Movie Reviews of Awaken the Dead
Movie Review: Priesterine
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was a freakin' riot.. The acting was bad, the story was suppose to be intricate, but it reeked of amateur/low budget sceenplay writing. The zombies were a mix of okay looking ones and cheeseball.. So why give this move five stars you may ask? Because it was funny as hell.. The main chatacter was a priest with a shady past, and the guy who plays him looks like a Hugh Jackman reject. In fact, this priest character is very much portrayed as a Wolverine type of guy.. He's a good guy now, but had a dark past and was an assassin.. He snarls like Jackman when he finally becomes all kick axe in the movie and is even refered to as a killing machine..lol.. It was like Priesterine, meets an angry prositute, meets a Jehovah's Witness, meets the cheeseball living dead, meets Days Of Our Lives. The whole movie just had a soap opera feel to it, and someohow remined me of a Days Of Our Lives episode as well. In fact, I could see the guy who played the Priest gracing the set of Days quite nicely.. The story does not come together well at all.. it's full of holes, crappy acting, grainy quality filming and Wolverine rip offs.. My head spins to think how some reviews said this was a good story and the characters seemed real, because neither was true in my book.. And the zombie action was not that great and not that much at times.. So again, why five stars???? Because I went to bed laughing and woke up the same way, with hysterical scenes of this movie playing through my head. I also walked away from this flick with a few good cheesey lines to say to family memebers and friends.. This is the kind of movie that you watch with other people and have your own Mystery Science Theatre moments.. It's good for nothing else, believe me.. Not even priesterine could save the day on this one... But it gets a fiver for being a real gas!!!!!!
