Movie Review: Killing a Legacy... "B" Movie star makes an "Z" Flick.
Summary: 1 Stars
I went online and learned that Lash LaRue regreted his involvement in this horribly unwatchable movie. Its obvious the years of drinking had taken their toll on Lash. His speech was slurred and his face shows the years of neglect. I really loved watching him as a child, in those old B movie westerns, but truly felt sorry that he had to stoop so low to being involved in this sad joke. There are better home productions than this one on U-Tube. The writing and directing are almost nonexistent and the acting is even worse. The staged highlight of this film is a girl running around half dressed and another one naked in the tub. These cheesy scenes serve no purpose in telling the story or improving the movie. While the whole idea for the story is not the worst I've ever seen, most of the scenes are clunky and awkward. A good writer could have helped but this director would not have messed any story. The camera work is bush league.
At the begining of the show Lash saves a young boy from some dogs chasing him and doesn't even say a word to him when he goes over to help him up. Your expecting him to say, how are you or are you hurt but the scene just falls flat and moves to the next one. By the time the monsters arrive you may get more chuckles watching your kids in a home movie. The fear factor is a minus 10 if you can bear to keep watching the bad acting. It appears that the director just gather up everyone in this small town and put them in the show. I couldn't even give this movie one star but would give it a few negative stars if it were possible. If you buy this you might as well put a match to your money and throw it out the window. It would be more entertaining than realizing you had just wasted an hour and half of your life that you will never get back. It may even reduce your life span!!!
Movie Review: The "Dark Power" would be the ability to force someone to watch this movie
Summary: 1 Stars
I'd much prefer to offer zero stars to this movie, but Amazon did not offer me that option. Much to my dismay, Amazon did allow someone to praise this abomination with a positive review, nearly a rave. While I realize that my taste may differ radically from that of another movie-goer, I would not wish witnessing this movie upon my worst enemy.
This weakly premised toltec spirit plot yielded lame villains, lame heroes, terrible make-up, no "special" effects, and a one attractive work-out-addict chick.
The movie's claim to fame, the casting of Lash LaRue, was yet an additional painful addition. It was as if someone found a washed out drunk at a biker bar (no offense to Harley enthusiasts), threw a whip in his hand and said "go nuts"--and he did, with no attention to content, directive or acting. But then, he was tied for worst actor in the film...with every other actor involved.
It's not that this movie was bad. It's that it was so bad that it made me want to take the chopsticks (with which I was eating while suffering through this film), jam them in my eyes, swirl them all around, and force them through to my brain to end the suffering.
I will offer one olive branch to those who may disagree with me. I am someone who knows that, when watching B-movies, one should surround himself with friends and adult beverages. I did not do this (a rookie mistake for which I would normally scold others) and, as a result, I side-armed this dvd like a discus off my balcony into Tampa Bay. To my credit, however, normally I can identify those which would be good drinking movies under any circumstances and there are simply too many other options to consider Dark Power. (I guess I just stomped on that olive branch--sorry)
Movie Review: SNORE FEST
Summary: 1 Stars
There have been low budget movies in the past that I've enjoyed,this is not one.The scenes with Lash LaRue and his whip made for some laughs,especially considering he had to been about 80 years old at least,but that was it for me.The makeup and effects consisted of some cheap masks and makeup bought at a halloween store.Boring and stupid in a really awful and lame kinda way.I couldn't bring myself to watch past the first 25 minutes,so I fast fowarded to the last 5 minutes to get it over with.Stay away from this Z grade boring mess.I'm not going to bore you any longer with details of this piece of poops storyline and plot.Your better off spending your 5 bucks on stocking up on toilet paper.
