... View MoreThis movie started out promising enough but it started to become weird and messy soon after that.It's absurd how many things this movie tries to be. It doesn't really fit into one genre because of that and it makes you unsure how to take this movie. It starts out as a serious mystery movie, then it becomes suddenly a zombie kung-fu flick and a spoof of about every every well known classic or cult horror movie. I often say it is a good thing for these low budget type of movies to not take itself so seriously but in this particular I was actually still digging this movie when it was being serious. It was when it became silly and more comedy like that I started to get annoyed and disappointed with this movie.I can definitely see and understand what the film-makers were trying to do and achieve though. They tried to be like a Robert Rodriguez movie, that goes over-the-top with things and is a nod to some cult classics out of the horror genre. Kind of like from "From Dusk Till Dawn", only Jose Prendes clearly ain't no Robert Rodriguez and he isn't half as talented as he is. None of the ideas really work out in this movie because it goes into way too many different directions and only becomes an huge mess to watch because of that.So this movie is many things but yet it also isn't good with being any of these things. It isn't a good horror, it isn't a good zombie flick, it isn't a good comedy, it isn't a good gory/action blood-fest. No, I just can't imaging anybody liking this movie as anything. In this case you also really can't blame the low budget for that, since it was the directing and writing that made this simply one huge mess to watch.Guess it still has some mildly entertainment value to it because I just didn't hate this movie as much as I often hate modern low budget horror movies. But there is no reason for anyone to ever go and see this movie.3/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/
... View MoreTwo things straight off the bat, that hurt this film. Number one as the original reviewer mentioned the kicks on the zombies are way off, and hit nothing but air. I'm sympathetic to low budgets', but it's hard to focus when our lead hero is children's play fighting with the hordes of living dead. Second, Prendes is not an actor. Honestly I thought he did okay, if you keep that fact in mind, but he still doesn't hit the right notes at all, and really bogs down the film. It's odd, because the rest of the cast is excellent. Scream queens Rochon, Stevens, Quigley, and Rose all together in one film, was a huge plus. And Richard Lynch chews the scenery like the veteran genre pro he is. What I personally enjoyed about Corpses, is it's unique. So many zombie films be they big budget studio epics, or micro budget indie efforts, all try and recreate the magic of Romero, but Corpses dares to be different. In fact, if your looking for a zombie carnage film, you'll be disappointed, the zombies are never intimidating, and our heroes pretty much get past them with little effort. This is basically a supernatural spy film, with a solid story, and multiple twists.
... View MoreI enjoyed this movie. No its not a great movie, but i felt it was well done camp. You cant take the movie itself seriously, but the movie plays off this, it isn't meant to be serious, scary or believable. This movie doesn't have pretensions, and i found it much more entertaining than say, club dread... (which was given a theatrical release.) i thought it was enjoyable, and very wisely had a runtime of 120 mins. And the devil looks very much like marlon brando, I'm surprised no one else has commented on this. I felt the storyline was very original, a nice change of pace from all the "teenagers visiting woods/secluded rural community" genre films (cabin fever excepted). If you want a little over an hour of mindless entertainment, and are willing to exercise suspension of disbelief, maybe check it out..... Or at least if you are contemplating renting club dread check this out instead..
... View MoreThis movie had potential to be so much more, but I believe its ultimate downfall was weaving too many story lines and plot twists into one movie. I loved the idea of the CIA operative Malcolm Grant/Quint taking the experimental truth serum, but the idea is constantly given a backseat to the zombie storyline, which succumbs to the government conspiracy storyline, which later takes a backseat to the devil storyline. Oh yeah, every time the CIA guy takes the serum, he suffers from amnesia. Once the Devil has been defeated the story then reverts back to a generic "destroy all zombies" storyline. I would like to see Prendes do this movie again without the zombies/government conspiracy/devil plot lines and make a psychological thriller about a CIA operative taking part in the experimental truth serum program to catch the bad guy.
