Ghoul Scout Zombie Massacre

Sure, when I sat down to watch the 2018 movie "Ghoul Scout Zombie Massacre", I wasn't exactly having much of any expectations for the movie, given the movie's title and the movie's cover. Yet, on the off chance that the movie might actually be one of those rare movies that prove to be so bad that they are great, then I sat down to watch "Ghoul Scout Zombie Massacre".

Well, I managed to watch 42 minutes of the movie that ran nearly two hours long. But well before those 42 minutes, I must admit that I was good and ready to get up and turn off the ordeal two or three times. This movie was bad, really, really bad.

The storyline was just a random heap of nonsense, and it felt like writer and director Eric Eichelberger was just making up things as he went along with filming the project. There was no red thread throughout the course of this movie.

As for the acting in "Ghoul Scout Zombie Massacre", well, let's just say that you know what you are in for here when you sit down to watch the movie. There were no memorable performances, nor were there any particularly outstanding performances to witness.

"Ghoul Scout Zombie Massacre" felt like a movie that was made by a teenager for teenagers; there was way too much focus on naked women and pseudo-lewd behavior. It just felt very infantile.

This movie was a horribly boring movie, and I have absolutely no interest in returning to watch the rest of the movie. Those prolonged 42 minutes were a struggle to get through, and believe you me, I wasn't the least bit entertained.

My rating of "Ghoul Scout Zombie Massacre" is a mere one out of ten stars. This was definitely one of the worst movies that I have stumbled upon.

Ghoul Scout Zombie Massacre consists of 3 parties. One, is of a D&D nerd rockband, that unfortunately does not effectively parody nerd culture or band culture like other films and shows have done successfully, thus I wonder why these character elements were included. The second party is a bunch of prison inmates (I think) led by a nazi she wolf esque characters. Most of their actions are them fitting the dumb bimbo stereotype. There acting is bad, as I assume it is intended, though not bad enough to be funny. The final party is the gay Mad Scientist and his slave. The Dr wasn't so bad as an actor, decent actually. The patsy character was a bit too over the top for me. Over all reminds me of something like Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, but not as fun and with a lot more angst and sex stuff. Also, for a zombie movie, zombies don't show up until 50 minutes in and even when they do they don't have a lot to do with the film, with scenes of the characters playing spin the bottle and truth or dare during the outbreak.

I spent my socially distant Halloween watching this movie, and it did not disappoint. Kind of a mash up of George Romero and John Waters with absolutely zero budget, Ghoul Scout is a very intentional B movie. It's fast paced and trashy with lots of dark humor, exactly as it should be. The sibling/villains had great energy together, and you could tell the whole cast was having a blast. Definitely recommend watching this with a group (safely over Zoom if you're reading this during the pandemic).

The time, love and energy put into this absurdly hilarious film is apparent. An instant cult classic!

The time I spent watching this movie back, and brain bleach. It's right up there with such fine films as Howard the Duck, Spaced Invaders, and It's Pat. Go watch paint dry or grass grow. That'll be more entertaining.
