A
computer nerd named Max Kelp
(Josh Walitt) works on his
computer to find a way to
resurrect the dead with a machine
he made that he attaches to the
computer as his family works at a
funeral home for his science
project at school.
He doesn't get along with his
father Herman (Jeff Stroud) as he
wants his son to quit making
these creations plus he is
bullied by jocks at school.
Well Max finally found a way to
resurrect a corpse at the funeral
home as he puts his machine he
created and stored it to the
corpses head then he activates
his computer and his creation
comes to life.
He invites the girl of his dreams
named Sally Kates (Sondraya Rowe)
to his home but she freaks out
after he sees his creation.
Then something goes wrong as
Sally accidentally presses her
hands on the keyboard of Max's
computer and his creation kills
her.
Max suddenly goes mad and this
gives him an idea to seek revenge
on the people who tormented him
including his father but he goes
too far as his creation goes out
of control.

At
first the film looks interesting
when you asee it shot on a DV
budget as you would think to
yourself you can do the same
making a horror feature.
But the story and everything else
involved is a Frankenstein
meets Re-Animator ripoff
and it's extremely zany too when
it tries to be scary since
everything about the performances
are amateurish.
The acting is awful
as even Josh Walitt
looks way too old to play a
teenager and he could've been
more convincing too.
Richard Cowden isnt
convincingly scary at all as the
zombie machine monster. A circus
clown can do a scarier
performance than this.
There's a naked
corpse of a woman, breasts
exposed.
A head of both an
animal and a human corpse is cut
open to have a machine stored
There's a cut off foot of a dead
jock.
A fake looking decapitated head.
An arm is ripped off
Michael
Murphy is extremely corny with
his work on this film as he
doesn't know how to make a horror
film period.
However, he does show nice camera
shots of the funeral house as
well as Josh Plus an intense
dispute between Jeff Stroud
and Wallit's character about his
obsession with his newest
creation.
Walitt doing some evil
chant with candles surrounding
him which Murphy tires to make
look convincing but fails.
Other than that his work is the
pits.
Jason McKean composes
the music with his keyboard
playing and doesn't do too bad of
a job for what this no budgeter
required.
