COMMENTS
Man, what the hell was going on in that film. I see these people going at on the grass behind some mansion and the next thing you know it the dead start to rise outta no where. What I don't get is why they are rising and why so many dead people are buried in the garden.
Anyway, the lameass film starts out with a group of people who are invited to spend the night at some scottish mansion, which is occupied by someone known as "the professor" and a few of the workers there. There's a lot of mindless sex in the beginning then the dead start walking around and attacking everyone. The zombie effects were very crappy. They all looked the same and they all looked like they were burnt to hell. They looked like friggin' burnt toast.
The plot makes no real sense at all. There's no explanation as to why they got invited to the mansion and why no one really seems to ask questions. The acting was horrible and they added this twisted incest sub-plot in the story between the mother and son, which also didn't make any sense or had a point to it.
There was an interesting nipple bitting scene though. Which brings me to the gore. I guess there was a lot of gore, but it was the same old stuff over and over again. The zombies attack someone, then the next scene shows them eating the person's guts. It was done at least 3 times in this film. They could have at least come up with someone more original than that. The guts looked real though, I wouldn't be surprised if they came from a pig or something.
The directing was pretty crappy and the lighting was even worse. I could barely see what the hell was going on through half the film. It was all mainly in the dark. I was incredibly bored with the film and all the zombie action that was going on. Normally I like to see a horror flick with loads of zombies, but the zombies were obviously guys in burnt up masks and it just didn't do much for me.
One thing that seperates these zombies from other ones you might see in other horror films is that these zombies used weapons and their skulls would crack like eggs. I thought that was kinda funny. There's nothing suspenseful, mysterious, or scary about this film. It's just a lame Night of the Living Dead wannabe. The only thing I liked about this movie was the ending. That was decent, but the rest of the film was just crap.
OVERALL
Another pointless zombie flick from the 80s. Don't bother with this film. It's just nudity and dumbass zombies, with a little incest thrown in. |
