Yea the plot is inconsistent, marginal acting, a tad bit like a school movie. But you can see that they tried. They had fun making the movie, which made fun of the genre. Scenes were stitched together OK. Lots of gore, but at least not a slasher. A supernatural slasher! candyman is in it, the guy from the hills have eyes, and a couple more ringers.bored? TV sucks? then this is worth a watch

...of misleading blurb writers, deceptive marketeers, and worst of all the legions of inept filmmakers that give rise to them via festering corpses of stillborn cinema. How Tony "Candyman" Todd got suckered into this benighted mess is beyond me; did he really read the script or was he just doing a favor for a drinking buddy? Easy paycheck, that's for sure. Neophyte lead Sully "Godsmack" Erna doesn't outright embarrass himself, but he's still stuck in a train wreck. This film will never be lovingly referred to by an acronym, let's put it that way. Whatever edge it might have been aiming for got sanded away by mediocre direction, editing, and camera-work, along with much of the acting, and of course the script.Damn these armies of incompetents!I note with interest that the child actor isn't even listed in the IMDb credits despite being clearly mentioned on screen. Were her producer parents that embarrassed?

"Army of the Damned" was as uneventful as it was non-entertaining.So what just went wrong here? Well, initially the storyline. Especially because it was lacking a greater coherent red thread throughout the entire course of the movie.Then comes the fact that the characters and their dialogue was likewise something that you just didn't care about, care for, or could take serious. Which really did nothing to help lift up the movie one bit. It was because of Tony Todd that I sat down to watch this movie, but I had to give up not even halfway into the movie, and I still hadn't seen Tony Todd anywhere. But the prolonged suffering that the movie was exposing me to was just unbearable.This is branded as a horror movie. Now, were they talking about the contents of the movie, or the actual movie itself. I am inclined to think the latter, especially since there weren't anything even remotely scary or thrilling to be found anywhere.Sure, there are movies that just immediately are a swing and a miss in each genre, and "Army of the Damned" was just one such movie.If I had to find something worth recommending that you watch this movie for, I would have to say that if you absolutely have nothing else, I am do literally mean nothing else, to watch, then sure, have a go at this movie. But otherwise, stay well clear of this trainwreck of a movie...

This is a serious "how not to make a movie". Basically if you're a new director or producer, do the opposite of what this movie did. This is the typical movie on the shelf at a gas station for 2.99. First off the Cinematography was poor. It looked like a 7th grade student handed in his first project. The best acting came from Tony Todd but was severely weak compared to his other outings. They billed it like he was the main star but he was in it for maybe 5 whole minutes. Judging by this and the previous "Self Storage" the director and producers have no idea what they are doing. Shooting on a weak DSLR really makes it hard to watch and the poor sound quality and non stop Godsmack songs really kills any horror vibe that they tried to make. I was truly hoping for a decent horror experience but what I found was a lack of experience from the film makers. 1/10
