ZOMBIE CULT MASSACRE Marvin (Michael Botouchis), a lapsed Baptist who has serious childhood flashback traumas, and his angry mocking girlfriend, Sally (Lani Ford) are attacked by NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD style cannibal zombies while driving to his hometown. They're rescued and taken in by members of the New Kingdom cult, led by the crazed Jeffrey (Bob Elkins, who was in COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER). Elkins is very impressive as he preaches (he must have had some real life experience), but not as convincing when he lip synchs a song ("I'm Evil"). Martin has impressive visions and freakouts, Jeffrey seduces his female followers, a mad doctor experiments on caged mutants, a bi-sexual demon (Losey) watches everything on a closed circuit TV, and bikers attack! Jeffrey reminds me of Timothy Carey in WORLD'S GREATEST SINNER, the songs sound kinda like The Gun Club, a female cult member gets naked in a hot tub, the bikers look authentic, and an animated flying demon appears. These are all good and entertaining things, but I could have done without so much extreme gore. The FX are by Jim Vanbebber of DEADBEAT AT DAWN fame. |
