Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Sheriff Duncan (Joe Estervez) sends two of his deputies to investigate the recent rash of murdered teens, while another deputy Charlie, is more interested in his brother who might've been slain by the same murderIf not for the stilted dialog, the disjointed storyline, or the atrocious delivery (the female detective being the worst offender here) and if the three bigger stars got more screen time (Z'dar and especially Linnea are barely much more than cameos) this would've been a pretty watchable film.Eye Candy: Holly Ilyne Sari gets topless and Linnea Quigley shows T&A briefly, because if she were in any film not showing skin it would be borderline sacrilege at this point.
Someone below said that this film insults real rubbish. That line is funnier & more interesting than anything that appears on screen in this unending and unendurable "movie." There is a lot of people on screen coming and going and saying stuff but no one does or says anything interesting and you never even know who the hero is supposed to be until the end of the movie when there are only two characters left on screen. I guess that's the writer/director's way of telling you who you were supposed to be rooting for all along. I could tell you everything that happens from start to finish (murder, red herrings, late-entering characters trying to add some twists, and a limp cop who would be better cast as Ichabod Crane instead of a policeman) and it couldn't spoil the story for you because you could never enjoy it in the first place. I don't think any of the actors who's name you might recognize have done a major film since this one. Perhaps Rockville slayed their careers. The actors you've never heard of before you will never hear from again. The shame of it all is that it looks like they threw a lot of money on the screen, production values are high. The problems are many: bad direction, bad self indulgent impenetrable story, bad acting, poor sound, and a very bad quality DVD release.
I sat watching this and I was drifting off into dreamland so many times. I mean, what's the point of this movie? There's nothing even remotely interesting about the story or the technique. It just goes from one scene to the next trying to be interesting but really just adding confusing elements that don't matter at all in the end. And the ending just shoots outta left field. But back to my first point. I was watching and slipping in and out of sleep and I thought I was dreaming when people were talking and it was so outta synch that I was expecting Godzilla to show up and just stomp on the stupid deputy and put an end to my misery. To my disappointment, the Big Fella never showed up. Robert Zdar and Joe Estevez are a guys you will remember seeing from lots of videos in the 1980s. They were pretty cool in Vivian Schilling's vanity piece "Soultaker" but they have no chemistry at all here. Maybe it was just bad direction but Zdar looks like he doesn't care much and he's really in sad physical shape (my prayers for him). Estevez tries his best like a pro but the weight of the silly story is too much for his shoulders. Linnea Quigley is badly miscast as a harridan and you really start to remember how far removed she is from some of her quality roles in the 1980's/90's too.What I really want to know is if anyone ever saw this movie in a movie theater? Was it so badly synched then too?? I cannot believe that a studio would put out a film so bad technically. Maybe the technicians fell asleep and didn't notice that the sound went off. But even with such unimportant films like this, studios should pay more attention when making the DVDs. It's not fair to the indie filmmakers who try so hard and then get their films treated like so much dust on the floor. The end result is going to reflect badly on the guys who made the film. OK, it's not like the film was going to be good if the sound was properly synched up but it could have avoided being an unintentional comedy. They turned a snoozefest into a laff fest.
Thought the film was OK. Z'Dar as always makes a silk purse out of a sows ear. If he wasn't in this flick I'd have given it maybe an 8/10. The amount of films this man has rescued is staggering. He was great as ass-face in Tyrone, a bad film lifted by him Even when his coasting like in Guns of El Chupacabra he lifts the film. incidentally his name in that, Z-Man Lord Invader is one of the all time great cinema monikers. I don't want to sound like I like everything that Z'Dar has been in. Frogtown 2 was nowhere near as good the original, he was partly to blame for this sadly. I also have too say his big break, sadly headlining a well respected horror franchise doesn't seem top count, but thats another issue. His big break in the brat pack mafia Mobsters. Well the film was such a stinker that all those involved suffered some career damage, sadly as the lowly goon Robert was bound to suffer more than most. Real shame.
