I wasn't very optimistic going into this. Neil Jones directed the dreadful THE REVEREND, produced the truly abysmal ZOMBIE KING. Natalie Celino starred in the laughable UMBRAGE and Victoria Broom starred in the dire ZOMBIE WOMEN OF Satan.
THe movie begins well enough. It is at least technically competent, unlike Jones' last cheap effort ZOMBIE KING which looked like it was filmed on a camcorder.
The signs that the movie will disappoint are clear from early on. The score denotes suspense when nothing is happening, merely a car driving through the countryside. Victoria Broom's habit of laughing after every "amusing " line is irritating and when the other girls tell her to shut up I knew how they felt.
THe lead actress Marcia DaValez is striking looking with her peroxide cropped hair and eurasian looks. She has an accent that is, at times, impenetrable.
Victoria Broom plays the "saucy" one. Her character is irritating, which is not her fault, and unconvincingly acted , which is.
Natalie Celino was utterly wooden in UMBRAGE but gives a decent performance here, so she has either taken acting lessons in the meantime or the director of UMBRAGE failed to get a performance out of her.
Craig Fairbrass stars in a lot of these zero budget efforts but seldom seems to acknowledge or promote them.
The script is unsatisfying and makes little sense and there is little suspense or horror to be found.
I wouldn't bother.
