I'm highly disappointed to report this film was not particularly good. The opening was ok, and the ending was ok, but the intervening 80% of the movie just dragged slowly without any particularly inspiring action. Several observations. First, despite the movie's description, the film really isn't that violent or gory. I don't especially like gore and/or gratuitous violence and had no problem watching this film, so don't be dissuaded on that basis. Second, also despite references to paranormal activity, things just basically happen with no explanation or believable element. Granted, the overwhelming majority of horror films are not quite believable, but they at least try to present a story to explain why a certain something has happened. Not so in this movie; a group of people find themselves at a party, then wham, someone gets possessed and more bad things happen. It simply goes through the paces of what a usual horror film includes without any useful plot elements to create a story and weave it all together. Fans of Tiffany Shepis will be only partially pleased, as her role is somewhat short, and most of it is her (SPOILER) as a possessed demon-like being, but you still get some. Its worth a rental, but I encourage you to do so before you buy.

Here we have an example of a movie that wasn't quite sure what it wanted to be. Biker flick? Party film? Horror movie? It jumps all over the place and never quite lands on one category or another but tickles each.
A group of bikers are getting together at a secluded farm far out in the country. They party hard and tensions rise when one of the members, Cody, sees his ex Michelle with a new boyfriend. She's a tease and knows it, doing all she can to incite him to violence. Hey maybe that's because he's "the violent kind". Hmmm.
So the party drags on for a while and her little sister Megan back from college is there as well. This is the good girl who, for the life of me, I can't figure out why she's at the party. You would think she would be well aware of the type of things that happen at these parties but apparently she is more innocent than can be believed. She has a thing for this Cody and has since she was a teen. Ah young love.
Things turn crazy when Michelle tries to leave later than most guests. Cody, his best friend and his girlfriend and Megan are all that's left but going down the road they come across Michelle and her new beau's car. Michelle has been hurt and the guy is dead. Oh but things get better.
Once back at the house, Michelle becomes possessed by some sort of demon. Trapped in the house with no idea who is the cause of this, the threesome decides to try and escape. The only problem is that it is a group of ghosts from the fifties who have taken over the house and intend to kill each of them.
This group is made up of all sorts of cool cats. Greaser, stylish mod, you name it, the different groups are represented here. And they intend to wreak havoc. Who will stop them? Who cares! I'm telling you by this point I was so bored and tired of the bad acting, bad photography, bad direction, bad script...nearly bad everything...that I didn't care and didn't want to know. I just wanted it to be over.
The fortunate characters in this film were the ones killed early on in it. Not because they didn't have to be eviscerated or suffer broken limbs but because they didn't have to suffer through the boring rubbish that is called THE VIOLENT KIND.
No heroes, all villains, poor possession, biker wannabes and fifties doo whop do not combine to make a good movie. This film is the proof of that.

One of the first things I noticed is the frequent change in the genre of music. First it is gangsta rap, then punk rock, then heavy blues, then finally your metal track. It was not your classic grindhouse soundtrack as the Butcher Brothers sought to do things their own way. There is a 50th birthday party for the Mom of the biker gang "The Crew." They get her a couple of female strippers, very thoughtful. Cody's ex-girlfriend Michelle is there with her new bf which she kisses on in front of Cody, a real "B" word. She leaves and returns covered in blood. While laying in bed, passed out, one of the bikers decides to "get her while she is still warm." Michelle awakens while getting felt up and wants more. She turns into a demon/zombie and bites off a hunk of flesh. The screams attract the rest of the gang. One guy pulls Michelle off the biker and holds her down on the bed, then Michelle's sister Megan comes in and attempts to pull the guy off the monster Michelle.
The events are confusing and the movie waits too long explain what is happening.
Pluses: The bad guy had his own music as he whistled in an off key "Pop Goes the Weasel" although it wasn't used again.
The zombie/demon Michelle possessed (pun intended) that certain "Evil Dead" quality.
Dead people have a sense of humor.
Home invaders are from the "1950's."
Negatives: Not a movie for those who take their films seriously.
Sex, nudity, F-bomb.

You may not "get it" the first time.
Okay first off, this is a B movie. It isn't "Grand Illusion" or "Sophies Choice". But if you are reading this you aren't looking for that, I hope. Read more

What a Romp
You cannot dictate to something its nature. Or, as some people say, 'it is what it is.' This does not aspire to some lofty post. It's a biker meets zombie-ish movie. Read more
