Rating:

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.
