Movie Reviews of The Dark Power
Movie Review: Lesson 1 : An old guy and his whip=Death to Zombies
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this movie for 3 dollars and I was more than satified. You have a big fat guy with a gastrointestinal problem, a fat kid who steals trucks, an old guy using a whip to kill zombies, and a couple of inadvertant crotch shots of a hot chick. What more do you want? Oh yeah, and the zombies look pretty damn funny. If you looked up B movie in the dictionary you would see: The Dark Power.Movie Review: LASH!
Summary: 4 Stars
If you're into following the acting careers of never was-s, then follow that of Lash La Rue. His only claim to fame is the whip. His acting sucks, and in this it appears he's had a stroke, which is kind of funny. I recommend this piece of garbage to anyone who likes movies with no redeeming value.Movie Review: Worth seeing once, but pretty bad
Summary: 3 Stars
The cheese factor on this is pretty high. It looks like something a film major could have made with a group of friends over a long weekend. It's sort of embarrassing when Lash Larue, a former "star" of the silver screen, comes to the rescue of this group of pathetic 'tards towards the end of the film. Without him, it probably wouldn't be worth seeing though. He's got some mighty fine whippin' skillz! I believe there's only one scene of nudity, and it's nothing to write home about, so don't buy it for that. There's a pretty surprising racist overtone throughout the film too, so just be prepared for a little bit of that if you check it out.Movie Review: The Dark Flower
Summary: 2 Stars
Greetings. This is the official review for The Dark Power, which may just as well have been titled The Dark Flower, seeing as how ridiculous it is, it should warrant a more ridiculous title.
I should warn you, reader, that this is not exactly a B movie. Rather, more like C, or D, if those classifications exist.
The movie has to do with a hill somewhere in the southeastern US, near a college, apparently, that was once a ritual site for ancient Toltec Native American priests. An old Indian acquires the property for the purpose of guarding the local residents in sealing off the dark power that lurks beneath the ground. However, his death leads to the breaking of the protective seals placed around the hill. A group of college girls decide to turn the late Native's residence into a sorority house, but some guys decide it should be a fraternity as well. The ancient priests rise and set out to create havoc.
And it would have been pretty good, too, if the inane Director had been more consistent in his approach as to how the undead Priests should behave and look.
The bottom line is, whoever made this movie sucks!
I can picture their film/video instructor seeing this and shaking his head going, "I have failed!" and probably shooting himself in the head. The word 'campy' is too generous here. You will never, ever, be scared of these zombies, or believe for one second that they are Toltec Priests. They look nothing like the part, and what's worse, they never for one second act the part. The entire movie, up to the point of the undead rising, was actually not too bad, but once the mayhem starts, you might as well consider the movie finished, because there's really no reward in watching the last half hour, and the wrap-up is extremely brief before the credits roll.
Is it fun? Kinda. Is it worth 5 dollars? No. Is it worth 3 dollars? Maybe. Is it worth watching? Not really... There are just much better movies out there for this kind of thing. The most I can say is that it was an experience. I'll give it that.
Movie Review: Suzie Martin
Summary: 2 Stars
Decided to buy this at a bargain bin price. Obviously low budget with very cheesy makeup for the "zombies". The best part of the movie, I must say, is young, very sexy Suzie Martin...too bad she did not act in future movies; she could have been a screem queen.
