Rezension von voliveri

This is a morality tale about naive bandmates, tempted by a music mogul promising to make all their dreams come true. Since this is a horror movie, you already know there's a catch. A decent script, strong performances by supporting actress Sara Scott and leads Larry Bates and Darrow Igus, and a different take on Haitian zombie mythology make this an entertaining, if not exceptional, experience.

I admit I was hooked on this movie immediately, and it held my attention for most of its run-time. The pace is slow but it didn't drag--I attribute this, in part, to Igus's gravity, and also to Sara Scott's acting chops and beauty. Igus isn't required to demonstrate great range in this role, but he's very effective as the antagonist.

As stated earlier, the writing, for the most part, is capable, with the exception of the denoument, which feels rushed and unearned. Moreover, it's not clear that anyone learned what they needed to. The special effects and creature make-up are not very good, but I was into the story and leads enough to overlook those details.

Full Moon loves their morality tales. Unlike some of the other movies they've done, this one doesn't rise above the generic expectations, but it does meet them most of the time. It's not a movie I would tell you to seek out, but as I said, I enjoyed it.
