Death Metal Zombies

Normally, I’ll give any $4 crock of D.I.Y shot-on-video horror flik the vast benefit of the doubt and press play to see what the deal is, but this… pitiful lump of Texan, no budget, living dead poo from ‘Cemetery Cinema’ made me wanna’ press eject within minutes. Ok, I know it’s not intended to be high art, or even basic trash, and it’s obviously a labor of love made by friends, but god damnit, there’s only so much footage of the same 10 zombies coughing up ketchup any mere mortal can withstand.
 
‘Starring’ Lisa Cook, Bill Dewild, Joe Vela and Thomas Banta as ‘Shengar’ (a nasty spirit/entity), the story concerns itself with a bunch of death metal twonks (in black T-shirts) who listen to a cassette tape (remember them?) and then turn into death metal zombies. The end.
 
Most of it is shot in the directors house with terrible lighting that gives everyone's face the appearance of a pizza crust, and although there’s some neat and crunchy tunes by Brutality, Dismember, Dead World and Pungent Stench (all name checked in the credits), the best elements are the brief and soapy topless scenes, wanky headbanging and a killer who wears a Nixon mask Duuuuuuuuuude!!!
 
Far more than missable, it’s dedicated to Kurt Cobain and God himself is thanked in the end credits.
