Garbage. Biggest cop out ending ever., 15 February 2005

Author: Greg Gorelick from San Diego

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Before I even waste time on this, I'll tell you why I rented it. My girlfriend apparently likes to rent bad B horror films and pick at them. While this sounds like a fun evening, I now remember why I like GOOD horror films (I'm still waiting for a good one to come out of the USA that isn't a remake). I want the 2 hours of my life back I lost watching it. The plot is nonexistent... some rich guy invites friends to a funeral home, then there are plot twists that just plain SUCK. A mysterious key, the lamest zombies ever seen on film (watch as you see the same zombies come out of the ground two or three times over, from the same angle) and the worst acting this side of high school.

I CANNOT comprehend how some person that was involved in this film didn't catch half the crap they let through to the final edit. I seem to remember having fun watching really bad movies... but when they're this bad, well.. it just hurts. I knew when I saw it in Blockbuster as a double-feature with "Hell Asylum" it would be a bad B movie... but not this bad.

Holy sh*t?!?!?!? did I just pay 4 bucks to see this!?, 24 July 2001
Author: death280 from PA

I will start off by saying this is indeed the worst film ever made.The story if you can call it that,is some guy that looks like he is straight off of beverly hills 90210 pretends he is dead and sets up a fake funeral at a castle.His friends show up and he gets up out of the coffin laughing.they get p***ed,and he tells them they can win a million bucks.All they have to do is find the "talon key".So they all agree and hold a seance.One girl gets possesed by a cartoon wavy thingy and starts speaking latin.As it turns out the castle was an old witches prison and the cartoon thing was one of there spirits.This somehow wakes up three hunch back/executioners and they rise from there graves.and they repeat the scene of them getting out of the ground about 15 times.From then on everyone wanders around and a cartoon thing goes into their mouth and they just stand still and say "Sutra,Sutra,Sutra" then the 3 hunch backs come and the victim says "ah the executioners" then you see the weapons raise and a squirt of blood goes on the person.Then later when you see the bodies the wounds and blood have magically vanished!It doesnt remotely make sense however it is not as bad as bloodstorm.anywho the people just all get killed without resisting at all.It is the worst movie ever made avoid it at all cost.For anyone who has seen it I recomend flushing your eyes out with acid.And then there is the great quote "I never had sex with a zombie before,is this gonna hurt?"In closing I would like to say if I made this movie I would most likely put a bullet in my head.

Truly the worst horror film ever made, 29 March 2005

Author: gringalet from Isle of Man

...but in a hilarious kind of way.

The acting is fantastically bad – these people should have got Oscars for it.

There wasn't any real plot, even for a horror film; to be honest, I can't even remember how it ended.

The 'special effects' – if they can be called such – were shocking, as the same scene was reused and reused, with glowing red eyes drawn in on what looks like some dodgy Amiga program.

All in all, one to watch if you're drunk and need to laugh very, very heartily.

Bonus: boobs, although they were in a hilarious sex scene.

I would definitely rent it again.

I agree. WORST MOVIE EVER!, 2 September 2002

Author: (ilovtheend@msn.com) from Seattle W.A.

I don't even need to explain it. It's awful....yet....I was compelled to buy it when it was on sale at Blockbuster for $2. Just to say I had it. There was the most obscure and awful movie ever, and I had seen it, and it was two dollars. Wonderful. Now I have another piece of junk...

Prison of the bad actors., 22 July 2003
Author: sketchy from The bottom of the ocean.

A prison is haunted by spirits of the prisoners that died in it. Thats the whole plot. The film suffers mainly suffers from poor acting, direction, and effects. And the reason anyone bothered in participating in this project was because?.......

Pathetic, 2 October 2002
Author: pozest from Ontario, Canada

I love horror movies, but I have to say that this movie was terrible. I'm surprised I even made it through the movie. Nothing about it was remotely scary and the kill scenes and gore were pathetic. Bad acting, crappy plot, no gore, and terrible fx make this horror flick not worth watching.

Why go to Romania to make a bad movie?, 8 June 2001
Author: DevastationBob-3 from geosynchronous orbit over Madagascar

Yeah, this was bad...but then again, straight to video Full Moon movies usually are, so this should be no surprise to any foolish enough to rent it.

The thing that got me, however, was the "Making of" segment at the end of the flick. It was filmed in Romania? The entire thing is interior shots that could have easily been reproduced in a storage rental facility...(which would have been much more in line with the apparent budget of this tape) Why go to Romania? It makes no sense. The costumes could have been bought out of the clearance bin of any area K-Mart the day after Halloween...yet they fly the whole crew to Romania??? Now I know why that region is so troubled...

(cough) but seriously folks...mocking a movie such as this is way too easy...like stealing candy from a baby doped up on morphine. It's bad, granted, but when you spend six bucks and Romanian airfare...what can one expect? So...if you're checking IMDB to see if it's worth renting...no, of course it isn't. What's wrong with you? I've seen episodes of Teletubbies scarier than this. Peace.

2 Hours Of My Life Wasted..., 7 October 2002
Author: Josh Brunken (Brunken7) from USA

I just saw this on Scifi Channel a while back and I was bored.<p>

This film didnt scare me or frighten me and I am someone who has been scared by Child's Play and Phantasm.<p>

Not a movie to see in my opinion if you want a good scare and not a movie anyone who did this film should be bragging about on their resumes.

Worst Movie Ever, 11 February 2001

Author: Bizzy39 (Bizzy39@aol.com) from Mass, USA

This is by far the worst movie I have ever seen. Bad cinematography, bad acting, bad make-up. Worst of all was the story line, that wasn't there! Maybe if the movie had more of a budget it may have been a success. It definitely needed to be re-written at least one more time to get a single story line that you could follow and understand. Go find it and see for yourself!

Awesomely bad... o.o, 17 December 2005

Author: crestfallenimmortal from Howell, Michigan

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

AHAHA... I rented this movie back when I was in 8th grade and having a movie night with a friend. We were like "oo, this sounds really scary!" So we watched it, and laughed our butts off the whole way through. In all honest, the only thing I remember from the movie is "oo, zombie sex!" Well, that, and the acting was not that great. I think this would be a good movie to watch if you're stoned, drunk, or both. Maybe not event then. I don't know. I'm notorious for liking bad movies, and even I didn't like it. That should say something. This movie is so not memorable, that I can't even think of ten lines to write about it. I seem to remember the cheesy graphics though. Oh, I also remember thinking that the girl who ends up being the zombie for the "zombie sex" was pretty hot.
