Very disappointing...
A lot of fun.
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
It is a Low budget film, but they made it work with what they had. The characters were awesome, some great lines...funny as f*%k!!! A MUST.
Hell yeah! That's pretty much the feeling the average person will have throughout this compact and action-filled piece of garbage. It's an incredibly crazy, riveting and somewhat moronic 75 minutes, it's the kind of project that defines what B-list horror should be all about. The hilarious (in a sadistic way) opening immediately drags you in, and the movie just utterly refuses to let you go after that. Demonic zombie nuns, fluorescent(!) blood, hot chicks, washed-up gangsta rapper Coolio playing a cop, I thank God for showing me all this pure uncut greatness. If all this stuff can't get your attention, I really don't know what will. The Adrienne Barbeau appearance is just icing on the cake, brilliant role. Of course this movie isn't particularly well-made or well-written, but I stopped caring roughly ten seconds in. Loads of fun.
This was a really great little horror movie that had some hilarious surprises up it's sleeve. With excellent direction and above average (for the genre) acting, I'm thinking of that 'Goth girl' in particular, it was a blast.The film starts like every other horror movie : A bunch of teens decide to stay in a scary place, but these teens are actually nicely drawn characters and quite funny. As soon as the 'action' kicks in though, all bets are off. The film changes style to a 'love it or loathe it' UV lit zombie nightmare. It plays out like an episode of Buffy on Speed or Acid or both.With fresh quirky characters (the Lord of Darkness guy, with his terrible accent) to keep you entertained throughout, this is definitely worth a watch. Especially if Adrienne Barbeau kicking glitchy,UV, demon ass is your thing Nice One!
Not many low budget horror films work as well as this Mendez film. Mike Mendez successfully transports us to the 80's when horror films reveled in their clichéd characters and situations and the fans accepted and enjoyed it. This movie had it all! The jock, the cheerleader, the rich guy, the stoner, the goth, the geek and the nice girl. Toss in a couple demons and Adrienne Barbeau and you've easily got a movie that could have been made in 1987! It was wonderful! People looking for the self-aware nods and winks established in the glut of 90's teen horror films will be highly disappointed. This film never takes itself seriously and keeps it fast and fun. I highly recommend this film to horror fans.
