..... but after just 30 mins I had to stop watching it. I can't believe there was a $2M budget for this movie, what a waste of money. This is something you would expect to find on Syfy because zombie vultures? SERIOUSLY? SMH! I don't know how it ends and quite frankly I don't care either. It's truly laughable.I can't believe I actually hunted and hunted for this movie to check it out and I could rant on and on about how HORRIBLE this movie is/was, but it's wasted enough of my time already. If you haven't seen this movie, DON'T bother. You would be better off punching yourself in the face for entertainment!

View More(Acknowledgement to the immortal Joe Bob Briggs) eM's Grindhouse:Robert Kurtzman's no-budget, grade Z splatterfest, which I've subtitled, "Blood-sucking Zombie Buzzards from Beyond the Grave." Pure drive-in exploitation featuring wonderful old-school in-camera effects, including puppetry, rear-screen projection, and something I haven't seen in a while--stop-motion animation.Zombie-fu. Mad scientist-fu. Bone-saw fu. Ax-fu. No firearms, but a surprisingly unending supply of baseball bats. Topless aardvarking in a convertible. Nubile dancing girls, a throwback to the fabulous Russ Meyer films of the 60s.Notable quote: KAT: "Why is this happening? Is God punishing us?" No, Kat. He's punishing US.And we love it.eM sez: check it out.

View MoreI apologise for going against the prevailing wisdom, but just because a film has a lot of blood and gore, that doesn't automatically make it a good film.Yes, there is a lot of blood and gore here - a truly prodigious amount actually - but, if that is a worthwhile thing in itself, it's the only thing.There is no plot of any consequence (not that makes sense, anyway), there is a great deal of running around and screaming and shouting, but no character development and no acting of any consequence, complete predictability from start to finish, and some really bad CGI vultures.So if that's your thing, enjoy!
... View MoreAllow me to summarize the first ten minutes or so for you: This crazed Russian guy has a couple tied down and after the woman has died a bloody death, he cracks open the skull of the man (shown on screen) and injects him with the "rage mutagen". The man transforms into a bloody killing machine, rips loose and attacks the crazed Russian guy. This one puts up a fair fight, but eventually, the creature wins and stabs the crazed Russian guy dead with a saw or something (shown on screen). Cut to a party of some town young folk in the middle of nowhere, where the decent Mushroomhead play. Cut to a couple having sex in a car. After what felt like 10 minutes (apparently, the producers insisted on a a sex scene for the film. However, while I do enjoy the occasional sex scene, this one was just sort of annoying as the setup for what follows is all too obvious), the creature bursts into the scene and splits the skull of the guy open with a saw (shown on screen). The woman crawls away in terror, but the creature catches her, plugs out her eye (shown on screen) and proceeds to eat it (shown on screen).At that point, I stopped the movie and vowed never to look at it again. If you are not looking for the real trashiest-of-the-trashy movies, this one is not for you. I am no wimp. The gore on screen did neither freak nor gross me out. It was just so... unnecessary and annoying. Maybe I'm not far enough into this splatter/slasher stuff.This is the type of movie you would usually find running at like 1am on the cheapest cable channel you can find in your country. And even then, heavily cut.0,5 points for Mushroomhead. 0,5 points for the Zombie theme. I like zombies.
