In this modernized Re-Animator flick, a mortician
finds a way to bring back the dead... for an hour.
The zombies need one injection every hour to stay
"alive". As the mortician feels that society has
wronged him, he decides to let the zombies go on a
killing rampage. The only problem is, the bank is
closing down the funeral home to build a mall and
there seems to be no way to stop them... almost
anyway... desperate times call for desperate measures.
After having seen Rolfe Kanefsky's hilarious horror
flick "The Hazing" I just had to track down a copy
of his other new flick. After a lot of searching I
found myself a German release... I bought it, got
it in the mail and I looked at the back of the cover...
"german blablabla guter filme blabla" -slasherpool.com.
I thought to myself, well this was fun, I had been
quoted on the cover of a movie I had not even seen.
I decided not to let it bother me that much though
until I had seen the flick and then, if it would be
bad as hell, I'd give the German company a piece of
my mind. Luckily for them Corpses is a pretty good
movie. Far from as good as The Hazing, but still it
was rather entertaining... in a cheesy way.
Low budget zombie gore flicks rarely work and most of
the ones that I've seen have been absolutely abysmal,
Corpses however has that right charm to it which
makes it easier to enjoy this movie without feeling
that you're watching something that a couple of
friends threw together. By the way, I actually
didn't really understand the tagline at first but
when you've seen the movie, you realize that it's a
pretty clever one, "They've got some time to kill".
I thought that was pretty funny. Another thing
that made me smile was the fact that Tiffany Shepis
was in this. Now, I don't know about you but in
my eyes, when I see Tiffany Shepis in a horror
flick, I know it won't be absolutely dreadful as
she always glows up the screen. The entire cast is
rather good actually and we see a couple of familiar
faces along the way.
As I mentioned in the plot description, Corpses
feels a bit like a modern take on Re-Animator. It's
got glowy green serum, unfriendly zombies driven
by a mad... well, mortician, not doctor and there's
also loads of cheesy gore in here. Corpses is not
the best movie to ever get made but it's pretty
entertaining and only 80 minutes long so I'd
recommend this anytime to a zombie fan.
We get lots of cheesy gore, a girl rips her hands
through another girls chest, many dismembered
body parts and lots of fake guts.
Pretty basic stuff, good rock music, fair
background music, sounds like every other horror
movie I've seen with a few exceptions.
York Entertainment held onto this for ages before
they released it but now that it's out, check
it out. It's a pretty cool zombie flick with a
little humour in it. If you like movies like The
Re-Animator, this will be perfect for you. It
does however suffer from cheesiness.
