..thanks for the 'best in show' review. This movie WAS filmed in a local community theater building for 3,000 bucks in 6 days. There WAS a plot, but about a third of it didn't make it on film. Someday I'll write a 'tell all' about the experience...but until then, I'll just enjoy the fact that a movie filmed on video for minimum budget can STILL

be released on DVD. The real scary part was walking into 20/20 Video one day and seeing it on the new releases. The SCARIEST scary part was the the executive producer thought the only REAL way to kill a vampire was if you were a werewolf (who never transformed) and used a magic sword. Someone did WAY too much drugs in his youth...

ExCUSE me, but my tongue was TOO in my cheek when we filmed this piece o' poop. As the evil sister with hair that Mommy Dearest would envy, I did my very best to channel Tim Curry in Rocky Horror. I'm sad that this did not come across... Ah well, a friend compared it to a 'rock bottom budget SHOWGIRLS' with a white hot spoon.' I'll have to be content with that.

What amazes me is no one mentioned the endless (and dull) wet T-shirt contest. It is seriously the longest wet T-shirt contest in cinema history. And the only one where the contestants were wearing industrial strength cotton-polyester shirts that defied all efforts to get them wet and translucent.

And didn't anyone catch the director's cameo as the dude on the payphone interrupted by our hero? With the line 'are we filming yet?" clearly audible? Jeez, this is bad movie heaven for REAL aficionados...

I really didn't want to give this film a rating at all 'cause I wasn't sure whether to give it a 1 for its total lack of anything resembling talent or a 10 for the enjoyment I got from watching just the first 20 minutes. So I went for the middle ground with a 5.

The total lack of continuity in the shot set ups alone had me giggling uncontrollably. The wooden acting is priceless. This movie makes PLAN NINE FROM OUTER SPACE look like fine art. And note to the make-up/FX crew: if the way to kill a zombie is to shoot it in the head, having a close-up of a 'live' zombie with a head-shot wound probably not the best idea.

That all being said, I will buy any movie or book this guy puts out there 'cause they are just so much bad fun. And bad or good, kudos for finishing a 120 minute movie with no budget.
