ZMD: Zombies of Mass Destruction (2009) - Kevin Hamedani


Zombie movies must be the easiest things to make, they are being pumped out nowadays much like vampire movies post-Twilight, and I am starting to get a little tired of them. I wish the people making these zombie flicks would take some time and pride in their craft, unfortunately they don't. This zombie movie is full of gay jokes and redneck humor; its comedy/horror that pokes fun at politics with useless discussions about how democrats are pussies or how America is Islamaphobic. This movie is a terrible excuse for a zombie film and I wish I hadn't seen it. 

The movie is about a zombie outbreak that occurs on the small island of Port Gamble. According to a news broadcast the outbreak was caused by a terrorist attack. Now the island has three Muslim people that live on it: our sort of main character Frida (Janette Armand), her father and some other guy mentioned in passing. Throughout a big chunk of this movie Frida is tortured by a deranged racist redneck for "obviously being a terrorist". The other main characters are Tom and Lance, a gay couple that have come to the island to "Come Out" to Tom's mother. All of these characters fend off the undead for the entire movie. 

The movie has plenty of blood and guts, it is really bloody, and the effects are pretty good. The usual effect is just blood spraying from zombies biting the necks of their victims, however there is a pretty cool scene where a guy gets his face ripped off. The acting leaves a lot to be desired and I found myself actually getting pissed off when Frida's father came onscreen; his acting bothered me to no end. I am going to have to give this movie a 2 of 10. The effects are cool but the movie is horrible.

Ju-On (2000) - Takashi Shimizu

Watching Japanese horror is similar to watching British comedy. If you enjoy dry whit then you probably enjoy the boys of Monty Python in drag. That's the joke, they're dressed like women. Get it? Well, that's British humor. But if you're like most Americans you probably prefer Adam Sandler farting his way across a football field and hooking up with chicks that are way out of his league. Americans usually prefer this more in your face, crass brand of humor. My point is funny in England is different from funny in the US. The same goes for J-Horror. What the Japanese consider scary is very different from what Americans consider scary and it shows in this horror film. Japanese horror is generally slow (a little too slow sometimes), suspenseful and creepy. Ju-On is a creepy effing film. The movie has almost no soundtrack. It is incredibly suspenseful and the pay-offs are pretty awesome, but I think that it was done better in the American version (cultural t...

Humanoids From the Deep (1980) - Barbara Peeters and Jimmy T. Murakami

This is your standard old drive-in Creature Feature that has tons of gore and boobs. It's great if your in for a cheap thrill. This film goes right up along side any Roger Corman produced picture from the eighties. It's rumored that Joe Dante was approached to direct this movie but he turned it down. Humanoids from the Deep, also known as Monster, is a strange but forgettable piece of exploitation that failed to make it's notch in history. Don't let that detour you though. This is a really fun little film that doesn't fail to be entertaining.  A small sea town in California is terrorized by some mutated creatures from the deep. They look like some sort of mutated fish, merman-thing. They seem to have one goal in mind and that is raping and impregnating the females of the town. Also the town is being taken for a ride by a shifty businessman and his new corporate cannery. Could this evil cannery corporation be responsible for the Extreme Creatures of the B...

Escape From Tomorrow (2013) - Randy Moore

This review may contain spoilers. An American independent horror movie from filmmaker Randy Moore. It stars Roy Abramsohn, Elena Schuber, Katelynn Rodriguez, Jack Dalton, Annet Mahendru, and Alison Lees-Taylor. It premiered at the official selection of Roger Ebert, at the Sundance Film Festival on January 18th, 2013. Synopsis Jim is a depressed middle-aged man that despises his family life but wants to try to hold it together for a vacation to the Walt Disney World Resort. Jim receives a call before they leave and, unfortunately, Jim has lost his job as well. It proves too much to handle as this trip to the Magic Kingdom becomes a hellish nightmare. Jim’s mind cracks as we watch him deal with Disney’s seedy underbelly. Complete with elaborate corporate conspiracy, undercover sex workers, and demons. Oh and two very young French girls that Jim lusts over. It’s gross. Analysis The acting is amateurish. It’s nothing that’s going to win any awards or anything. The wri...
