Very well executed
best movie i've ever seen.
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
LEGION OF THE DEAD www.theasylum.cc with Bruce Boxleitner and Zach Galligan Written & Directed by Paul Bales Having interviewed Paul Bales and seen this is on Theasylum Top Three DVD sellers, This critic was curious about LOTD !When you watch the "Making Of.." it gives away some of the secrets to how production came together, Theasylum has the second best BEHIND THE SCENES after Charles Band's FULL MOON . The cast is great ,Of course Boxleitner and Galligan one expect their best, But the lead villain is a Female Mummy- Claudia Lynx and she is perfect. Rhett Giles again turns in a journeyman effort, Except as a right arm to mummy henchman.Once you accept this is happening in US, Not Egypt then you enjoy all the mummies running around and unusual deaths.Paul Bales (look for our interview) is still writing and producing, But could direct again.
My friend is on a quest to watch all things Bruce Boxleitner, and I, being a good friend agreed to watch this with her. Words cannot ex press how poorly this was acted, produced, edited, and written. I understand all the no name actors in it, no shame on them for taking a paying gig. But shame on Bruce for sullying his good name! The worst part was the concept...spoiler alert! that the Egyptians had a trans-Atlantic trade route...to Southern California. I am hoping the writers were forced to change the location due to production costs, but there could have been some sort of compromise that didn't involve stupidity. Bottom line: NEVER RENT THIS MOVIE OR WATCH IT ON TV!!!
A real shame of a movie. Spiritless and full of clichés. What really got me angry was the inconsistency of the soldiers' ability to fight. They acted like powerless zombies when they fought the good guys, but pulled the backbone of some victims in one firm jerk! I mean, c'mon! It's the kind of movie you cannot watch even for laughs. Well, I did. And that only because I kept waiting for something to happen. It was so lame I could throw up. Even if you are a horror movies fan - trust me, this is an outrageous kitsch. It's the type of production that one does for money only, not because one has a real story or a genuinely artistic view to a story. It looks like five-year old kids playing in the backyard - although this remark may be offensive to the intellect of any five-year-old, or two-year-old for that matter! Omaldy.
I really do not like being harsh but this movie is awful! I mean sometimes I find at least one good thing to say about a movie but there nothing good to be said about this one. There is a a lot of senseless action in the movie that has no flow, people die needlessly and repeatedly, there is scary music when there is no need for it, importance is placed on certain roles and then they are removed from the movie by being killed off, and the action scenes involving the lead actress is like watching a Barbie doll trying to defend herself. Especially at the end when she plants the ankh in the neck of the woman! It really looks like she does not have the strength to hold the ankh let alone drive it through someone's neck. Also let's not forget how she evades the mummies at the motel. She can play an intellect in front of a camera but someone put this actress in a class that teaches how to act out action scenes. I usually keep a copy of all my movies but not of this one. I am deleting this one just like I deleted Gargoyles by Jim Wynorski.
