New Amsterdam, 1686: evil witch Eva (LeeAnne Baker) interrupts the marriage of Dawn (Jacquie Fitz) and William (Michael Conte), psychically summoning the virgin bride to a Satanic altar to be sacrificed in a ritual that would grant Eva eternal life. Dawn's throat is cut, but before the ceremony can be completed, Eva is killed by priest Henry (William K. Reed).300 years later, and Eva, reincarnated as a peroxide-blonde punk biker chick with bad make-up, proceeds to suck the life energy from unfortunate New Yorkers to feed to her mouldy zombie acolytes (via her three sets of ectoplasm-oozing tits!); once fully revived, these manky minions seek out the reincarnation of Dawn, so that the witch can finish what she has started. Can Italian cop Billy and do-gooder Rev. James, the 20th century reincarnations of William and Henry, prevent her from succeeding?Six breasts are better than two, as the old saying goes, but even with its triple-chested, zombie-suckling witch bitch, Necropolis proves to be a frustratingly dull slice of 80s schlock horror, with a dreadful script and uninspired direction from Bruce Hickey, and dire performances all round. There are, of course, a few giggles to be had from the sheer ineptitude of proceedings—Baker's embarrassingly bad impromptu interpretive dance routines are good for a laugh, as is the bloody decapitation of a zombie that continues to scream long after his noggin has gone—but when you're not sniggering, you'll probably be yawning.3.5 out of 10, generously rounded up to four for IMDb.
... View MoreEvil witch Eva (robustly played with lip-licking wicked relish by slinky blonde stunner LeeAnn Baker) gets burned at the stake in the late 1600's. However, Eva gets reincarnated in 1980's New York City as a spiky punker babe with the ability to manipulate people's minds and suck out their life force. Boy, does this delectably dreadful doozy possess all the right wrong stuff to rate as a real four-star stinkeroonie: The clunky (mis)direction by Bruce Hickey (who also wrote the seriously idiotic and nonsensical script), cheesy roaring 80's rock soundtrack, tacky gore, terrible acting from a lame no-name cast (Michael Conte wins the top thespic dishonors with his extremely grating portrayal of the obnoxious Italian cop hero), the gaudy Greed Decade fashions and hairstyles, tin-eared dialogue, a botched climatic raid on Eva's underground lair, and groan-inducing "it ain't over yet!" sequel set-up non-ending all provide a wealth of unintentional belly laughs. Better yet, 80's flash-in-the-pan East Coast exploitation fixture Baker makes the most out of her lone showy starring role: This lithe'n'luscious minx not only looks blazing hot in trashy black threads, but also busts some gnarly dance moves, utters plenty of paint-peeling harsh profanity (including the c-word!), and even at one wonderfully wacky point grows two additional sets of breasts (!) so she can nurse her robed zombie minions. Don Great's funky-throbbing synthesizer score hits the get-down groovy spot. The grungy New York City locations add a little gritty urban flavor. A total schlocky hoot.
... View MoreOkay, I know I do this to myself by trolling Impact Free Movies.. but jeez, man, find something with some quality.This is the kind of crap they put on the shelves of video stores (remember when we had video stores!) in the 1980's when they realized that there weren't enough new movies coming out The plot is a witch from the 17th century is killed, but then comes back to life to resurrect her cult. Unfortunately, while she's hot and has powers, her cult members are all kind of rotting and disgusting. This is why you don't join cults, kiddies.No one in this movie can act. The lead actress does a bunch of scenes where she dances "seductively" to pad this turkey out.
... View MoreIt's a bad day for movies at my place. First I have to stop watching "Funeral Home" due to boredom. Then I put in this movie. Good thing I had my horror magazines to read during the slow parts. One scene with 3 pairs of dripping breasts (on one witch) cannot carry a whole movie. It begins in the 1600's, yet the witch is wearing 80's make-up and underwear. Also she is doing a none-too-cool 80's dance. I go to 80's dance clubs and have seen nothing so goofy looking as these ridiculous steps. Not as bad as "Ghoulies IV", but quite bad.
