I pretty much have to launch a mockbuster from
“The Asylum” at Starkwell and Lovelock from time to time just to keep them in
check, and make sure they don’t lose their perspective on what bad really
is and can be. The amazing thing is just HOW MANY
zombie movies “The Asylum” has been churning out lately. This one promises to stand right alongside
the others, in my garbage can, as soon as Starkwell and Lovelock decide that
they’ve had enough. If you watch all of
the previews on one of “The Asylum”s DVDs, you’ll be SHOCKED at just how many blockbusters
they manage to mock, sometimes within one movie. And is that the father from “Family Matters”?
[...]
[Young Abe Lincoln kills his zombie mother.]
Lovelock: Was that a zombie or the girl from “The Exorcist”?
Starkwell: I’m sure they don’t even know.
[...]
Only about two minutes in, we quickly realize that the
costumes, writing, acting, special effects, directing and EVERYTHING is
horrendously cheap and way beyond sub par. Maybe
even by “Asylum” standards.
[...]
Lovelock: They could have at least made the doctor guy have
SLIGHTLY less modern looking glasses.
Starkwell: Maybe try and not show the modern day gas meter on the side of that building either.
Lovelock: I never gave a damn 'bout the meter man, 'til i was the man who had to read the meters, man.
Starkwell: Maybe find actors that can grow an ACTUAL mustache
and not need to paint one on.
[...]
Seriously even the MUSIC is mocking ACTUAL songs. The movie trickles along as the president and
his band of merry men fight zombies and confederate soldiers and zombie
confederate soldiers. They meet two
girls with big honkin’ boobies and lots of make-up in an old farm house, and
they bunker down. Apaarently hooker number one is an old prostitute friend of Abe's.
[...]
Lovelock: Teddy Roosevelt kicks ass with that there shovel.
Starkwell: This movie really fucking sucks.
[...]
After one lame plot twist, most of the characters die,
and a bunch more lame looking zombie kills are shown and the film ends. I think it really reached the tipping point
into the purest of cinematic shit when Lincoln zip-lined away from an exploding building as it
exploded, and then emerged from the smoky ruins unharmed. Or at least, it was at that point that
Starkwell vomited.
