Review by David Rupp
Life sucks for super-loser Frank Wilkens: no job, no girl, and he just spent the remainder of his inheritance on booze. Now broke, he and his only friend, a kindhearted, mentally challenged dunce named Ralphie, are lured into the world of snuff films. The deal: kill ten people on film and receive three million dollars. Ready to do anything for cash, Frank agrees to the pact and goes on a killing spree that can only be described as awesome, killing his ex-boss among others. But there's one problem: the dead have been resurrected, and they only have two things on their mind: revenge and human flesh.
Written & directed by: Karl Benacci. Satrring: Karl Benacci, Joseph Byrd, Don Wilson, Robert Muye, Matthew Wilson, Cathi “GG” Mitchell, Amy Eisert & Michelle Panuts
Snuffin' Zombies just happens to be one of those indy movies that has me torn on liking it or not. The acting is sub-par, some shots are washed out, sound either was not mastered or just plain old forgotten about. Yet it had some creative lensing and shot compositions. One thing I noticed is the actors inability to keep straight faces while performing, even the voodoo priestess chuckles at her own dance. This made me feel like I was wasting my time, if the people in the movie can't take it seriously how can I?
Other than that it was a fairly good story, fairly well shot. Bad monotonous acting and it all seemed rushed. I would like to see what this would have looked like with patience and retakes, mixing and some less sophmoric humor. I really want to see this do well based on the pros but judging by the cons I don't forsee it. 3/10
