Don't listen to the negative reviews

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Yea the plot is inconsistent, marginal acting, a tad bit like a school movie. But you can see that they tried. They had fun making the movie, which made fun of the genre. Scenes were stitched together OK. Lots of gore, but at least not a slasher. A supernatural slasher! candyman is in it, the guy from the hills have eyes, and a couple more ringers.bored? TV sucks? then this is worth a watch

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.

What the hell did I just watch? This movie sure is horrifying...ly bad. I am ashamed that i even sat through this disaster. I mean i think i even felt a little sick watching it. Bad acting, Worse cinematography, even worse directing, terrible audio and songs used. I wont give any spoilers away but I would suggest getting a home video camera, putting a nice fresh coat of paint on a wall, film it, and then watch it when it's done. Doing this will be more entertaining and less embarrassing then watching this train wreck of a film. Have you ever felt third party embarrassment when watching something really awkward? Well watching this made me feel horribly embarrassed for the director. How could he release such a bad movie. I don't know. But hey maybe thats your thing. 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!
