Seepage!

This film by Richard Griffin is better by leaps and bounds than his last film, Raving Maniacs. The story in it's simplest is very straight forward and simple, there's a monster and hey guess what.. it's killing people. But the script has enough twists in it so you stay engaged in the story without getting confused by some overly pretentious and convoluted turn of events.

All the acting here is good with appropriate tongue-in-cheek-ness that one would expect in this kind of horror film. We're not talking all start A-list good or anything here, but these people in the film are definitely worlds ahead of some indie horror films where someone calls up his buddies who don't know a thing.

My personal favorite is Adam Brown playing Bubba. Right from the opening of the movie, Bubba breaks the 4th wall and acts as a bit of a narrator for the film. He breaks in doing this at a few different points. Not only is Bubba pretty funny, he also serves to send the audience a message of "Hey, kick back. Don't take this too seriously and have some fun." And that's what you get with Seepage. You get a good pile of fun that pokes fun at the horror genre. It's an indie horror film where you laugh with a "Hey that's pretty funny" rather than a "Wow look how bad they are." There's a lot to enjoy here an no one who goes into this with a good attitude will be disappointed.

This was actually a lot of fun - campy silliness and, for something with about the same budget that most people spend a year on burgers, it was plenty entertaining. If you're in the "easily offended" category, maybe watch something else - there are just a few moments where the fragile will find themselves wanting to post complaints on social media about inappropriate stereotyping and humour etc... so save yourself the time and watch something else, you'll much happier! For those with thicker skin and an irreverent and yes sometimes inappropriate sense of humour, you'll probably get a few giggles. Bonus points for liberal use of squelchy monsters, and finishing with a fun ending.

Then immediately order a copy of "Nun of That." "Creature From the Hillbilly Lagoon" is not worth your time. It has "nun" of the sharp characterizations or dark humor of "Nun of That." What "Creature From the Hillbilly Lagoon" does have is terribly derivative script wrapped around characters you could care less about. The acting can only be described as below even the lowest low budget standards. Most likely you will be living with the fast forward button. I know I was. In fact my finger is sore from blowing through all of the infantile dialog and stupidity. This is not "good bad", it is just bad, and you have been warned. Proceed at your own peril. - MERK

For a micro-budget movie, this was not only highly entertaining, but a laugh riot. Griffin doesn't pull the punches when it comes to remaining PC...so if you're easily offended (or even if you're not), expect to be. The film is well shot, the acting is ludicrous and over-the-top (exactly as it should be), and the writing is superb.

Many film makers try and hack their way through a story, just to push out a feature. But Scorpio Film Releasing, Richard Griffin, and Ted Marr do it with panache. Their films pull all the stops possible from a micro-budget, and one of the reasons I think their films are so damn entertaining, is not just because Griffin has been working in the industry for well over a decade, but because the cast and crew have such an awesome chemistry together--and this energy and chemistry reads to the audience.

Great, fun, hicksploitation film.
