Reviews
SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Scarecrow-88 Goofy, cheap gore-flick from Ohio's own JR Bookwalter(The Dead Next Door) has cop, Eddie Boone(James Black)tangling with the malformed agents of a drug pushing monster(..once a human being who evolved into what looks like a talking protoplasm, with a pig's head)who has created a drug called Ozone which turns your body into something quite grotesque. This monster who sits in a swivel chair ordering his posse, whose faces bulge these bulb-like warts, to commandeer Eddie, wishes to use him as the next step in an evolutionary ladder with Ozone providing the change. Most of the film displays Eddie's nightmarish night of dodging the villains while suffering bouts of hysteria caused by part of the Ozone drug that was injected in his arm when he lost his partner on a drug bust gone awry.Lots of outrageous gore for fans of the ultra-violence. A druggie's head explodes when he ingests too much of Ozone. A human body dissolves into a skeleton. A head is crushed under the tire of a driving car. An arm is severed with the wound bleeding. A female gives birth to Eddie's demon baby! The monster of the film is a badly designed costume, with the actor's voice mechanically altered. When Eddie and Justine(Lori Scarlett), the female he is seduced by who is in league with the monster, transform momentarily into these hideous beasts(..a severe case of mutation) while embracing for a sexual encounter. The director depends heavily on the morphing process utilized in Terminator 2. When humans begin to transform, their faces and skin often bubble! Eddie's world, presented in the film, is basically a series of run-ins with the monster's zombie agents, and his escapes. A lot of the film has Eddie working through the city under siege much like Snake Pliskin in Escape from New York. Close encounters, staying one step ahead when all hope seem lost. The special effects are as low budget as it gets, but there's a charm to Bookwalter's films that might rub off on those just seeking a flick to consume 90 minutes. It has enough insanity, I believe, to please an audience looking for such over-the-top grue and strange characters.
rhob1960 I'm not going to say that all movies made on video are crap just because they have little or no budget! No! But rarely, rarely have I seen one worth squat and this is one of them. Filmwork-Bad. Screenplay-Bad. Acting-non-existent. SFX- worse that The Incredible Shrinking Man. Bookhalter or Bookwalter should at least take a few classes at a community college, or read a book before he ever attempts to make another film, if he hasn't done humanity a favor and stopped already! Go rent out Invisible Invaders or The Giant Behemoth or the Brain from Planet Arous and have a good time. Don't watch this! You've been warned.
amarlequin The movie runs for an hour and twenty minutes and it does nothing except prove that even good movie ideas can be ruined if not handled well. The acting is piss poor and the " zombie -mutants " don't even raise a laugh. While it is true that lack of money can seriously cramp one's style the fact that this movie is bad is not related to low budget but rather to low standards. Haphazard story lines, cliched dialogues ,poor lighting, crude sfx and an unsurprising twist at the end make this movie a must for masochists and insomniacs.
gav-1 It took me three days to watch this film because i had to stop it so many times i dont mean to insult the director or the actors but i dont think they even tried its a very bad film i wouldnt even waste your timeThe picture on the back sold it to me dont be fooled its not good leave it alone go for a walk outside or take a nap its just not worth it
