Demon Slaughter (2004)

- written October 2006

Summary: Jimmy is a hitman with a conscience…or better said…just is sick of risking his own life. So today he’s gonna decide to end his career and run to something new…freedom. But today isn’t his lucky day. Because once he gets to his hiding place, all new sets of horrors await him and they’re much scarier than the mob!           Overall: You know what the intent is watching this film. It’s trying to show a bad guy, wanting to be slightly good but finding his bad day getting worse. I was willing to overlook at bad makeup and cheap effects, because frankly it’s a low-budget film. I’ve been getting too immune to cheesy effects because, it’s about the attempt they make. They’re trying hard with limited budgets. Well, I thought they were. With all the effects thrown in for gunfire, zombies, etc. what still gets me is why the bad guys can fire off 2 Uzi’s and countless rounds and all the computer-generated effects that come with it but have absolutely no sound effects for bullets hitting anything!!! As far as we know the bad guys shot a ton and couldn’t hit water if they fell out of a boat. It’s not that the gunfire effects were silly or cheesy for me as the complete lack of following up with proper realistic actions, that bugged me. So it was a nice attempt…had some flaws…but nothing stands out as needing to be rented or watched.           Comparison: Pulp Fiction meets Night of the Living Dead
