Sheborg Massacre

Never boring, that's for sure. Engaging characters and lots of laughs. Actually quite well made for the low budget level. Actors do a great job. If you like a gory horror sci fi comedy and appreciate skill at a low budget, you'll enjoy Sheborg. Good music too.

When I sat down to watch this 2016 movie titled "Sheborg Massacre", I must admit that I wasn't really harboring a shred of high hopes for the movie. Why? Well, the movie's title and cover just wasn't exactly screaming top notch movie. But with it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, much less actually heard about, of course I opted to give writer and director Daniel Armstrong the benefit of the doubt.

The storyline in the movie was pretty straightforward, for better or worse. While the storyline wasn't neither rocket science or Shakespearian theater, then writer Daniel Armstrong did manage to put together something that was cheesy enough to actually be entertaining.

Of course I wasn't familiar with a single actress or actor on the cast list. The acting performances in the movie were actually fair.

The fight scenes in the movie were hilarious to watch, especially since in many of the scenes you can see the punches thrown are not even remotely close to making contact with whomever was being punched. That got a good chuckle out of me.

This is a low budget movie, no doubt about it. But I will say that writer and director Daniel Armstrong actually managed to turn it into something oddly enjoyable. There is just something fundamentally cheesy about the entire movie that actually works in favor of the overall impression of the movie.

The special effects in the movie were exactly that - special. I loved the stuffed toy dogs that were supposed to be dead dogs, and the spaghetti in tomato sauce that was supposed to be their innards. Very low key effects and they got a good chuckle out of me. Points for trying, at least. Something that speaks well in favor of the movie is the sheer amount of blood and mayhem that there is throughout the course of the 87 minutes that the movie ran for.

It looked and felt like the people involved in making "Sheborg Massacre" had a blast making the movie.

While "Sheborg Massacre" doesn't have the contents to become a cult classic, it definitely is well-worth checking out if you enjoy low budget cheesy sci-fi action movies.

My rating of "Sheborg Massacre" lands on a five out of ten stars.

OK, I love this movie - gutsy heroines, hysterical baddies, more puppies than you can shake a stick at, lots of nerdy in jokes, as well as heaps of local colour (most of it red). Bucketloads of blood, gore and guts and an actual storyline that makes sense :)

I am waiting somewhat patiently for this to come out on DVD so I can see it for a 3rd time, and then get all my friends to watch it with me as well :)

It's been a while that i've been this hyped for a movie to be released, even pre-ordered the dvd - a folly i usually stay away from. all starts promising, with a psyched-out scene in a spaceship. there are whacky humanoid aliens with a captured hot cyborg (the sheborg from the title) who is about to get executed. well if she would have, the film had ended pretty quickly. she somehow gets to earth, and then there are an annoying heroine, some puppies and mediocre - and way too little! - gore and blood scenes.

it surely is better than the rollerderby flick, also made by armstrong, but it lacks in the aspects you came for: brutality, nudity and a spacy score. the soundtrack is 100% punkrock stuff and if you don't like or even tolerate this, you will have a hard time.

fun flick with some beer and friends, but i recommend a rental before a purchase.

This is so bad it makes House Bout Horror look like The African Queen. Yes, it's even worse that HBH.. Truely abysmal on every leverl. Even bad film buffs will find it difficult to sit thui this atrocity.

Miss Duff is the only one who can act in this. Haveing seen her on stage, she is better that the material she is working with.

Contains - No budjet, no acting (accept for Miss Duff), badly directged, woeful scrift, po0rly staged fights - you can clearly see they miss & don't get me started on the vomit moment. They vomit on their captives to kill them.

If this is meant to be a send up - forget it. It fails on every level.

If you could invent a rating lower that BOMB - this abysmal attrocity would get it.

Don't even thinbk of seeing this. It's not worth it.
