Snuffin Zombies (2006)

- written January 2009

Summary: 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.           Overall: Few things catch my attention more than a very annoying main character. As the film starts off, I’m already disliking Frank. And each minute that goes by doesn’t get any better. Much of the time, this can be pretty much result in an awful time for me and a terrible review for the creator of such a film. But you know what, as the film kept going…I was getting intrigued. Sure the character stayed just as annoying but the writing sometimes was just so interesting with so many funny and nonsensical quips, It kept my attention. So what we have here in a nice low budget film by Karl Bennaci. Sure it tends to be a bit long and a few scenes are much longer than they needed to be. But I think the goal of any filmmaker should be a film that gets people to want to watch it. Sure, it may not appeal to anyone but you need something to get your intended core audience to watch it. And I think our character, Frank, helps do that. It’s just interesting enough to make you want to know what’s gonna keep happening. Go get this!           Comparison: 8MM meets Gangs of the Dead
