90 mins. Eric Forsberg U S A Horror http://www.phalanxmedia.com A young, pregnant woman, Anais is being held captive in a specialized hospital where her husband, Peter has a medical internship with his brilliant uncle. Peter's uncle, Dr. Gabriel Schreklich has secretly invented a serum that can bring the dead partially back to life putting them in a state of Leben-Tod, or life-death, where they are almost completely alive, almost. But he must perfect the formula; and for every successful experiment there are many 'failed' ones. One of the failures is the doctor's own wife and daughter, who died tragically one year earlier. The doctor keeps them hidden in a secret room and brings them living tissue to consume until he can cure them completely. Even in the face of such macabre acts, Peter insists that Anais must stay in her uncle's hospital for her own good. But Anais is afraid that the doctor intends on using her baby in his experiments. Then things go terribly wrong and before the doctor can cure them, his wife and daughter escape from their room. Soon other half dead patients join them, escaping from their basement prison and taking over the hospital. Even Peter and the Doctor are injected and transformed. Now the only way for Anais to save her unborn baby is to get one of the ghouls to help her to escape: and Peter is the perfect ghoul to do so. After a gory get-away Anais flees the hospital and peter burns it down. Only then does Anais realize the truth. |

This one might be quite awhile coming out. It was supposed to be released by The Asylum last month, but their website hasn't been updated in quite awhile and I think their latest film, Halloween Night, might not even be out yet. I suspect The Asylum might be in some financial trouble. I won't pronounce the demise of the company, but when it starts missing scheduled releases that's never a good sign. |

It looks like Night of the Dead is indeed out. You can probably find it at Hollywood Video and maybe Blockbuster as well. It looks like the folks at The Asylum need to get their PR act together. They didn't even have Night of the Dead listed on Fangoria's upcoming movie lists nor any other that I know of. And their website hasn't been updated in quite awhile. Looks like trouble none the less . . . |

Well, I watched Night of the Dead, and I have to say that The Asylum lives down to it's usual quality here. The special effects, make-up and gore aren't that bad. But the acting is utterly wretched. The guy that plays the mad scientist sounds like an escapee from a badly dubbed German movie. The plot makes no sense to me. I was never really clear on the motivations of many of the characters. It sure as hell isn't better than Re-Animator, and Eric Forsberg definitely needs some more work to be a Master of Horror. Another piece of dreck . . . |
