Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Michael O'Keefe Straight to video. Why not straight to the trash bin? Jose Prendes directs, writes and plays two roles in this over-acted horror film. To be exact this movie is NOT even scary. Is there a crime concerning imitation of a movie? The Gates of Hell have squeaked open and it is up to a secret agent(Prendes) and a motley crew of military-types to close the open boundary and end the sure invasion of zombies. The agent is suffering amnesia and has chemically induced flashbacks of searching for his kidnapped son. Hard to tell which is the plot and sub-plot since this film makes no sense at all. As for the suggested zombies...they are small in number and so weak they fall down from the wind made by the missed leg kicks and karate chops of the super spy. Another case of believing the packaging describes the video inside. Other cast members are: Richard Lynch, Debbie Rochon, Brinke Stevens and Felissa Rose.

chappell666 I enjoyed this movie. No its not a great movie, but i felt it was well done camp. You cant take the movie itself seriously, but the movie plays off this, it isn't meant to be serious, scary or believable. This movie doesn't have pretensions, and i found it much more entertaining than say, club dread... (which was given a theatrical release.) i thought it was enjoyable, and very wisely had a runtime of 120 mins. And the devil looks very much like marlon brando, I'm surprised no one else has commented on this. I felt the storyline was very original, a nice change of pace from all the "teenagers visiting woods/secluded rural community" genre films (cabin fever excepted). If you want a little over an hour of mindless entertainment, and are willing to exercise suspension of disbelief, maybe check it out..... Or at least if you are contemplating renting club dread check this out instead..

jbarker71 I'm always one to give a zombie movie a chance. This was more of a thriller that had zombies in it. Some zombies. The movie tried to impress upon you that the world had been overrun by zombies (why?), but there was never any tangible sense of fear or terror. This was a total vanity project.As a newly minted Debbie Rochon fan, I had wanted to see her performance. The homicidal character she portrayed didn't serve much, if any, purpose. It was as though she was there to prop up the main character as a hottie girlfriend, but that was stretching the truth too far. The lead, in the B/W sequences, looked like a high schooler in a home movie. And it seemed like in every scene he was checking his clip for bullets. And the kungfu scenes... woah boy. And dude, keep your shirt on, that Bacardi bat tattoo was too skimpy looking (not bad ass, but ass-bad).I did like Richard Lynch's over-the-top acting. And, there is something nice about seeing Brinke Stevens and Linnea in another horror film. In fact, I would have enjoyed more seeing Brinke, Linnea, Debbie, and Richard talking about horror films. That would have been interesting. However, this film is truly marred by the deus-ex-machina at the end with Linnea showing up saying "You owe me one (two... three...). In any sequel she would probably show up whenever the heroes were in trouble and bail them out. How unimaginative! Speaking of deus-ex-machina, let's have a serum that induces a flashback and amnesia that has little to do with the story! And let's have a bright white room with no segue to the other scenes. Why, WHY, does one actor bring up John Carpenter's "They Live"? All of a sudden I was thinking about that film, and how much better it was than Corpses. It took all I had not to turn off the movie then and there. I'm a big fan of indie cinema and horror films, but this film simply falls short in so many ways. Total vanity project- it's as if the writer/director shelled out bucks for some talent and couldn't deliver on the script. The positives? Rochon, Quigley, Lynch, some of the lighting, and the car. The zombies sucked. But I'm sure the cast and crew had a fun old making it.

viggler This movie had potential to be so much more, but I believe its ultimate downfall was weaving too many story lines and plot twists into one movie. I loved the idea of the CIA operative Malcolm Grant/Quint taking the experimental truth serum, but the idea is constantly given a backseat to the zombie storyline, which succumbs to the government conspiracy storyline, which later takes a backseat to the devil storyline. Oh yeah, every time the CIA guy takes the serum, he suffers from amnesia. Once the Devil has been defeated the story then reverts back to a generic "destroy all zombies" storyline. I would like to see Prendes do this movie again without the zombies/government conspiracy/devil plot lines and make a psychological thriller about a CIA operative taking part in the experimental truth serum program to catch the bad guy.
