Screaming Dead

wow, i picked this movie up for 50 cents and i payed to much. this movie is so badly made on 2 levels that i was burn by it on 2 levels. for people who like to see people die in gory ways, no luck, only the anti hero dies, thats it. and for people who want to make fun of a crappy flick, not for you, this movie takes its self way to seriously to be made fun of. the sfx are really bad, and the "jokes" that they try to pull off are not funny an stupid. please don't see this movie. oh, and it was put out by shock-o-Rama. thats just great. the same guys who put out psycho kick boxer gave the world this mistake of a movie. 1 out of 10

I liked the acting and the directing in this film, but, alas, the script left a lot to be desired. First of all, do you really think that Neal would have as much clout, considering the subject matter of his photographs? I have my doubts that they would end up in all those prestigous galleries, if they did, I'm sure that feminists would picket them or they might be shut down by the authorities for indecency (Can you imagine if he tried to show in Cincinatti, for example?). I would say that if Rogan got fired for telling off Neal that he could take his ex-boss to court and press charges against both of them. After all, I'm sure that even New Jersey must have laws against this type of "art." As it is, the acting, photography and the directing was quite well done, especially considering this being a low budget film, but the script left my suspension of disbelief hanging there.

Here and there you see Misty Mundae do a role where she can kind of act. Duck! was one of them... but I'm not sure how I want to review that yet. This was another. It's light on the S&M, it's light on the scares... but that doesn't matter because you are watching it for bad acting, *, cheap special effects, and occasional humor. It's unfortunately a little light on humor, but it's still heavy on camp so you can't hold that against it. But the shocking thing here is that it manages to build actual mood and tension here and there and not entirely rely on comedy, camp, and *. Occasionally you see actual talent shine through and that is... shocking for a movie like this isn't it? So, ten out of ten stars because here and there the film makers actually managed to show the audience that they are talented.

SCREAMING DEAD is the story of a crazed photographer and his unsuspecting female subjects (aka: victims). Filmed in an abandoned asylum, it has plenty of creepy atmosphere and dark places, including a hidden torture chamber. Is it a masterwork of brilliant filmmaking? Um, no. However, it's fairly entertaining in its own schlock-tastic way. Plus, it has Misty Mundae in a semi-serious role, and a semi-scary ghoul at the end. Recommended for followers of Director Brett Piper...

A cult photographer shoots three models in a haunted asylum. That's about it. I made it sound better than it was. Boring "B" movie. Misty does not pontificate on matters of religion or government. Nudity (Misty Mundae, C.J. DiMarsico)

This is an ultra low budget indie horror film, refreshingly old fashioned and well made for its kind. Some of the settings were atmospheric and the acting was pretty good (although the main villain is kind of stiff he's suitably despicable). I rather enjoyed the leisurely pacing, although it gets more frantic (and goofier) in the last fifteen minutes. The girls were cute and charming and capably acted. But the most unusual aspect of this film is that it's a feminist statement in disguise! It's all about how scum bag "artistes" manipulate gullible young women by holding the lure of fame and fortune over their empty little heads. I was pretty surprised to see this kind of social comment in a cheap indie horror movie --- although that didn't stop the director from showing enough young female skin to keep the fans happy!
