I picked this DVD up with several other low budget flicks at a store going out of business. It was the best $3.00 I've spent in a long time! The Sore Losers is about aliens sent to kill 12 hippies each. The only problem is, if you don't kill enough, or you kill too many, you are screwed. This movie has plenty of what most low budget sci-fi and horror fans look for, ie lots of nudity and a surreal story line that borders on nonsense.The thing that really got me is that the actress D'Lana looks an awful lot like Melissa from the reality show "Joe Millionare." I've tried to search and see if it was her, but can't really tell. If you are looking for a good way to kill an hour or so, and you like the low(est) budget stuff you can find, this film is worth it.

If forced to chose only one horror movie to watch, this would be the one. I can't express how much I love this movie! While it is not very faithful to Lovecraft's short story, it certainly stands on its own merits. It is filled with the type of humorous gore and violence you expect from low-budget 80's flicks, yet it goes deeper than just a cheap thrill. Whether or not the film is intended to evoke existential questions, it succeeds in doing so by forcing the viewer to ask what happens to the body/mind after death. What are the limitations of science and the modern quest for immortality? Are we merely ghosts inhabiting fleshly machines, and if so, what happens when the machine has an existence apart from the ghost? This movie was actually the basis of a paper I wrote for my Religion and Film class in college, and I highly recommend it to both the horror fan and the amateur philosopher. Even if you don't remember the questions it evokes, you'll remember the what the headless zombie has a taste for!
