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.
