Zombie Beach Party (2003)
I'd rather be eaten by zombies, than see it again!
I was so excited to see this movie. Original idea in the plot summary, great cover art. The costumes and the characters interested me from the front.
But BLAM the dullness of the movie hit me Sooooo hard that it demolished all hope to enjoy this poorly made effort. The characters had zero development beyond them being introduced. I really didn't give a damn about any of them surviving, they were strangers through the whole thing. The "babe"(Mercedes) was not really a babe at all, I was almost glad that I couldn't see the rest of her face. Ulysses was so flat I could use his character as a coaster, and thats really a problem when he's supposed to be the hero. What was with his lame clothes. A Mexican wrestler would never wear anything so dull, especially a true hero. Think back to the BLUE DEMON & SANTO, and all the great Mexican wrestling monster movies of the 70's. They could really rip apart zombies and look good doing it, not the group of reject uggos in this waste of time. Half way through, I really wanted it to end. The story and characters were not progressing any further after the first 20 min, and the movie just kept eating up my time... The one redeeming character was Tiki, I almost wanted to know more about him, he was the only character who seemed to have any passions or emotions at all. But the makers were ridiculously trying to up-sell Ulysses the whole damn movie, and he was very very bland. I hope the makers all have day jobs. The guy at subway who made my sandwich contributes more to the world than this project.
Club Dread (2004)
Cheeky movie too smart and subtle not see again.
This film is too cheeky not to enjoy. It was not very well received or respected at the box office, but this little horror send-up will live on i'm sure. It just needs to find it's proper audience. It's not as white trash as SUPER TROOPERS, the previous good effort from broken lizard, but CLUB DREAD made itself into a very enjoyable episode of "clue." The characters are well established and enjoyable to watch, the humor is so peppered throughout the film that it's impossible to soak it all up in the first viewing. The colors, camera work and use of music made the film slick, and smooth to watch. It's such a high-five to horror films that if you enjoy the genre, you will bond with this movie like a fellow friend. Where broken lizard are so good at what they do, they create characters and act them as people who don't seem like celebrities, but just funny people you'd love to know at a party. No Adam Sandler distance between them and the audience. Very crafty and well made, you should see this film. Just don't expect a blockbuster zone-out.
