This review is from: Shock-O-Rama (DVD)

The poster was irresistible: "See Blood Thirsty Zombies! Space Aliens! and a Super Colossal Brain!" So it was that in October '05 I whimsically attended the New York screen premiere of Shock-O-Rama at the Pioneer Theater. Brett Piper's latest movie stars Misty Mundae, Julian Wells, AJ Khan, Caitlin Ross, and other EI Cinema regulars.

This is not a bare excuse for soft core porn as many of these actors' earlier vehicles have been. Shock-O-Rama is a lighthearted treatment of classic science fiction and horror clichés. Yet, it is not just a parody; it works as a stand-alone sci-fi/horror movie. Humor pervades without drowning the storylines.

Shock-O-Rama is actually three interconnecting tales. The central one, which holds the other two in place, is "Zombie This!" Misty Mundae plays a B-movie soft core scream queen (sound familiar?) who is fired by an independent New Jersey based studio, prompting a funny tirade from her that includes a biting and all too credible evaluation of her employers and her fans. Spending her first night of unemployment in the country, Misty's character accidentally unleashes a real zombie much like the ones she has battled many times in her films. Self-referential humor abounds as in the obligatory bathtub scene (as best as I can remember the line several months later): "At least I can get naked without someone filming it!" Meantime, back at the studio, the execs' ongoing search for a replacement actress causes them (and us) to view shorts involving junkyard aliens ("Mechanoid") and, yes, a super colossal brain ("Lonely is the Brain").

The film is creative, well scripted, well directed, and professionally acted. Given the shoe-string budget, the FX and post production are quite good. They include an effective stop action sequence with a robot (reminiscent of a War of the Worlds tripod) constructed in a junkyard by aliens.

Though it should not be approached with anything like the expectations one has of mainstream, high-budget, Hollywood productions, Shock-O-Rama is a great deal of fun and is an altogether impressive independent work.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty darn good..., October 14, 2006

This review is from: Shock-O-Rama (DVD)

...the cover come on, I could not say no to that. Well it is about three tales that end up being linked to one story. There's a story about a zombie, one about an alien, and another about a brain. They are all interesting and the way they linked them was interesting too. I didn't find myself bored with this one at all, it has a little bit of everything. Well done. I would recommend this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars the best Shock-O-Rama Cinema film ever made, April 13, 2008

Good acting, good cinematography, good story. Shock-O-Rama is a fun, sexy, and gore filled spoof of E.I. Independent Cinema's films. A must see for horror fans.
