Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
Ally_Cat29 This movie was possibly the worst movie I have seen so far. Even in the last 10 minutes of the movie, I found myself wondering who certain random characters were, and what the hell was going on. The acting was less than mediocre, and what about the plot you may ask? What plot?? The humor was certainly not funny. I found myself getting irritated as the movie constantly insulted my intelligence in the form of crap comedy and poor dialogue.I wish I could say there was some sort of redeeming feature in this film...but there isn't. That's 90 minutes of my life that I will never be able to get back again, and $5 from the video store that I could have spent on a film that was entertaining. If I could give it 0/10 I would. Don't even think about seeing this movie.
Claudio Carvalho Yesterday I bought this used VHS in a rental without any previous reference first because I am a great fan of horror movies. The very beautiful art of the cover also attracted me. Last but not the least, the reasonable price convinced me to buy it. When I arrived home and saw that Matthias Hues was the lead 'actor', I recognized that I had not made a good deal and I surely believed that this flick would not be good. Indeed it is worse than that, it is a junk! The storyline is horribly plagiarized from 'From Dusk Till Dawn' and is also divided in two parts: the first one tells the 'saga' of two morons hitchhiking and being kidnapped by a psychotic killer. The second one is about a group of persons, including the two morons, trapped in a bar, surrounded by the legion of the dead leaded by Togaio. I believe this flick was supposed to be funny, but it is not. The viewer can only laugh how imbecile a producer can be sponsoring such a crap. My vote is two.Title (Brazil): 'Legião dos Mortos' ('Legion of the Dead')
jerronspencer 'Arms spread wide, I laugh at you thusly...hah, hah, hah!' This film was decently shot, likely on Super 16mm or 35mm. That is its one strong point. Things really go down hill from there. ****SPOILER****Two friends are held hostage by a drooling, crazy dude who wants to kill them. They are saved by the sudden arrival of a cousin, who crashes a truck into the maniac. This event somehow ties into the friends being caught up in the middle of a demon recruiting action. And let's not forget the demon girl, who just wants to wait tables and be left alone. Wanted to be PULP FICTION meets BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER...but it was not. A bad script and awful dialogue could not be saved by fair acting. This movie was horrible in a way that only pseudo-art house German crap can be. Really.
nephilimbabe I commonly judge a DVD by it's cover, but after watching this flick, I think I'll be more inclined to start renting before purchasing!I really couldn't suss the point of this film. There's no really story, certainly no explanation and definitely no point.Two chaps being kidnapped by some psycho, two other brothers recruiting people to a non-existent "Legion of The Dead" working for the devil (who happens to be the alien drug dealer in Dolph Lundgron's "Dark Angel" by the way) and some beautiful girl who happens to turn herself into a demon whenever she needs to. Too many plots and not enough explanation as to why.My suggestion is too avoid the plague, unless you've drunken way too much and can't focus.
