Forever Dead (2007)
If people think this is horrible...
...in a certain respect they're right. When Compared to higher budget horror, and more specifically zombie, flicks it's crap. Complete trash. But when you realize it's made completely on the cheap, with a group of friends, locals, and nearby extras and industry people it's just about as good as anyone could do. It's cheesy, over the top, sub-par edited, and the sound effects are definitely old school. But I loved it. It's a great truly indie horror. Fun and gory. I think the only complaint I really had about the movie was the long haired redneck that kept staring at the camera. Other than that small issue I got what I expected. Stop being so hard on people who do what they can with what they've got, and start being harder on this high budget cow pile industry that keeps force feeding you multi million dollar "independent" flicks and series movies that don't even stay true to the source material.
Masters of Horror: Homecoming (2005)
Masters of Politics are on CNN
I enjoy zombies. I love Romero's social commentary tied in with an actual movie. But this was over the edge for a series mainly about horror. There were no scare worthy moments in this, nor was it creepy, or mind bending in a sick and/or twisted kind of way. A story this heavily politically influenced should have been saved for someone who enjoys abusing the media to get a point across (Michael Moore much?). The effects were decent, and the acting was good. But as a whole I felt it was poorly and ineffectively done. A political message was lost in sub par story telling and the lack of anything to keep a person interested for the whole hour they got. If it was given two hours it might have a chance to be something more than rhetoric, but in the end it was a waste.
