★★☆☆☆ You're in trouble when a film champions Mr. Highlander himself, Christopher Lambert, as its 'star'. Metamorphosis (2007), by Hungarian director Jeno Hodi (responsible for such gems as Guns and Lipstick [1995]) and co-starring virtual unknowns Corey Sevier, Irena A. Hoffman, Jeniffer Higham and Charlie Hollway, is a straight-to-dvd release that is unlikely to last as long as the centuries-old bloodsucker at the centre of its story.

Metamorphosis DVD ArtDirector: Jeno Hodi.
Writers: Tibor Fonyodi, Allan Katz and Jeno Hodi.
The Countess Elizabeth Bathory is a person of such infamy that even today her misdeeds are told in cinema and story. Bathory bathed in pheasants blood and is likely the most deadly serial killers of all time, with up to 600 deaths attributed to her name. Her exploits have been documented in at least a dozen films, with Metamorphosis one of the most recent (Moira). An interesting subject does not always transition to cinema, however. A review at the website Moira places Metamorphosis on the site's five worst films from 2007 and this review will not attempt to sway this objective and accurate critique of the film. To release on DVD August 24th, through Mti Home Video, Metamorphosis is dreary, uninspiring and there really is nothing here that has not been tried before.
Metamorphosis begins with three Americans travelling through Hungary,...

Back in April we brought word of an insane sounding project from director Jenö Hodi (American Kickboxer 2, Metamorphosis) called Endgame, which will combine the awesome artistic vision of Luis Royo with high octane, Hong Kong style action.
The plot involves a young mathematician who dies in a car crash and then finds himself a pawn in a cosmic game of chess among Greek Gods. But now, we've learned that the film will also incorporate a heavy section of Pa. Check it out, here's the latest synopsis for the film:
From a post-apocalyptic New York, to modern day Death Valley to the underworld of Greek mythology, a game has been played down through the centuries. This is Endgame, where fearless heroes and heroines are pitted against the demon armies of Hades.
Should be pretty cool. I'm having visions of Tony Randel's Fist of the Northstar.

Wow, okay... nothing I can say about this project can beat out what we're being told about it from the production company, Moonstone Entertainment, so without further stalling here it is:
"Inspired by the vision of the greatest master of science-fiction imagery, Luis Royo, comes a haunting visual extravaganza that will take you to a world never seen before. EndGame combines high impact, "Hong Kong" style action with classic Greek mythology."
Here's the detailed plot synopsis:
After a fatal car crash, a young American mathematician finds himself among other departed souls as a chess piece in the ultimate game of the Greek gods. In this sinister region of the Underworld, he falls in love with a gorgeous Amazon warrior who wielded her sword centuries ago.
Pitted against Hades, the King of the Underworld, the young lovers must fight a nightmarish array of creatures and demons. The stakes of the game...
