Hell Walks the Earth

Indiana zombies go on a slow-moving rampage in this amateur production. After his fiancée is run over by a car in the town of Darkside, Mike is very angry and punches a hole in a wall of his house with his fist and finds a hidden book and human skull -- and bloodying up his hand in the process. The book, written by Mike's deceased devil-worshiping father, describes how bleeding on the town's ground will bring the dead back to life. So what does Mike do? He drives to the local cemetery, unbandaged hand still bleeding, and inadvertently raises the dead. What follows is a decidedly low-grade invasion of 10, maybe 15 zombies that eat some of the movie's small cast. There isn't much to praise here. It plays like an unfinished film, with subpar acting and dialogue that consists mostly of people yelling incoherently. Most of the action has characters getting in and out of cars to either encounter or escape from zombies. The black-and-white, camcorder-level photography is okay but the version I saw was shown in a strangely letter-boxed format with a blurry image.

To be honest and to be fair, I haven't always been the biggest fan of Vincent Gallo. I was there for Truth or Consequences N. M. starting Vincent Gallo. I decided right then and there that I would give the guy a chance. I was there for Buffalo 66 staring Vincent Gallo and I was floored by the acting of Vincent Gallo. The world of film needs this man, this force of nature to continue doing what he does best, what Vincent Gallo does best. Then there was Brown Bunny, and man oh man, I'll tell you what, Vincent Gallo. Vincent Gallo did the unimaginable, Vincent Gallo did the impossible. Vincent Gallo put the I in Team,he put the O in Oh Mamma. There's no words. Vincent Gallo.
