Two
people named Todd Harling (Brandon
Largent) and Courtney (Laura Mazur) hears
about a curse of a deserted town named
Acheron which is not listed on a map and
is covered by a strange mist.
They try to do some researching on the
town but locals there tries to ward them
off telling them to go back to where they
came from as they don't want to explore
the deserted town.
When they do arrive there Courtney
suddenly behaves very strangely and then
acts deadly too.
Todd discovers that his friends who are
making a film there are being terrorised
by some of their friends who bevcome
posessed as well as soldiers who also are
turning into posessed zombies as well as
being attacked by flesh eating
seductresses.
The town is apparently damned and won't
let any of these people leave.
I had a feeling I
was looking for a bad movie when I rented
this but wanted to give this one a shot
as the DVD cover of it looked amusing.
The story was extremely rushed and it
didn't make any sense whatsoever plus the
film had a terrible ending and nothing
was solved either.
Skip this one and watch something like
Evil Dead or Demon Wind for
that matter.
The acting is
quite good and much better than the story
itself. We have a nice performance by Brandon
Largent showing a no bullshit
attitude to his character.
Laura Mazur does well at being
seductive and deadly when she is posessed
and is great at being a tough bitch.
Kathryn Carner is perfect when
she trips out arriving at the town and
realising that it's posessed.
So the acting is what saves this film
from bombing.
There's a faceless
corpse.
Flesh is bitten off a neck by a soldier
by two evil seductresses
A fist is punched through a soldiers
chest but it looks so phony
Tom Lewis really
rushes his work on this film like the
story itself which he wriote along with
almost everything else he did for this
film
However he coached supporting actor Richard
Kinsey very well as a demonic
preacher telling the tale of the city to
the people trapped there.
Plus almost the beginning of the story he
directed the scene perfectly with Brandon
Largent going in the diner and two
redneck bikers threatening him when he
asks the way to the city as it leaves you
an impression that there's going to be a
rumble.
Carlos
Vivas composes very little music in
this film and it's not even noticeable.
We have a heavy stompin tune by a group
called Noucynic during the
closing credits with their song
"Unstable"
