Cheezy, dumb ripoff of the then-popularity of Romero’s ‘Dawn’.
Quick intro scene lifted right from the middle of ‘Dawn’. Why? SELL SELL SELL! (Ironic, no?)
If you like gore you might (mildly) enjoy cackling and/or laughing at this, depending on your tastes and your tolerance for cheeze and bad FX.
I need decent acting, a decent script, believable characters…SOMETHING else besides gore to make a zombie flick watchable. Unless it’s UTTERLY horrid…and this doesn’t QUITE achieve that.
With the cheeziness and background music, it’s sort of like watching a 70’s porn flick, without the porn. It’s even got a guy that was in one of the ‘Emanuelle’ movies. Not to be confused with the ‘Emmanuelle’ movies.
The “exciting” scenes often have a Michael-Palin-from-MPFC’s-‘jungle explorers find a nice place to eat and then bad stuff happens’ sketch, near the end – before it’s deemed not suitable for family viewing.
“Do you know much, about voodoo? It’s a fascinating practice…” Yeah well you wouldn’t know it from this, Loki.
Upped a notch so I don’t have to worry about which title to put on my F list. And because it reminds me of ‘Dawn’. And 70’s porn.
