Are these people trying to compete with Troma?,

This review is from: The Wickeds (DVD)
This is about some kids that go to a supposedly haunted house where a low budget horror movie is being filmed. At the same time, some grave robbers dig up a corpse in a nearby cemetery in order to steal a valuable amulet. This causes all the bodies in the cemetery to come to life, the grave robbers run to the house the kids are in, and everybody runs around frantically until the end.
I really wasn't expecting much when I got this; it looked like an extremely low budget haunted house / zombie movie. I was prepared for the usual bad acting, bad writing, and ridiculous plot. What I wasn't prepared for was the utterly amateurish camerawork - you can literally get seasick watching this thing. I believe it was filmed by a guy who drank a pint of Jack Daniels, sprained his ankle, and then picked up a handheld video camera and staggered and stumbled around for the entire duration of the production. And let's not forget the sound either. While it's not uncommon to be unable to hear what the characters are saying because the microphone was too far away, you do get the sound of their footsteps loud and clear (through the rear speakers for some reason). And then there's the whole comedy angle the thing goes for - when the zombies attack, we're treated to a nu-metal soundtrack blasting through the speakers, complete with that silly cookie monster singing. There are a lot more attempts at comedy, they all fall entirely flat. Now, I could probably live through all this, but it has to go even further. Almost all the characters spend the last half of the movie screaming frantically at each other. Oh boy, is this ever a joy to sit through. The only two characters who don't engage in this festival of supreme annoyance are one of the grave robbers, who sits in a chair making deadpan comments and ordering people around, and the blond girl, who is the only one to keep a cool head. She's the only likable character in the whole movie. The single redeeming quality about this mess is a long make-out scene between a girl in pink underwear and her boyfriend. Those pink undies are really the star of the movie.

Tries to be stupid...and wins,
By Nathan Christian (Pitcairn, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Wickeds (DVD)
I think alot of the other reviewers of this film were expecting way too much and when they actually saw it, tried to review it with a serious -movie-template in mind, and not using the bad-b-movie-template to watch it. The movie does not take itself serious, so why would you think it was a serious entry into the horror genre?
It's the Dollar Days at Kmart type film. The kids are supposedly going to a horror movie set to party for the weekend. What horror movie have you ever seen that uses store bought Halloween decorations and props? Even the zombie make up is that white clown face paint grease stuff. The acting is bad. It's not Oscar type acting, it's more bad porn type acting...oh wait! Porn legend Ron "Creepy" Jeremy is starring in this! But this type of acting for this type of movie works! It's all high school drama class type acting...with alot of over wrought crying and squealing. As for the editing...there are LOADS of mistakes, but the producers don't care! It adds to the fun of the film to pick mistakes out. There is a make out scene in a bedroom in the house...but from camera shot to camera shot, the couple seem to be taking clothes off and putting them back on. One shot the guy has his jeans on...the next he has them off, the next they are back on. In another scene, a zombie breaks into the house, a girl runs out of the house...and the camera followers her for a distance as she runs screaming...but meanwhile back at the house the cut to the kids jumping the zombie in the house...but in the back ground you see the girl running back out the door....again! This movie was made to be just enjoyed for it's rotteness. It doesn't take itself serious, it's all done knowing it's not a classic, it's just a bad b-movie...and that's what makes it a GOOD b-movie!

Ron Jeremy is in it, and clothed - enough said,
By
This review is from: The Wickeds (DVD)
Ron Jeremy is an embarrassment to movies everywhere. I can't even imagine the horror of all the women who have had to deal with his rotund naked awfulness. Now we have to deal with his more rotund, aged and just awful appearance clothed. He can't act, he's not interesting and he's downright a movie ruiner. But, unfortunately for this movie, he didn't ruin this one; it was ruined far before he was cast in a role. This is just another ultra low budget poorly conceived and even poorly executed zombie concept. People randomly show up at a house, then find they're hunted by zombies, then attempt to deal with that situation. No plot whatsoever to establish any realism or believability. Do yourself a favor - save your eyes from the irreversible danger Ron Jeremy can do to them, and save your brain from the uninspiringly lame story.
