Deadly Stingers (2003)
stinkers or stingers?
I saw this bad boy at Flashback Weekend in Chicago area. It looked like it had a good budget so it looked nice but it was an awful film. The acting was horrible and the direction seemed off at times but on at others. But the budget seemed to be big. The effects weren't that great either which is big in this type of film. I wouldn't give it another minute of my time so if the end of the world comes and this is the only movie left to watch then I'm killing myself.
Zombiegeddon (2003)
jesus and nudity? How can you go wrong!
I caught this bad boy at a showing in a Tulsa Oklahoma theater. The title made me think I was getting in for a cheesefest. Conrad Brooks is in it too so it has to be REALLY bad doesn't it? Well, no. See what makes this flick stand out is that it's far different from anything else I've seen. It's not Romero that's for sure. Think Romero with a little Lloyd Kaufman with a little Larry Cohen. I sat through the entire film and was not bored. That does not happen very often. At one point things in the film are happening so fast it felt chaotic and that's exactly what I'd imagine the filmmakers wanted you to feel. They wanted you to actually get in the movie. Now I don't want to sound like I'm totally praising the film because it's not THAT good but it's not bad either. It's one of those low budget shot on video horror films so how can you go in expecting much? Then we've got the title and the fact Conrad Brooks and Joe Estevez are in it. How can you expect much? What you can expect is a good time. I think anyone who actually knows this convention like list of horror stars will have an absolute blast. If you're looking for A grade acting with an incredible beautiful story go rent Hamlet. If you're looking for a nasty good time rent Zombiegeddon.
The Monster Man (2001)
Is this a home video?
This movie looked so much like a home video I wanted to cry. How it's getting good reviews I don't know. It looked terrible, the acting was terrible, the effects were terrible...It was just awful. Reasons why? Well, let's start with the fact it had to have been shot on digital with no budget. Then it's filled with amateurs and some of the worst b movie actors around. It's just THAT bad.
Sweet Revenge (2001)
What happened to our careers?
First off, this movie stars two television veterans and a Red Shoe Diaries has been. The three of them fumble their way through a script that should have only been a short until the predictable conclusion finally happens. It's not a bad movie but it's also not a good movie. The acting is so-so while the picture actually looks pretty good for something low budget like this.
