... View MoreIt’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
... View MoreThe story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
... View MoreI've seen lots of zombie,walking dead,whatever you want to call them, films.Some good ,some bad,most of them bad actually.This one was a bad one.I knew it was gonna be bad when the opening credits were those cheesy looking graphics you can make on a computer.So a crazy doctor runs a clinic where he does experiments trying to bring the dead back to life.He is working on a serum and is trying different version of it on his victims or patients or whatever you want to call them.The ones who don't turn out right,which is all of them,are kept locked in the basement.So anyway eventually if you keep enough re-animated dead in the basement you'll slip up and things will get out of hand.Actually even though this movie was plodding and pointless there was lots of blood and gore but the downside is that it wasn't done very well.They sure gave it a go with the blood and guts but I just sort of sat there waiting for this mess to end.A little bit of walking dead boobies was shown but in addition to being dead they were silicone too,a double yucko.Skip over this German made crap-fest even though it has a cool looking DVD box.The box drew me in and now I warn you so you won't make the same mistake as I did.
... View MoreAs with his last film, Alien Abduction, Eric Forsberg does amazing work with a small budget. I would really be eager to see what he could do with more money. His actors are all excellent and the script has good plot twists and lots of humor. The special effects are turn-away scary, and his monster/ghoul/zombie things show unique individuality not usually seen in this type of film. I really liked the plot twist at the end, something he also did in Alien Abduction and I didn't see either of them coming. Mr. Forsberg is a most talented screenwriter and director, limited only by budget. Somebody give this guy a huge chunk of money and let him make a first rate film, I know he could do it.
... View MoreThis film made it into a lot of festivals. It's second fest was last night and it won. Best make up effects.I love exceptional gore and when I work on a film I always strive to fill the screen with blood. In the case of Night of the Dead, Leben Tod, the people behind the make-up were tireless and eager to kill things. So, Congratulations to Tom Devlin and 1313 Effects for their hard work and abundant body parts. Also a big congrats to Gage Hubbard for his contributions, they were amazing ... and Kazuyuki Okada who was always on set ready with the blood. As well, a nod to the second unit director, Charles Schneider who has a romance with gore like no one else. Also, as good as the make up was it was made to look its very best by the excellent editing of Mary Ann Skweres.This award is for the make up artists, the visual team and the film itself. Congrats to all.THIS MOVIE IS AN EXPLOSION OF SANGUINIS INNARDS
... View MoreI think Eric is all about having fun! And not being afraid to have GORY fun in the industry! He's like the kid who runs into the kitchen to glee-ishly show mom the squishy worms he just dug up in his muddy palm. He knows he'll get that Ooooooo ... ICK! and aghast look of horror ... followed by a loving giggle. Anyone who misses the mastery in achieving this will miss the skill of Eric Forsberg.If you're gonna step into it ... STEP INTO IT!!! I think Eric dove in head first. And as shockingly gross as this film was (YEAH!!!) it provided moments of well-placed humor.The performance by Lola Forsberg was touching. Gee, did I say that about a horror gross-out film? Yep! Hollywood, keep your eye on her.Watch it the first time to adjust to it ... watch it the second time to just enjoy it.I have a further note on the Message Boards for this film.Liz
