Why so much hype?
not as good as all the hype
There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
View MoreThe movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
View MoreThis movie started out promising enough but it started to become weird and messy soon after that.It's absurd how many things this movie tries to be. It doesn't really fit into one genre because of that and it makes you unsure how to take this movie. It starts out as a serious mystery movie, then it becomes suddenly a zombie kung-fu flick and a spoof of about every every well known classic or cult horror movie. I often say it is a good thing for these low budget type of movies to not take itself so seriously but in this particular I was actually still digging this movie when it was being serious. It was when it became silly and more comedy like that I started to get annoyed and disappointed with this movie.I can definitely see and understand what the film-makers were trying to do and achieve though. They tried to be like a Robert Rodriguez movie, that goes over-the-top with things and is a nod to some cult classics out of the horror genre. Kind of like from "From Dusk Till Dawn", only Jose Prendes clearly ain't no Robert Rodriguez and he isn't half as talented as he is. None of the ideas really work out in this movie because it goes into way too many different directions and only becomes an huge mess to watch because of that.So this movie is many things but yet it also isn't good with being any of these things. It isn't a good horror, it isn't a good zombie flick, it isn't a good comedy, it isn't a good gory/action blood-fest. No, I just can't imaging anybody liking this movie as anything. In this case you also really can't blame the low budget for that, since it was the directing and writing that made this simply one huge mess to watch.Guess it still has some mildly entertainment value to it because I just didn't hate this movie as much as I often hate modern low budget horror movies. But there is no reason for anyone to ever go and see this movie.3/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/
View MoreBest movie ever made in my opinion. First of all the intro was amazing, and i was caught by surprise when that priest confessed he was not actually a priest. And come on now how great was it that they couldn't afford to have the road shut down outside of the building they were filming in. I just loved the fact that there had been an apocalypse and all, but zombies need to drive to work too...if i turn into a zombie will my license be revoked, and would i have to take the driving test again. Anyway this was probably the best horror zombie flick ever made so I recommend it to everyone.guess i needed 10 lines to submit.
View MoreIf this movie could have focused, it could have been an entertaining little romp, filmed in Miami and Fort Lauderdale, with an excellent cast of grade-Z actors, including the homeless-man's Rutger Hauer, Richard Lynch, and the aging but still cute Linnea Quigley, among others.The biggest problem I saw in this movie was the lack of focus. Was it a James Bond parody, as you might expect from the title? No. THAT would have been cool -- what would a James Bond-style secret agent do in a world full of zombies? No, this is more Memento meets Night of the Living Dead meets American Werewolf in London ... with Linnea Quigley as some sort of undead Deus ex Machina.If you take into consideration the lack of budget (to the point that there are virtually no threatening zombies on screen and no threat of impending doom, until someone mentions it in dialogue), it's fun. If you try to judge it without those considerations, it's really really bad. So be kind! I'd rent the sequel, The Corpse Who Loved Me ... wouldn't you?
View MoreCorpses Are Forever (2003) is a waste of time. The film makers tried to make a cool movie but thinking somethings cool when it's not sucks, and so did this film. Instead of wasting money on B-Movie actors who know the product sucks, they should have spent in on production and writing a decent script. This movie is why Asylum is a joke of a company. They think they're Troma and they act like their product is all that and a bag of chips. You think that a company with the name Asylum would make edgy and horrific films that'll shock and terrorize you. Instead they scare you from watching any of their d.v.d.sWhen you're making a movie, don't try and bring up cooler movies just so you can get some cred amongst old school horror fans. It wont work. You'll seem like you're reaching for some thing (and anything). The concept of this movie was interesting. Anybody could have made it work. The problem lies with these people. They just don't know how to make a watchable movie. Throwing stuff at the wall and seeing if it sticks is no way either. I could have made a better movie movie with $10,000 and three digital cameras. Perhaps there's a market for this crap. I don't know who would watch this tripe but there must be. Just remember, have a decent script, motivated actors, a good director and lots of lighting. If you follows these rules you can make something that's watchable. If you try to make a movie that'll entertain yourself, you'll end up on the short end of the stick every time.Not recommended. This movie is so bad it'll crack the lens within your d.v.d. player.
