Movie Review by Zombie Boy

December 19th, 2007

Favorite movie quote from: Shatter Dead:

"I'm not dead...I'm just folded differently."

Five stars for a sh*tty micro-budget horror film?

Yes.

sh*tty is in the eye of the beholder.

When I watch this film, I see two-thousand dollars and one digital camera documenting the freshest take on the zombie genre in years. When the Angel of Death impregnates a mortal woman, people just sort of don't die. You don't continue living...but you don't die either. You just keep on keeping on. Hence, most people decide that the old axiom of dying young and leaving a good looking corpse suddenly makes a whole lot of f*cking sense.

Except for Susan. She seems to be the sole person who thinks that maybe life is kinda sorta precious. She goes through many trials and tribulations attempting to do something as mundane as going home from getting groceries. She gets carjacked by a group of zombies led by a demented preacher, endures a shoot-out at a "safe house" by men in funny costumes, and for her troubles gets betrayed by her boyfriend. Not the best day she ever had.

It is easy to say the acting is bad, but if you watch closely, it really isn't. In fact, other than lead actress Stark Raven, the acting is more than decent for a project of this size. She is kind of terrible, but she is the director's girlfriend, and hell, she takes a gun barrel in the mommybox with gusto, and that has to be worth something.

This film is either the artiest sleaze film you've ever seen, or the sleaziest art film you've ever seen. Watch it and see for yourself!

From the opening scene with the angels fcking doggy style. With the tts. Seriously, that still messes with my head. And no, not in a good way, you perv.

I had always kind of thought that the pregnant chick later on was the chick getting boned in the beginning, but then last night I finally noticed the hand-braces that she's wearing. She has them on in the beginning, and then again in the shower scene. So, duh to me.

I love the concept for this movie, I really do. I loved it the first time when it was used in Earth X from Marvel comics. The idea is similar enough to make me scratch my head. Basically the reincarnation of Captain Marvel decides to destroy the spirit of death. In doing so he makes it impossible for anybody to truly die, even with fatal injuries. Eventually everything gets fixed, but this movie has plot points that unintentionally mirror it. My issue with this movie is the terrible acting and pace. Those things along make me not like this movie.

"sh*tty is in the eye of the beholder."??? Um, isn't that always the case? ;) You and Angela have your thing for bad movies and goddamnit if you don't always make me curious. Now I guess I'll have to pick this up along with SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE II. >Sigh
