    Go Zombie Go

    Good to see this finally made it to IMDB. Marcus Koch's (local Tampa Bay/St.Pete area gore director) not-so-big claim to fame. Contains the greatest FBI/Zombie punk foot chase scene across Clearwater. Billly can really run. We could all live without Joel's monologues. This film is about as hokey and B as it gets. But if you love dirty punks, rotting flesh, cheesy effects and spilling guts then take a peek.

    Wild

    Pretty dang entertaining gore flick. It is pretty wild and to me it was never boring. Some good FX on the cheap. Now the director is doing FX on Nikos The Imapler and some other flicks. It's a little grainy but fans of low-budget gore or punk flicks should definatly check it out.

    Evokes the best and worst of the shot-on-video scene

    After screwing a corpse in a morgue, a woman inadvertently transmits a disease to her punk boyfriend and find that they're slowly rotting from the inside out due to the virus, forcing them to embark on a wild campaign of chaos to try to combat the effects of the contagion before they succumb to its effects.

    This was a pretty enjoyable low-budget effort. One of the biggest features here is the wild and bizarre storyline that allows the film to careen from one grotesque sequence to another. After getting an idea of what their relationship is about, the initial montage showing them running wild in the community as lawless punks before turning over to the effects of the virus is a rather fun time here. Generating enough of a setup with the means of how they contracted the virus and passing it along to everyone they come across, this one becomes quite fun with seeing the sequences enabled here with the way this plays out. However, the main feature on display here is the grotesque and disturbing gore effects featured here which are genuinely gruesome and graphic. The means of showing them physically rotting from the inside out means the film gets away with some fun meltdowns of people in full view where their skin completely disappears until it's just a chunky skeleton. The gradual descent into the effects of the virus creates some more gruesome images with their bleeding wounds and oozing faces before getting to the classic shot of a disembodied head being attached with duct tape. The creativity and impressive nature of these effects are the best aspects here, giving this the most enjoyable aspects to hold it up overall. There are some issues on display here. The main issue is the generally confusing manner in which the virus supposedly affects the two. Initially appearing as though the two are barely able to walk the amount of pain they're in while vomiting all over each other, that not even two minutes later they're completely fine and able to beat down a man twice their size or outwit a government agent on foot with no ill effects of the virus is quite confusing. This doesn't seem to be any consistency in how the virus operates which becomes highly distracting and obvious the way this plays out the later the film goes on. The other real problem with the film is the generally obvious lack of funds on display that some might see as a detriment. The wild, raucous storyline that takes place in the community feels completely guerilla-like in concept and execution where the majority of these scenes feel like just being out in the community stealing shots. With a somewhat improvised atmosphere and generally amateurish presentation with its technical aspects, there's a charm on display that can make this endearing to some and utterly unappealing to others which is an entirely personal preference. Still, that it's still present is enough to be worth mentioning.

    Rated Unrated/R: Extreme Graphic Violence and Extreme Graphic Language.

    Over the top!

    Pretty wild movie, especially from a teenaged director. Joel Wynkoop steals the show as he always does. He has this great monologue next to a bloodied toilet. I found myself laughing when he giggles and then shoots some dude in the head. Had a Peter Jackson feel at times.

    Check out the car and foot chases and the insane effects. Marcus Koch is now an established effects artist. Hope he gets to direct more. I enjoyed all the extras on the DVD, including the two commentary tracks.

    This was filmed in Florida. Interesting to see all the locations and shots they managed to get away with. Can't believe this movie was made almost 20 years ago.

    more junk from the video underground

    Well what to say? Where do I begin? How do I describe another of the worst backyard home horror video's I've managed to waste time watching.

    I hated this movie and thought it was so amateur that I can't imagine anybody not involved directly with the movie finding anything remotely enjoyable about it. The lead actor scientist guy has got to be the worst actor in the world! Talk about annoying over the top acting!!! Who thought having this guy act like this was a good idea? His girlie high pitched voice was so annoying!

    There is nothing good about this cheap looking, annoying, ugly backyard home video. I can't believe the director actually thought this thing was worth releasing.

    0/10 AVOID and don't be fooled by the over hyping this thing is getting on those biased independent movie websites!
