Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Woodyanders Played absurdly straight by the extremely variable cast and hopelessly inept director alike, awash with ample tacky CGI effects, along with shoddy puppet vultures, laughably dreadful dialogue, copious amounts of gooey'n'graphic gore (eyes gouged out, juicy decapitations, lots of messy biting and icky flesh eating, that sort of gruesome stuff), witty references to other (much better) movies like "Star Wars" and "Phantasm," a refreshingly audacious take-no-prisoners attitude (two cutesy little kids get killed), a rare chance to see ubiquitous adorable soft-core starlet Misty Mundae keep her clothes on and act her socks off as the feisty Kat, a thrashin' hard rock soundtrack, a hilarious comic relief cross-dressing midget mutant ("Kiss the monkey!"), a neat cameo by Reggie Bannister as the amiable Uncle Ben, slick cinematography (the funky killer mutant vulture POV shots are especially cool), a hulking blind zombie brute named Gor (how original - not!), and a marvelously zesty performance by Andrew Divoff as the crazed and obsessive Russian scientist responsible for the whole ghastly mess (think "28 Days Later" crossed with "The Birds" and you'll get the general idea what this delectable chunk of prime celluloid Velveeta cheese is all about), this often uproariously atrocious abomination isn't by any stretch of the imagination remotely good, but it nonetheless rates highly as an immensely fun and frequently sidesplitting piece of gloriously silly dimestore rubbish just the same.
trashgang Last weekend I was at the weekend of horror convention in Germany were I saw again a copy of The Rage, signed. So it was time to watch this flick with Wishmaster Andrew Divoff. It starts of pretty well, with a lot of gore and creepy moments. For me it was the best part, when the guy disappears with the rage in his veins the movie becomes something else, it becomes one of those campy movies with the use of CGI and stop/motion. A bit too much, especially the birds, it's a bit too long of them. One time a big laugh appeared on my face, when Uncle Ben goes fishing with his children one of the kids get bored with fishing and says, i would like to go play with my Xbox, would like to play my new game, the funny part is when uncle Ben says, what about the game I bought for you, phantasm and guess what, uncle Ben is Reggie Bannister. I thought that Andrew gives a great performance but the flick isn't scary at all, that's because the killers are the birds. I also saw here that a lot of people found that the girls never were sexy, that's a fact, they always are dressed never in their nudies or underwear. Not that that is necessary but in a campy one it should have contain some more nudity. Even when Erin Brown is in it, she never get's undressed. Why her you ask, she is also known as Misty Mundae, do I need to say more...So to conclude, the movie delivers a lot of gore and blood but never is scary at all, but it never has a dull moment., It's one to watch with your friends and have a good time.
kosmasp I really love the first Wishmaster movie. I even think that the second one is really good too. Both are with Andrew Divoff, who I had the pleasure of meeting personally at a convention. But more about that on a forthcoming Wishmaster review. Andrew Divoff plays a Russian scientist, that's all I'm going to say (which doesn't spoil anything), but never fully develops any of his previous screen charisma (apparent especially in the Wishmaster movies, but also in smaller roles (see Brisco County Jr. and others).Robert Kurtzman, who also directed the first Wishmaster movie, and was part of the famous KNB-FX Group (K being his initial of course), alone was a guarantee that the movie would be good ... well at least that's what I thought ... boy was I wrong! Relying on CGI rather than on "hands-on" Special FX, which Kurtzman could've done himself (and pretty good) was one of the baddest decision he could make ... saying it looks fake, would be a disgrace to the word "fake".The acting? Apart from the aforementioned Divoff, there's only Reggie Bannister who could work as a saving Grace. But the Phantasm star, doesn't have a chance to do so ... But then again, it's not the most original script they're working with, so I don't know, if you really can blame any of the actors (well maybe some of them at least). Of course, a movie like this does not rely on acting and or a fancy story. But as the CGI doesn't work, but against the movie, the sparse real effects, cannot elevate this experience into any level, that makes it really feel like entertainment. It's bloody alright, but you can and should expect more than that! Not to mention that the soundtrack (sounds) can and do get pretty annoying! Problem if you watch it at a theater? You can't turn the volume down, neither fast forward! But just because you can at home, doesn't mean you should try it ... I strongly recommend against that! Of course there are movies, worse than that (quite a few actually), but this also isn't an argument and/or point that works for the movie! I really hate to say it, but stray away from this movie (I didn't even get into the video quality and other stuff)
whammy666 I loved Wishmaster, so when I heard Andrew Divoff and Roboert Kurtzman were once again teaming up for another gore infested film, I was excited. Though not as good as Wishmaster, this movie is one heck of a fun ride. Has some really nice gore, and really awesome from beginning to end. There is rarely a dull moment, though there is one kind of lame scene, but overall, it is totally entertaining. The gore is great, although in the end some really crappy Computer Generated gore is used. A shame, Kurtzman does really good effects for other films, but at the end of the movie it almost looked like he got lazy. Also, the zombie birds are CG for the most part, they really don't look all that bad. Actually, they are pretty awesome. The acting is bad at times, which to me just adds more charm to the films. Misty Mundae is in this (!) and doesn't show her boobs (!). Her acting isn't too bad, actually. I guess she is trying to get out of softcore porn. And Divoff is great as a mad scientist. Add some midgets that have classic lines like "I am going to rip your face off and wear it!" and you have an extremely entertaining horror film. Much better than a lot of the horror films that come into theaters.
