my life (no exaggeration). I mean, these people make walking look difficult. They make Keanu Reeves look like Laurence Olivier. As the film progresses to the actual 'zombie invasion' (which, strangely, wasn't the first ten minutes when zombies were wandering all over campus), it only gets worse and worse. The direction during 'action' (for lack of a better word) scenes is almost unwatchable. Hell, even during the still shots, the camera-work is pathetic. By the end, it's a grueling experience to get through and I, with my very high tolerance for total crap, barely made it through. This is, without a doubt, one of the worst films I have ever seen and will probably ever see. Avoid at all costs.Obligatory Zombie Elements:Cause of Outbreak: The spread of blood of a zombie brought back to the states by some idiot professor. . . or something.Zombie Characteristics: They're mostly slow, shambling, etc., except for the occasional one with superhuman strength and kung fu abilities.Zombie Effects: Apparently powdered sugar and ketchup = Zombie faces. Not even remotely terrifying or realistic.Violence/Gore: There may be quite a bit of zombie violence, but the gore is just ridiculously bad and some of the worst I've ever seen. If strawberry syrup and Fruit Roll-Ups are disgusting gore to you, then this is the film for you.Sex/Nudity: The film spends the first ten or so minutes acting like softcore porn, but that ends abruptly and the rest of the film is spent mostly clothed.- - Final Verdict: 1/10. Truly, truly painful.Recommended? I would not wish this curse upon anyone.-AP3-
danthewrestlingmanorigin All right first I'll vent my beefs' with the film. Number one the makeup and gore effects were pretty bad, even for a no budget film. Plus there was no suspense, or zombie money shots. Second the soundtrack, which had a couple decent rock tunes, but also featured some really weird out of place techno music during a love scene, that was quite laughable. Number three and maybe this isn't so bad, the film only went barely an hour. Really a three rating is generous, the only good thing I can say is the women looked good, and Tiffany Shepis is always a pleasure to watch. Speaking of Tiffany, she has a lesbian scene in this film, that ends way to soon and shows little. Other then that, this film really should have upped the sleaze factor, as the brief nudity in the film was all it had going for it. Sorry to say skip this one.
