Absolutely trashy
janieknight-177319 October 2018
I didn't even finish watching this, it was just so bad. Not sure about a b class movie, more like a z class. Terrible over the top acting. Nothing flows from scene to scene. The story line is all over the place. I think a bunch of college students could make better using an iPhone. Seriously don't think it gets much worse than this

So bad it's bad
michaelianpowell17 February 2023
I'm not sure how I managed to watch amost an hour of this offering that seems have been shot on someone's phone while they kep their finger over the microphone. Jumps all over the place in a way thatsuggests whoever was in charge of continuity wasn't allowed to see the script - even supposing there was one.

I have absolutely no idea what the story line is supposed ot be so no way that I could give any spoilers. It did seem to keep a lot of people of the streets for a while so I guess it did serve some purpose ...

Do yourself a favour and download a video of a log fire or waves crashing on a beach - it'll be much better acted and make a lot more sense.

Epically awesome bad movie
wingedwolfpsion30 July 2014
A rare treat - a truly epic bad B-movie. It has it all - over the top musical score, hysterical acting, fan-film quality scripting and special effects, meander plot with inexplicable side-stories, and an outcome so pre-ordained you not be surprised by the ending. Best of all, it takes itself completely seriously. Highlights: vampiric demons. Random pimps and prostitutes in a side-story that has nothing to do with anything at all. GODPUNCH. Warp tunnels. And an angel wielding a lightsaber. You will be continually surprised. 9 instead of 10 because the slow parts go on just slightly too long to be fun in a couple of places.

A Diamond in the rough

Upon viewing this movie for the first time, one might be led to believe that it's a terrible low budget film. However, after having seen this movie about 15 times, I can honestly say that it's steeped in fantastic themes, iconic symbolism, and unique camera angles and methods of directing. It's truly the Van Gogh of independent films. One day people will truly appreciate this work, hopefully before lives are taken. I still remember the first time I saw this film. My wife and I were with some friends, and thought "Hey, let's dampen the mood with a hack film". We thought we struck gold upon finding this gem of an apocalypse featuring Ricky Ricardo. Thought it would tickle us. We were wrong. Dead wrong. The movie comes flying out with a flurry of plot development and dramatic scenes, a true whirlwind of wonder. If you're not careful it will burn your taste buds. The movie proceeds to wow us with a raw, realistic cast and sets, as well as sensational sound tracks. The fascinating, face melting side plots are truly the heavy weights if this film. The sultry vampires and Sopranos like ruffians had me crossing my legs with stimulation. And when those side plots ran out on us like baby daddies... it was like wham bam thank you ma'am. I was left dazed, yearning, and wet. I had to excuse myself for eruptions of diarrhea about 3 times. The costume design and special effects of the demons and Zombies and angels and Jersey Shore were terrifying and brutal. I would recommend wearing a mixing bowl duct taped to your ass for your maiden viewing. And of course the ending was superb. Tear jerking, if you will. If I had to rate the ending on a scale from 0 to Nicholas Cage, it would be a National Treasure. Needless to say, we all became better friends that night. And respectively, better lovers. We had passionate intercourse that night. I have the becoming to thank for that. Please, if you want to be astonished to the point of tingling genitalia, do yourself a favor, the becoming.
