There's
a quiet night at a sleazy bar in the
middle of a deserted area but suddenly a
guy crashes into the bar and warns the
people about these creatures that eat
people alive.
He suddenly gets eaten and the people
there are being eaten one by one so they
try to trap themselves in to keep safe
and find a way to kill off these
creatures with dynamite and shotguns but
the creatures slowly find theuir way in
by tearing at the roof and walls of the
bar.
I will give the
film credit for it's descent budget, good
performances and great horror effects but
other than that I found the flick to be a
total Evil Dead 2 ripoff
and the story doesnt really go anywhere.
At first it looks like the film is going
to be a comedy when you see the beginning
of it as the camera shows a close up on
each actor and describing who they are as
there are comedic explanations of them
each.
But then it gets serious more and more
when the monsters attack.
The acting is
terrifically performed as it's nice to
see Clu Gulager working again as
he played a great bartender.
Also another actor that's great to see
again is b-film actor Duane Whittaker
as he very much stands out as a sleazy
cowboy and found him the best actor out
of them all.
Plenty of horror
violence and very well done with the
effects used in it.
We have some heads chomped off
Face torn off
Leg chomped off
Plenty of bloodbaths
People being eaten alive
Monsters being slaughtered
John Gulager
directs the film at a good pace as he
makes the monsters attacking scenes very
fast as you wonder what is going on?
His work with the actors
are too well done. He makes their
performances comedic and intense at the
same time.
Stephen Edwards
and Tom Erba makes the music in
this film sound fantastic and adventurous
plus grungy too.
We also have an awesome
soundtrack too by some stompin music
groups
Hero:
Listen to me. A storm o'hell's coming
down on this place any second. I don't
know what they are, I don't know where
they came from. All I do know is that
these fuckers are fast, nasty, and
hungry... and there's four of 'em. They
got claws like Ginsu knives and more
teeth than a chainsaw. They're comin'...
right now. So we gotta lock this bar
down. That means doors, windows, drains,
and zippers, and we gotta do it now. You!
Get a phone, call the cops, National
Guard, townies, anybody who kicks ass,
and get 'em out here. Any questions?
Bartender: Yeah. Who the hell are
you?
Hero: I'm the guy that's gonna
save your ass.
[a monster immediately reaches through
the window and kills him]
Coach:
Oh dear.
Honey Pie: What? What's he doing?
Bozo: They're humping!
Beer Guy: Aw man! The monsters are
doing it doggy style.
Hot Wheels: Monster sex.
Honey
Pie: [Notices Bozo and Hot Wheels
have been watching her undress, wash
blood off] Act like you've had some.
Bozo: Oh, I've had some, baby.
Hot Wheels: [voice cracking]
I haven't.
Coach:
[Both peering outside through secret
hatch door in the dark basement] You
know, you and I have a lot of
similarities. Strong. Resolute...
Heroine: You need to be quiet.
Coach: I'm sorry. I talk when I'm
nervous.
Heroine: Quiet.
Coach: It's just, it's been a
while since someone's been horribly
killed, and it seems like an opportune
time for someone to be... well... offed.
Heroine: What did I say? Shh.
Coach: Sorry. I'm done now.
Coach: [Hoisting himself out
the hatch door] Great men will tell
of my bravery.
