Did you people see the same film I saw?
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Although it may not be Full Moon Features best, I do find there to be a interesting plot to the whole mix. Keep in mind people that it is a B movie, so what do you really expect, Academy Award nominations? Yes, I do believe the film was rather short, and some scenes did not need to be so long. But it is entertaining to see Eric Roberts just not give a crap about his acting in this movie, as if he is above all others.If you like B movies, nudity, weird story plots, and Eric Roberts, then this is a must see.Full Moon Features is known for their outrageous, low budget movies, I don't think they are going down the drain, I just think this wasn't one of their best. I am still a die-hard fan, and I don't completely discredit this movie. Just have a few beers, relax, and enjoy.
As someone who actually likes "so bad they're good" B grade horror flicks, I thought that a movie titled "The Dead want women" would definitely fall into this category. I was disappointed that it fails both as a "horror" movie and as a "so bad it's good" B comedy. From what I can see, the director seemed to want to make an authentic scary horror movie. Unfortunately, neither the script nor the limited acting skills of the cast allow for a serious movie. OTOH, the film contains none of the campiness or self-referential parody of a fun "B" flick. Even the makeup effects on the "undead" are simply unbelievable and quite cheesy looking.The only things saving this movie from a "1/10" rating is the lighting, the very pretty eye-candy (especially former soap opera star Jessica Morris who is gorgeous) and a not bad soundtrack. Unfortunately, this wasn't enough to keep my interest. Avoid.
The plot is that back in the 1920's, a silent film star has wild parties in her basement with actors who are bad clichés of 1920's film characters. When she discovers her film career is over, she kills her friends and herself. It takes about 20 minutes of the film to establish all of this.So flash forward to the present day, where amazingly, this house has sat vacant for 80 years, with all furnishings intact. And two hot babe Realtors are cleaning it up because a customer is about to visit, because apparently, they couldn't afford to pay a cleaning service.The ghosts are kind of interesting. They have a character called "Tubby Fitzgerald" who comes off like a bad impersonation of Curly Howard, even though he was sort of based on Fatty Arbuckle. I think the writer spent six minutes thinking of a name for this character.Not half as sad as Eric Roberts... But damn, every time I seem to encounter poor Eric writing a review, the poor guy is somehow losing a wrestling match with dignity. he stands out here in being able to act, compared to his co-stars.Really, a movie set in the 1920's would have been a lot more interesting than the one they made.
i had the "privilege" of watching this last night,and boy, how i regret it..my conclusion is simple:on a mental level, u can't do much worse if you're trying to hurt yourself. i don't expect Forrest Gump quality,but common, they should at least make this digestible. not only they had zombies/undead "acting" in this so called movie, but apparently one of them even wrote the script. sure, there is some eye candy here and there,from female nudity, but that just doesn't justify the time you spend watching this.leave your brain out of the movie theater if u insist watching this-can't give more than 1/10
