Product Description

When popular horror actress Rebecca Raven (M. Mundae) gets the axe from the ‘B’ movie studio that made her a household name, she travels to the country for some rest and relaxation…and a bloody confrontation with a flesh-starved zombie hungry to bite off more than it can swallow. Meanwhile, the frantic studio executives must rummage through past productions to find a sexy new star for their next film, and they come across two fright flicks that may offer a solution. Mechanoid features tiny, killer aliens – on the run from intergalactic police – that crash-land in a New Jersey salvage yard and battle its pissed-off proprietor with a 50-foot-tall creature borne of scrap metal and junked parts. In Lonely Are the Brain, an over-sized, under-stimulated hunk of evil gray matter experiments on beautiful young women for the sole purpose of experiencing human sensual pleasure. Does either film star the next "Rebecca Raven," who could soon be nothing but zombie left-overs?

5.0 out of 5 stars Making the Cliches Click, January 11, 2006

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

By	Don Cheeto (Bakersfield, CA) - See all my reviews

...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

By	Joel S./Max B. (New Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews

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.
