Nekrotronic

Saw this on Amazon Prime and my expectations were pretty low. I was really surprised by the acting, story,humour and effects, all of which were great especially considering the low budget. Couldn't help being be reminded of Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 1 episode 8 'I robot you Jane'. Well done Shudder Originals. Well worth a watch.

Found this funny and clever and genrally very well done and a cool story

Really has a cult classic feeling like Shaun of the dead with all the science behind Ghostbusters. Has good comedy and gore, but enough plot and twists to keep you watching to the end.

I was debating if I wanted to watch this based off the mixed reviews and I highly enjoyed it. It's nowhere near a perfect film, but my rating is based off the amount of fun I had watching it. I have always enjoyed over the top violent B-Grade sci-fi monster movies that make me laugh. This filled all of the criteria for those things, it wasn't overly long, and it didn't take itself seriously. So I would recommend giving this a chance if you're on the fence about it especially based on all the negativity around it like I was.

The most important thing one should know about this film is: "Nekrotonic" is a truly guilty pleasure for anyone who's into gunfirghts, gore and flat jokes. Now, let's elaborate this by numbers. This is a second work of Kiah Roache-Turner ("Wyrmwood"), and most of his style also appears here. That means - lots of action, decent amount of blood and guts, comic-style characters, and cheesy dialogues. The good news is all of this works good in this kind of movie. The basic concept (Nekromancers vs. Demons) looks like "Ghostbusters", but with an R-rating. There's also references to horror classics (such as "Hellraiser" and "Exorcist"), but not much. The acting is not the most attractive side of this film (Monica Bellucci is clearly overacting, but I'm sure that's the point here), so just foeget about it. Enjoy the little things. Like old-fashioned SFX (less CGI, more good prosthetics), pretty girls with guns, and good soundtrack. I mean - where else you can see slime-covered badass girl killing demon-possessed people with "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" by wonderful Andy Williams on the background? Yes, zero character development. Yes, really bad jokes. But if you're looking for a bloody and fast-paced mix of a horror, action and comedy - you're on the right way.
