Awesome Movie
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
A group of Army recruits (led by STAR TREK's Nichelle Nichols) head into the Kentucky woods for a weekend of training. What they don't expect to run into are some zombie Confederate soldiers led by the ghost of a lady who just happened to be married to Pvt. Ray Ellis (Maxwell Caulfield) in an earlier life. You still with me? While the set up of Confederate zombies seems great, don't get your hopes up as director Armand Mastroianni decides not to go all out. The film should have been more RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD and less what it is now. The biggest problem is that it takes place over a series of days, when it should have taken place in one night. The leads to a series of build ups and screeching halts that really drag the film's pace down. Also, the zombies should have been the focus but they are an afterthought and mostly obscured. Instead, we get this mystery woman - who no one questions why she is in a nightgown in the middle of the woods - and some mumbo jumbo regarding her son (who has some kind of magical powers that make his hands glow and also lived into the 1980s after a 1864 prologue!). Probably the most interesting thing about the film is seeing Nichols alongside future STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION star LeVar Burton. Co-starring Martin Balsam's daughter Talia.
boring and dull flick has lots of bad dialog some headache inducing scenes and most of all it's just boring nothing particularly interesting happens until the neat finale the acting is terrible Maxwell Caufield does okay here but was kinda wimpy for my tastes Nichelle Nichols was the only good actress here she gives a good show with her tough performance Talia Balsam is so so here and is not given much to do all the rest of the actors suck! there isn't much left to say here i just wasn't paying all that much attention to it because it was so dull i was doing other things at the same time NOT WORTH IT! folks avoid this one and leave it on the shelf * out of 5 however the opening is pretty cool when Jeremey brings her mother back to life
I've read some pretty extreme (both positive and negative) reviews for this movie, but it's really a very middle-of-the-road affair. It's directed competently enough to keep you from feeling that you totally wasted your time with it, but it's also so derivative that it can even be called a ripoff (especially of Herschell Gordon Lewis' "Two Thousand Maniacs"; it has practically the same plot). The opening sequence is the best. (**)
This is another movie to put on the ALRIGHT chart. Scottish-born Maxwell Caulfield and Star Treks Nichelle Nichols go down to the woods and get a big surprise. No, not Jason, ZOMBIES! A force that has brought back the dead confederate soldiers to wreak revenge on some recruits. The direction isn't up to much, the story is quite shoddy and the characters are wimps apart from the 2 listed above. The scares of being chased through the woods are quite enjoyable and the shoot-outs are quite good. But to be honest, I've seen more gore in Scooby-Doo than in this! 5.5 out of 10.
