Zombie Driftwood

If you love comedy and you love zomibies then this is a funny dead movie for you.

A group of friends meet up in the Cayman islands for vacation and to see the battle of the bands at the Driftwood Bar. Little do they know but a cruise ship that was missing for 3 days beached outside the bar after venturing through the Bermuda Triangle.

Whats that "zahh zumm zowy" The zombie says it wants a drink while they are on vacation and heads to the bar.

Can this small metal party held up in the bar survive the zombie tourism?

This is a movie that I got behind. I was cheering on our metal loving metal bunch and at other points cheering on the Zombies.

A few examples that wont give away to much of this movie is when the zombies come up out of the sea and wait in line to be serve at a zombie restaurant. The dress code is still in effect, if you want to eat hands and feet you must wear a tie.

The pre-zombie tourism is quite as funny as well. Witty bar banter talking about ex-wifes, reports and metal t-shirts.

Do yourself a favor, skip renting this one and just buy it.

Wake the Witch

A group of friends are out in the woods helping with a class photo project when they stumble up on a chain buried in the ground. Curious as they are they follow the chain to see if the tree still exists where the witch was hung as legend says for her crime of killing children.

After an uneventful day the kids return home to see the strange events starting to unfold.


This movie has about all you could want in a horror movie. Young attractive girls, Creepy people who stay at the edge of vision that could attack you or just merely disappear. An infection that has that is close to the flu, and a town that wants to keep their dark secret.

Acting in the film was above average for most of the b-rated movies I see. The film starts out at a slow pace and have the music effects gradually increase to provide the tension.

There were parts in the film where the light was so low it was hard to see anything at all or know what was happening.

Unfortunately for me this happened at the very end of the movie and left me wondering what exactly really did happen.

Acting 4/5
plot 3-4/5
music 2-3/5 (had a hallow feel to it but kept repeating the same sound as terror arose.)
Location 4/5

Give this movie a go the next time you want an original horror film of suspense.

Sinbad and the Minotaur

Sinbad and the minotaur is about Sinbad and an adventure to get the treasure of Minos.

Along the way they run into a sorcerer and a demon in a humans body that can't be killed. There are sword fights, belly dancing and of course people transforming into bulls.

This movie was spot on for a b-rated review. Sinbad reminds me of a biker. At one point they get back to the camp and explain that they have a map to treasure and they will be leaving the next morning. The crew says we can get provisions this week and study the map. Sin bads reply is "Details,,,, Details.....We leave tomorrow"

What a great gruff line was that.

Costumes for the cast were beautiful. Scenery was excellent since it was shot in Australia.

There are a few parts in the movie where it is very slow but power through it and finish it it will be worth it.

Costumes 5/5
Belly dance in opening 5/5
acting 3-4/5
Action 3/5
Over all I say 4/5

The Lost Future

I was pleasantly surprised by this movie in the fact it was made for tv. This was way better quality and acting then most of the straight to dvds that I have seen as of late.

In a distant future of earth mankind has fallen to ruins and has embraced our past nomadic culture.

If the wilderness wildlife isnt enough to kill you there is a mutated infection that gets past by contact and close proximity to the infected. The infection turns the victims into vicious wild people.

After the village is attacked and most seal themselves off into a cave a small brave group of 3 must journey outside of their area for help and to see if they are not the last of humanity.

You have a young man who's father was a explorer against the village elders. Since his father never returned from one of the outings he is a bit of an outcast. He has to try to prove his worth to the tribe.

Throw in a few females that are nice to look at in leather and you got just about any man interested in watching how the film turns out.

Finding a yellow powder that cures the infection is interesting, but knowing they have to snort it just makes the movie a trip.

If you get a chance grab this movie you'll be glad you did.

Acting 4/5
Appealing leather 5/5
Plot 4/5
Landscaping 5/5
Overall Enjoyment 5/5

Look for this on SyFy.

Alien vs Ninja

This movie is an answer to an age old question. Thats right who would win an Alien or a Ninja if they fought?

Ninja no wait Alien. Watch the movie to find out.

A red streaking comet breaks the calming night to deliver the sinister aliens to our planet. The ninjas coming back from a mission see the comet and report it back to their master.

On their way to search for object tat fell from the heavens they are ambushed.
Who and what was that? The ninjas must find out by staking their lives on an all out fight.

Now that I'm done with the plot lets move onto the things I like most.
The ninjas are made up of some really talented swords men/woman. Throw in the Q of the ninja world who makes explosive bamboo bombs and a gun out of tree bark and you have some comedy relief for a few scenes.

The action sequences are smooth fluid sequences. The outfits for the ninjas remind me a little bit of playing final fantasy. The aliens well... I kept thinking of a dolphins head with blow holes. The rest of the body was like alien3.

Acting 4/5
Action 5/5
small comedy relieve 5/5
A dolphin looking alien from space that kills like metroid samus...
Price less 7/10

Legion: The Final Exorcism

I stumbled upon this diamond in the rough for a horror flick movie.

A priest with a haunting past of a exorcism on his own wife must face the demon again in a young girl recently possessed.

Overall I thought this was a decently done flick. Fairly good acting, the scenery was spot on perfect and devil voices for the demonic stat was good.

The main priest in the movie reminds me of a old private eye meets Dresden files.
He narrates as the story unfolds about his past and the ongoing story of the possessed girl.

Demonic possession 4/5
Acting 4/5
Cinematography 4/5
Over all enjoyment 5/5

Alice in Murderland

I can't say enough that I really enjoyed this movie.

I think I enjoyed it for all the wrong reasons but none the less I did. I couldn't help myself from laughing silly and a big dopey grin on my face. The small one liners were right up b-rated alley.

Film starts off a young mother looking at a potential house on the market. "The glass house"

Strangely enough this house has a sewing room in the basement that is just full of fabric and sewing machines.

You see the mother get axed to start off the tale. Flash forward 20 years to her daughter Alice who is in a soriety and about to celebrate her 21st birthdays at her best friend's house ("the glass house") that her uncle just bought. The same very place that her mother was murdered.

One by one the soriety sisters start to die.

This movie has some great stereo types. The stoner, the dumb blond chick, bitchy spoiled rich girls and kat as the though ass biker chick. well maybe just tough but i'm just going to pretend biker chick.

The fight scenes are lacking. You see an axe swing about 10 times and the person slowly falls to the floor, no cuts on the skin or entrails hanging out. Just smeared blood.

That I can live with. They're at least telling a story and working with what they got. So it passes for me.

Sound in the movie is off as well, not by sync but the scenes where they are walking down the road you can hear ever freaking gravel pebble they are stepping.

I almost bailed out of the movie at this point but luckily it didnt last long so hang in there and keep watching.

After that we get to the awesome costume party of allice in wonderland with the short skirt. What a college fantasy of cat fights that have bad slappign and hair pulling. Score 1 for men. Actually whole movie is more for men in eye candy.

The party that the girls shows up to has ZERO alcohol for a 21st birthday... Ahhh did I miss the point of 21st birthday in College. Nope this cast got this part wrong.


I do reccomend this movie to anyone looking for a good twist to alice in wonderland. Theirs babes in short skirt, cat fights, and random acts of violence in my book its a winner.

Acting 2/5
Eye Candy 4/5
Gore 1/5
Plot the whopping 2/5





So far the only place i've seen this flick is on youtube.
