The movie credits open with some good horror music and some effective, but cheap effects. I am enjoyed the credits as seemingly the only name that appeared was "Brian Thomson." Chuck (Joseph Riker) is getting married and Sammy (Gregg Aaron Greenberg) has arranged for his bachelor party at Gordon's bungalow. The characters are quickly introduced as they get picked up. Gordon (Joe Testa) is macabre creepy in a Normans Bates dysfunctional kind of way. Take note that the code he uses to disable the alarm is "666". The conversations tended to be sexual and humorous.Soon 3 "cheerleader" strippers arrive with thighs that look like cottage cheese. They are a tough bunch of women who went to "Our Lady Without Mercy." Gordon, who is believed to be gay, objects to their presence but is overruled by male testosterone. It isn't long before the demonic action happens. The special effects and dialogue is designed to be comical. Lloyd Kaufman has a drag cameo appearance.F bomb, sex, nudity (Black scream queen Monique Gata Dupree, Zoe Hunter) Also available in an 8-pack, "Movies for the Man Cave."
... View MoreOut of everyone I know, I'm the one that always defends the movies I see no matter how poor they are. I always ask my friends to have an open mind when watching a film in order to get the most enjoyment out of it. I've finally, for the first time I can recall, been unable to heed my own advice.This "film" is the worst piece of crap I have ever had the displeasure of seeing. My sense of self respect will never forgive me after after subjecting my grey matter to this kind of abuse.I hope the "actors" in this roadkill made enough to pay the administration cost for their GEDs, cause they'll need to find different work. This level of acting needs its own definition or class. It doesn't fall under any known category of professional performance art. The acting in this wet fart makes Killer Klowns from Outer Space look like The Shawshank Redemption.Now, I could theoretically look past the mind-numbing banality of the acting, or the oatmealishness of the hideous strippers (who, by the way, don't strip), or even the childish and nonsensical story. But the one thing that I found absolutely unforgivable was the "special" effects. Never before have I seen true special effects made by true special kids from the classroom beside the boiler room. These effects looked like they were lifted directly from a bootleg Japanese copy of Zombie Massacre for the NES circa 1987.Usually, I can recommend bad movies on the basis that they are so bad they're good. But this is just plain bad. I hope anyone who invested in this bucket of yuck found a high enough window to jump out of. I almost feel like I'd rather be dead than live in a world where this film exists.I cannot in good conscience recommend this film under any circumstances. DO NOT even watch it for a laugh, as you will wind up sobbing into your couch cushions like a freshly scolded toddler.0 out of 10
... View More'Bachelor Party in the Bungalow of the Damned' - What a title, huh? How could this fail with at least being really fun? I don't know, but it did.The story focuses on a group of thirtysomething guys who head up to the Hamptons to a buddy's bungalow to throw a bachelor party for another friend. Once there, a group of middle-aged, overweight hookers (who look nothing, NOTHING like the girl on the cover. . . not even a little bit!) stop by randomly and give the boys a show. Unfortunately, they're possessed by some type of evil/demonic force and they started to kill the guys off (mostly during sex) one by one.There isn't much to expect from a film like this. Technically, the film isn't the worst I've seen, but it's far from good. The cinematography is strange, it goes from steadicam to shakicam, uses random different filters for no reason whatsoever, doesn't focus properly, etc. It's often too dark to see what's going on, especially in some of the outdoor action sequences. The acting was, for the most part, bad. Sammy (Gregg Aaron Greenberg) was probably the only actor that I could really compliment, mostly because he reminded me of Jeff Anderson from the 'Clerks' movies. But, the flick only cost twenty grand to make and it's a film not made looking for great story or acting or anything of the like. It's basically a way to show off some gore effects, nudity, and have a few laughs. Unfortunately, the gore was really not good at all and looked like something out of a crappy 80s TV show. The nudity was, well, nothing we wanted to see as all three of the hookers/strippers really had nothing to offer (actually, they had TOO much to offer for the most part). There were a few laughs, mainly caused by the ridiculousness of it all, but sometimes the dialogue actually gave a giggle. The movie ran about a half-hour too long and around the 40 minute mark, I was merely counting down the time. I mean, if you're going to put most of the story into the first half, why even have the second half? Give us a break and just cut the movie down and make it a quick watch that we can either enjoy or, if we don't like it, just get over with faster. Since they didn't, it's mostly a bore with very little redemption.Final Verdict: 3/10.-AP3-
... View MoreChuck's (Joseph Riker) about to get married to Michelle (Trina Analee) in a few days. His cousin Sammy (Gregg Aaron Greenberg) is put in charge of throwing the bachelor party and gets in contact with a former high school acquaintance - the uptight Gordon (Joe Testa) - who allows them, along with their pals Paulie (Sean Parker) and Fish (Gelu Dan Rusu), to use his uncle's bungalow in the Hampton's as long as they don't trash the place. Three mysterious, leather-clad strippers (Zoe Hunter, Monique Dupree and Kaitlyn Gutkes) show up for the evening's entertainment, drag three of the men into bedrooms and soon reveal themselves to be some kind of vampire-demon-succubi creatures who feast on human flesh. Two of the five men are quickly killed, Chuck is transformed into an undead vampire and Sammy must try to straighten things out before Michelle shows up to share some important news with her future husband.A low-budget effort, for sure, but debuting director Brian Thomson (who also wrote, produced and edited) actually does a fairly good job working within his budget range and giving anyone apt to even rent a title like this in the first place exactly what they want to see. The film is well-paced and, though a bit too dark at times, decently shot for the digital medium. The running time of 77 minutes is about right. There's comedy (some amusing, some not so much), the dialogue isn't nearly as bad as one might expect, characters are drawn fairly well, the cast is appealing for the most part (Greenberg in particular shows real promise) and there's plenty of nudity provided by B-movie Scream Queens Hunter and Dupree. The ending (which utilizes some flashbacks) is also well done. The lynch pin here are some awful, laughable CGI effects, which take it down a notch or two.Overall, it's a pretty fun way to spend an hour or so of your time IF you enjoy B-movies. As long as your not expecting deep, life altering cinema (and who would, based on that title?) and can accept this on its own terms, you should have a pretty good time.
