4.0 out of 5 stars
You would want to see this one again, February 20, 2006
Okay, we rented this film for a laugh or rather a chuckle. We expected it to be as bad as the case said it would be: (paraphrasing) If you've ever seen a bad horror move, this one is worse.
Wrong. How very wrong. This film is good, even though it had the potential of being very bad.
One, the performers do a nice job because if they were bad, the movie would've been. Two, no one takes themselves or the film seriously-that important. The film is quirky and the director does nothing to hide that. Three, and this helps, there is no memorable bad language and nudity. Strangely enough this film carries itself-there's a plot which is followed logically to a conclusion.
Finally, you would want to see this one again. Also, the film is conveniently left with "sequel" potential, too. Now, sit back, relax and enjoy.

Entertaining, but Vacuous in the extreme; R Rated Edition, February 5, 2006
Whoever said that this film is the US answer to SHAUN OF THE DEAD has obviously not seen or understood SHAUN OF THE DEAD.
I got the R rated edition of this film since I had not realised that an UNRATED edition existed.
This film is something like Michael Jackson's thriller meets, Buffy, meets ... every dreadful example of film work ever.
There is one EVIL DEAD moment where a film poster( the Raised Hand motif) appears with the cover of EVIL DEAD, but an altered Title, however it is clearly the EVIL DEAD poster.
The core story for this film is actually quite interesting. IF someone had made an effort and worked the script, it may have made a very good film.
However, the start of the descent into silliness is the pie scene just when Diedrich Bader's character is found dead. The slipping around looks like a 3 Stooges Sketch, which is point two in the rip off Sam Raimi sub plot.
The continual useage of the singing plot links is REALLY silly.
It does have some entertainment value, but if this is the best Independent Horror film of the year, then the crop of Indie Horror films is VERY bad, and VERY low quality.
The extras are probably of the same quality as the film, but some of the bloopers are better than the film ... and the extended film scenes, and deleted scenes are probably better than the real thing in the film.
Do NOT pay more than 10 dollars for this film. See if you can get it as a tax write off to the company that produced the film :-)
