The Worst Film Ever
one of my absolute favorites!
True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
View MoreI didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
View MoreFirst and foremost I can't give this a 1 star because I do think it's better than that. Secondly, I refuse to give movies like this a 10 for being "so bad it's good". It's a cop out and a cheat to people who actually appreciate good storytelling. Also, this will be a long one simply because there's so much I could talk about. Anyways... A piece of a comet streaks through earths atmosphere and burns up. It's contents are aliens.... or at least alien single cell bacteria, that when encountered by humans through this dust, turns them into zombies. Now, I don't like to nit pick but as a fan of the genre it's hard not to. How can one be entertained if the premise doesn't make sense, right? Well, my first knee jerk reaction is to go along with this and just see where it takes the story. However later we find out the aliens can't survive in earths atmosphere... So my question is, why didn't the bacteria die out almost immediately? But whatever, sometimes you have to go with it. So the points I thought were decent or good were lighting and... that might be it. The movie pretty much takes place entirely in 3 or 4 rooms and then outside... This leads to some very boring and repetitive backdrops. Characters are bland and honestly don't offer much for the actors to go off of. Doesn't appear the director helped with that much. Simply put, the characters are all very cliché and one dimensional. I don't know almost anything about anyone as they have such limited backstories. one was in the military... and done. one came from a line of doctors (isn't one himself)... done One was a porn star...done. one worked in a church...done. one owns a ranch...done. one lives in Florida...done. then there's other people... I guess. I feel like many of the problems with the acting is not so much with the actors but the script itself. Dialogue is poor as characters will randomly talk about anything else but the situation at hand. Pacing is poor with little dabbles of action seemingly added because the characters had nothing else to do. For example... towards the end our lead male will be worried about his girlfriend being infested... then he will have a nice drink with his buddy trent and laugh and laugh... then he goes back to being worried. things like this draw you out of the story. What's sad is the one enduring element this film has is the sequence where the main character inexplicably pokes a zombie in the groin with a stick until it's penis falls off... then... pockets it for a little while... then shows it to everyone. Then everyone prods the zombies privates again to discover the beings living inside the zombies. There are so many less intrusive ways this could have been done it's baffling. This of course leads to many other "scary" and "intense" scenes where the woman characters vaginas attack people. Metaphor? Euphemism? Social commentary? .... Who knows... who cares. It's more than likely the easiest way to get a gross factor and a sexual factor all in one. Although I shutter to think who that might appeal to. Once more... why does it take so long for these women who are infected to turn when everyone else turned so quick? oh yeah.. because it's convenient for the story. Editing in the film is atrocious. Fades splitting scenes randomly and even within the same scene makes even a simple act such as a character walks from one side of the room to another a chore. Or when a character is told to go patrol the compound... instead of assuming the person left, we have to see them walking around picking up sticks. Music in the film is typical cheep nothing. Except for one aspect which drove me crazy. Randomly through the film this distant digital beeping can be heard. At first I thought i had an alarm on in another room or my cell phone was doing something... only after muting the film could i determine that it's the soundtrack. I don't like having to diagnose sound errors in a film but honestly... you may find yourself doing that if you were as bored as I was. As for the resolution of the film... everyone dies except for the main characters and the military woman who drives away... never to be seen or heard from again. Why? because a writer didn't know how to bring her back I guess. Our last looks at these people are them drinking and shooting zombies at the fenceline... oh yeah, that's important to note that the aliens hate liquor and that's why the people were not infected to begin with. And that's where it ends... a drunk couple shooting zombies and having a blast (as everyone they've encountered has died). Maybe that was the point of the movie after all... to have a few drinks... sit down with the people you like to watch this kind of stuff and just mock it. On that basis, this movie is alright... i'd watch it again if just for riffing fun. As for true entertainment... this is a pretty soft attempt at best.
View MoreIf you had high expectations for this movie, then I don't know how you got them, but that's too bad, because this is a BAD movie. I would have given it 2 stars, but this movie is so laughable that it's good. Obviously, it wasn't made to be funny; it was made to scare you. Well, they messed that up. Just watch the movie with a smile and be ready to make fun of all the dumb stuff. There's a lot of gross stuff, so if you're sensitive to gore and blood, then you probably shouldn't be watching a horror film anyways. The two biggest problems are the actors (the survivors) and the zombies. Well, that's everyone in the movie, so... yeah, everyone is bad in this movie. The dialogue seems like the screenwriter just handed the actors their lines and said, "Say this with emphasis." The characters never change personality. For example, Chad, the big tough guy with a shotgun is actually a wimp; but as soon you figure out that he's a wimp, he never stops being one. Additionally, there's one girl who can't stop talking about sex related things, and this weirdo who CONTINUALLY quotes things from the bible. They never change. There is no emotion for the characters; they're all just annoying and irritating. The zombies, oh, they're just dumb. This movie must have had such a low budget that sometimes, you can't distinguish a survivor from a zombie. The zombies have barely any zombie-ish characteristics, other than a blood splotch or something. During the zombie encounter scenes, the survivors get a bunch of blood on them, so then THEY look like zombies. The acting is dumb. I'm pretty sure I saw a jump cut or two when someone kills a zombie. I love this part after bible-boy opens the fence/gate, then the other guys have to fight the zombies. So this guy grabs a shovel to attack them, and what does he do with it? He just whacks them. The best way to describe it as if you were hitting a baseball starting from a bunt position. Well, I'll just let you find out the rest; I found this on Comcast On Demand, but it'll probably be off soon.
View More...is that no one in a Zombie movie has ever seen a Zombie movie before. They all amazingly make the same mistakes, trapping themselves into a place that makes it easy for the Zombies to get at them.This one is kind of different, in that they are space zombies fed by a germ that rode in a comet. The Zombies are actually incubators for aliens who are going to hatch out of people.So we have a group of survivors, including a washed up Porn Star, a washed up action hero, a gay dude, a bible thumper, and a couple of strip club patrons. They hole up in an abandoned microwave bunker, while hoards of Zombies sporadically mob the fence. (I say sporadically, because on some occasions, they are there, and others, they aren't.) Naturally, the survivors begin infighting amongst themselves. WHy? Because that's what happens in EVERY Zombie movie back to "Night of the Living Dead".I can see why the Zombie movie has an attraction to young filmmakers. It allows you to cheaply and easily put a bunch of disparate characters in a situation where they are fighting for their lives. But seriously, who cares? The narrative on this movie is so jumpy and the plot makes so little sense we just can't follow it after a certain point. Especially the big reveal at the end, which the viewer could have figured out early on, but these people are too dumb.
View MoreDays of darkness, in the first 10 minutes of film .. I felt that .. I will see a great exiting film .. but, after that I discovered that I was wrong .. absolutely wrong you can see the film .. but after it finished you will find yourself disappointed and you will ask yourself : that is the end ?!! .. and you will feel that you waste 85 minutes without any satisfying .. the film about disease which became everywhere and make people as animals .. people eat each other .. blood in everywhere .. but, there were a few people who are in a good health .. they live in a place where protect them from monsters by some wires only !! the film is not logic and the end was very bad .. so I think when you will watch it .. you will feel that you are uncomfortable ..
