Sheborg Massacre

I felt like I had to drop a review here just to counter the review that described this movie as "misandrist." I guess some fragile male got his fee fees hurt watching this fun low-budget comic book of a film. Clearly the people making it had a lot of fun. It's crazy enough to where you will overlook the production's budgetary shortcomings. At first I had the impression that the filmmakers had never met a real punk or a real nerd in their lives and tried to approximate them onscreen, but then I convinced myself that this was intentional and part of the charm and maybe some kind of Aussie humor that I don't quite get. Reminded me a bit of the hilarious Lieutenant Jangles. Anyway, fun movie. Worth a rent.

SheBorg is scheduled for execution, but escapes. Justifiably grumpy, the alien cyborg zips off to Earth to spread death and chaos. Only two vandalism-prone anarchist brats can stop the extraterrestrial killing machine before it assimilates all of humanity.

You don't see such a godawful cyborg every day. The poor actress has a rubber piece and a couple of tubes strapped to her head and looks like the streetwalker version of Locutus of Borg.

This no-budget production from Australia doesn't skimp on green slime-vomit, but does on everything else. The enthusiastic amateur cast mostly just stumbles around in the woods. The lab of an evil corporation that breeds puppies turns out to be, for example, just a tent.

Conclusion: An entertaining fun-splatter for people who enjoy laughing helplessly, as long as you have very low standards for how you spend your free time.

The 'sheborg' costume is great as is the sound track.

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.

** no spoilers **

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 :)
