Hairmetal Shotgun Zombie Massacre: The Movie

I remember seeing previews for this movie over a year ago and being excited to see it. I was not disappointed! The special effects for the zombies were very unique and well-executed. These are not your generic horror movie zombies. This is one of those movies that you and your friends will trade one-liners from for years to come. The no-holds- barred dialogue in the movie takes shots towards the metal scene, the horror scene and the director himself. It perfectly captures the whole "doofy young kids trapped in a cabin in the woods" feel that really makes for a good old school horror experience. Some moments are intense, some moments are ridiculous, some are laugh out loud hilarious. This is definitely a movie you'll want to watch over and over again to catch all of the subtleties. Excellent job.

Caught the first screening of the film at the Housecore Horror Film Festival back in November and the film did not disappoint. The film is about a band trying to get signed to a record label and doing everything they can to make sure they do. Which includes starting a zombie apocalypse. Good mix of horror, comedy and gore very much along the lines of Evil Dead. Tons of great one liners and awesome soundtrack by Marzi Montazeri and RipperOwens. Gotta keep your eyes peeled for the cameos in the film too. One in particular that elicited cheering from everyone in attendance. Overall very fun movie with plenty of blood, guts, guns and rock n' roll for everyone.

I got to see this last night. Don't let the B-movie title fool you, this is actually really well done. The band members are freaking hilarious. Even though it is a fictional group, they come off feeling very real lol. And who does not like Zombies or Tom Araya? If you enjoyed the early Peter Jackson films, or Evil Dead...or even Spinal Tap than you should really give this film a go.

What starts out as the story of a band trying to get a killer recording done and score a deal with a label, quickly turns insane as events around them call forth Zombies.

While it is not Gone With the Wind, it is without a doubt worthy of your time.

Also, the score by Marzi and Ripper Owens kicks ass.

Can't forget Army of Darkness, otherwise this would be the greatest zombie movie ever made. Even then, it is right up there with Army of Darkness. The acting is great, the chemistry of the fictional band makes it seem like they've been a real band working together for years. Bob Bastard (Parrish Randall) is by far my favorite.

The special effects are over the top and just beyond awesome. Kristi Boul and Gilbert Cortez have really outdone themselves (and most other people) here. All the blood and guts you can imagine, kick ass zombie makeup, and some other facial prosthetics that completely blew my mind.

This movie is one of those films you want to go see in a theater after getting highly intoxicated with some friends, and just yell at the movie while you're watching it in between shots of whiskey. The energy level throughout this film is extremely high, from start to finish. It's the kind of movie that really gets your adrenaline going, partially because of the kick ass film that it is, and the kick ass acting and effects, but we also can't forget the kick ass music by Marzi Montazerri and Ripper Owens.

From start to finish, this movie is an A+. The only downside is that after 90 minutes, I just felt like it wasn't enough. And I don't mean that in a bad way. I mean this film is just that good.

If you have a chance to see this movie, don't rob yourself and miss out on this experience. I can promise you this, you've never seen anything like it.

This movie's only saving grace is the soundtrack accompanying it. The immersion is completely ruined by amateur actors and god awful sound design. Someone will talk sounding extremely muffled, and the scene will then pan to someone talking as if they're right in your ear. And to top it all off, the ending is incredibly rushed and abrupt, and leaves the viewer with more questions and no answers. The movie is admittedly funny when laughing at how absurd it is, but even the movie's "comedy" feels like it came out of a dollar store. I can see the appeal of the film for hardcore metal fans, but for the average person, this movie is nothing short of a cringeworthy dumpster fire. Do NOT watch this movie unless you want to waste your time...
