REVIEW FOR 'STORM OF THE DEAD'
What a piece of CRAP! This movie should be called 'Sh*tstorm of the Dead! The only good thing about this movie was...well, there's actually 3 good things...1) the artwork on the dvd case, 2) the plotline sounded interesting, as there aren't a whole lot of "voodoo zombies" around nowadays, and 3) when it was over!! There are NO redeeming qualities in this movie whatsoever!
1) ACTING: the acting was so-so to say the least, and the stereotypical characters were disappointing. (wimpy guy, tough army chick, etc.)
2) ZOMBIES: wait...let me correct that...ZOMBIE. There is only ONE zombie in this movie and he doesn't appear until the 75 minute point in the movie! (and the movie is only 89 minutes long!) The zombie does a little bit of walking around and that's it. And the zombie looked nothing like the bloodthirsty hellion on the dvd case! A little bit of white face powder and presto! zombie!
3) SPECIAL EFFECTS: it would appear that the Halloween department at your local Wal-mart handled the special effects to this one. An occasional severed limbs pops up here and there, and the rest of the deaths consist of the victim covered in blood, with their army t-shirt torn.
4) NUDITY: here's some boobs, there's some boobs, but, nothing that you WANT to see...
5) SETTING: not sure where this was filmed, but the fact that while the soldiers are walking through this dense swampland, the viewer can see wear marks on the land where the grass has been worn down made me think it was at some type of preserve.
6) CAUSE: the voodoo aspect was minimal to say the least. Very disappointing.
FINAL--Overall, a really bad movie that I couldn't even recommend to a zombie movie completist to see. It's a terrible waste of time. Save yourselves...avoid this movie at all costs.
RATING: 0.5 out of 5
