I should have posted this sooner, but I've been busy and forgetful at the same time - not a good combination. Actually, the forgetfulness probably explains why I've been busy...
Simon purchased Undead last weekend, for the huge sum of £3.97. It's a straight-to-dvd release, that should have gone to Hollywood, maybe even further.
This week's quote of the week has been taken from the film, so you know it must be good.
I wanted to put the following quote on, but it would take up a huge whack of the sidebar column:
"One day your out on your boat and you get attacked by zombie fish, they munch at your face, like you're the main course at an all you can eat crazy country boy buffet. You walk away, tell the town your story; they think your mad. Everyone thinks your mad, you think I'm mad. It happens again, this time it's not zombie fish it's zombie Berkeley. But this time I'm prepared, I'm ready to fight whatever they can throw at me. Still i wasn't strong enough, the strongest ones are always the last ones left; if that's not me, it must be you. If that was the case you wouldn't have battled the undead and lived. You'd be the entree at a smorgasboard of brainfood."
The bold bit is fucking hilarious. This whole film is. It's a must see, and it beats Cheech and Chong, and the likes into a pulp.
To give you a quick outline of the plot - a mad Hill-billy Australian, named MARION has 3 sawn-off shotguns bolted together. He has been abducted in the past by aliens, and when they return to the planet he is there once again - this time saving the day. Although while he is saving the day, he is "having a turd day".
The plot is pretty shite, but the film is full of laughs. It was funded by a few hill-billys and it shows. Lots of gore and blood, which is always good.
Check out more at the IMDB here. A few memorable quotes can be seen here. And a bit of trivia can be read here.
Just thought I'd also point out something that Simon mentioned - which is on the trivia page. The post-production rendering was done on the directors' PCs at home, which explains the 9 month post-production time. It reminds me of the hours Adamskii had to spend rendering his animation on his amazing render-monkey.
I don't usually give films a rating, but this film receives 9 ********* stars, one for each month spent rendering on their (most likely) Pentium MMX's.
