Starring: A. Michael Baldwin, Reggie Bannister, Angus Scrimm
Directed by: Don CoscarelliThe Positives:
- The impromptu concert performed at the beginning of the film by the young Michael Hasselhoff look-a-like and the young David Koechner look-a-like was actually pretty good.
- There is a character credited as The Mega Dwarf.
- I'm diggin' the synth score.
- That little black bug demon was incredibly creepy.
- Every death via the flying spheres o' doom was creative and, for a lack of a better word, awesome.
- The dwarves reminded me of killer Jawas. I don't know If that's a good or bad thing.
The Negatives:
- The film is apparently well-respected in the indie-horror community. However, I feel that it's amateur production is more distracting than respectable.
- This is highlighted by the sloppy editing, which is present throughout the film but noticeably the death scenes.
- I really thought the little brother was a girl until somebody called him "Michael".
- Corpses shouldn't breathe, especially at their own funeral.
- I feel like the entire cast took acting lessons from Paris Hilton. "Say all your lines monotone unless you're scared, then you say your lines loud."
- The story, and the way it is presented, felt rather disjointed. Introducing psychic grandmothers and shrinking zombies didn't help.
- Having sex in a graveyard is never a good idea. Having sex in the same graveyard where your best friend was murdered having sex is even worse.
Grade: D+

Grade: D+
While the film reeks of amateurism, the latter death scenes were creative enough to possibly merit a repeat viewing. I won't be adding this to my DVD collection anytime soon though.
