Reviews
Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
riff-18 Other reviews make out this is a very poor movie. It is actually not bad at all, especially for late night viewing. From the outset people are trapped in a confined place with something bad living there. The acting is OK and the setting did not need a billion dollars spent on it to get the ambiance right. The only downside is the gore moments are not clearly seen which saves on special effects costs i guess (just use your imagination instead). The best thing about the movie is you never really know whats going to happen next which is a refreshing change from many films today. Kind of like watching the original zombie movies way back in time where you had no way of knowing what the weird thing is capable of next. There are some twists along the way too.
capkronos DEATH FACTORY (2002) was a super-cheap shot-on-video effort from Brad Sykes that starred Scream Queen Tiffany Shepis as a woman exposed to some kind of chemical who turned into a white-faced, S&M clad, zombie-like killing machine (obviously copied from RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD III) who stalked teenagers in an abandoned factory. Though mildly watchable, the film didn't make much of a ripple of the indy horror scene and isn't very well known, so it's a surprise to see that someone even bothered to make a sequel.Hard-edged Ana Romero (Claudia Vargas) is a depressed junkie looking for revenge against the killer(s) of her young daughter; who ended up starring in some sick pervert's snuff tape. The footage somehow ended up online on a website catering to criminals, killers and degenerates. Ana has spent the last two years infiltrating the group to find out where the tape came from and who made it. Through the site, she finds out about a special event called "The Bloodletting;" where for two thousand dollars site members can witness someone being murdered before their very eyes. Since the man she suspects of killing her little girl will be there, Ana decides to attend the event so she can bust a cap in his ass.After passing a frisking (having tucked a gun and bullets safely away ... in her vagina!) she's thrown into a van and shipped off to a brick-making plant where she meets a bunch of sickos from the site; a white supremacist who likes rape and snuff films (Shane Dean), a black pimp (Kareem McRoy), a blonde hooker (Jeanna Coker), a kinky goth chick (Nadine) who walks her slave (Joth Andrews) around on a leash, a fat pedophile (David C. Hayes) and a nerdy budding terrorist (Josh Bingenheimer). Little do they know but they've actually been lured there under false pretenses by religious fanatic Denny (Noah Todd), who wants to punish them for being degenerates and make a little money on the side by making a snuff video of it. Denny doesn't even have to get his hands dirty since he's the brother of Alexa, the mutant killer from the first film. Alexa (Michelle Mousel) has steel claws, metal teeth, is dressed in some kind of leather harness/bikini outfit and needs injections of some kind of special chemical to keep her alive. For what it is, nudity and blood quotients are all adequately met, the leading lady gives a decent enough performance, the film starts out strongly, there are a few decent twists here and there and it all looks a hell of a lot more professional than the first.The film's undoing comes at the hands of a director who seems to have been badly influenced by nearly every single hack horror filmmaker currently flooding the market with their dreary torture-filled, heavy metal-soundtracked, shakycam-riddled, cliché-ridden crap. The premise of people paying to see someone getting killed in a secret facility is obviously copied from HOSTEL. The jittery camera-work and bursts of metal music during nearly every single kill scene is swiped directly from the SAW series. When the characters are first introduced, their names and nicknames, along with their deviant interests, are written out on the screen exactly as it's done in FEAST. There's also numerous pointless freeze frames which Rob Zombie uses in nearly all of his films. I know imitation is supposed to be the sincerest form of flattery, but why anyone would go out of their way to copycat so many mediocre films and filmmakers shows a general lack of taste, as well as talent.
xdiak OK, i rarely rate movies on IMDb; i use this site and rotten tomatoes as a guideline really, but this movie needs some defense. OK: first of all, its a C or C+ movie but i didn't think it was terrible. I thought the characters were very shallow, but they were the deviant of the deviant, and they had 2 girls who were kind of hot - but i digress. Um, not the best for sure, but i have seen many horror movies that the money spent on them was ten times as much and they were ghastly in deliverance. OK, so you have the characters whom are very lightly defined; but what they did represent was the lowest of the low. I don't know if its the Seagram's 7 talking, or i don't remember, but its at least semi interesting to watch.This is NOT Hellraiser, nor is it a Saw 1, or Hostel. Its a simple, sicko, slash'em up, with a plot device of a "Special serum", that apparently makes you crave flesh and want to don claws. Worth watching if you think that all low budget directors CANNOT produce a viable product - because it will prove you wrong.
blackestofsmiths OK so first off i would just like to say i'm a big fan of low budget indi horror films and i'm always willing to give things a chance.....however this is just terrible.it's amazingly by the numbers boring rubbish.tired old death metal music in every scene involving the creature or deaths.pathetic blood splashing on walls/people etc when we get to the 'gore' scenes.i urge people not to waste any time on this film you WILL have seen it all before and done much better.i couldn't even be bothered to check out the extras for this as i was a struggle just to get through the film.why oh why do people keep churning this nonsense out?? i love horror films but god almighty come on people lets at least make something worth a watch.
