Corpses
They've got time to kill.
ZOMBIES
Reviewed by GeneralCinema

What do you get when you give an asshole a couple of hundred dollars to make a horror movie? The answer is Corpses. I don't even know where to begin with this "film" that is clearly a mockery of all things cinema. It was bad from start to finish and I was finally relieved when I saw the words "THE END."

The plot revolves around a mortician who develops a serum that brings the dead back to life for one hour at a time. He has spent all of his free time and money developing this that he is about to lose his funeral home. Using this serum, he enlists his newly risen allies (I refuse to call them zombies, you'll find out why) to commit crimes of larceny and to kidnap his ex-wife for his revenge on her.

It's almost painful to watch this farce. it looks almost like it's a student film, yet it has the quality and the pacing of a porn movie. I wish I was kidding about that.

The only redeemable actor in this group is Tiffany Shepis. It seemed she cared more about what she was doing than anyone else. Apparently the people who were playing the newly risen never watched a zombie movie, or the director had his head up his ass. Maybe it's a combination of the two.

That leads me to the gore, which wasn't too bad, but the newly risen don't eat anyone. They did, however rip people apart, which left their limbs lying on the ground. It's too bad that this had more of a comic effect. They also ripped people's hearts out of their chests, which would have been cooler if the hearts had been eaten.

Now onto the newly risen. There are several reasons why I refuse to call them zombies. First, one minute they were shuffling around and the next minute they were running at full speed. Second, one of them talked, which should never be allowed in a zombie movie. Lastly, they were reduced to drug addicts looking for their next fix. there was a scene where they were all holding their arms out for more serum so they could stay alive for another hour.

The mortician says that his newly risen allies have been trained to obey him, and he also debriefs them on their larceny missions. Again, I wish I was kidding. The funniest scene had to be when he dropped three of the newly risen off and tells them to keep a low profile. It obvious that they're dead. How can they keep a low profile?

This movie is definately NOT recommended.
