In 2003, Jose Prendes made Corpses are forever, a terribly underrated action-horror flick with a top-notch cast and fun, witty script.Malcolm Grant (Jose Prendes) is requited by the mysterious General Morton (played by the wonderfully over the top Richard Lynch) to be injected with a formula that will allow him to go through the memories of a serial killer, in order to discover why the earth has been over run by the walking dead !People need to stop being so mean. This a great flick with a top notch cast, and bad-ass storyline.Besides Lynch, the film also stars Debbie Rochon (Hanger), Linnea Quigley (Return of the Living dead), Felissa Rose (Sleepaway camp) and the always entertaining Conrad Brooks (Plan 9 from Outer space). Also from Return of the Living dead is Don Calfa, who makes a cameo appearance here as Grants former boss, under the pseudonym Lanc Flododa.Prendes has so much talent, watching this just makes me want to read all his novels and pic up his othe directorial effort, The Monster Man, which also stars Brooks and Quigley, as well as FX legend Tom Savini. Heres to you Jose, for proving that even the little guy can make one hell of a fun flick.

This movie started out promising enough but it started to become weird and messy soon after that.It's absurd how many things this movie tries to be. It doesn't really fit into one genre because of that and it makes you unsure how to take this movie. It starts out as a serious mystery movie, then it becomes suddenly a zombie kung-fu flick and a spoof of about every every well known classic or cult horror movie. I often say it is a good thing for these low budget type of movies to not take itself so seriously but in this particular I was actually still digging this movie when it was being serious. It was when it became silly and more comedy like that I started to get annoyed and disappointed with this movie.I can definitely see and understand what the film-makers were trying to do and achieve though. They tried to be like a Robert Rodriguez movie, that goes over-the-top with things and is a nod to some cult classics out of the horror genre. Kind of like from "From Dusk Till Dawn", only Jose Prendes clearly ain't no Robert Rodriguez and he isn't half as talented as he is. None of the ideas really work out in this movie because it goes into way too many different directions and only becomes an huge mess to watch because of that.So this movie is many things but yet it also isn't good with being any of these things. It isn't a good horror, it isn't a good zombie flick, it isn't a good comedy, it isn't a good gory/action blood-fest. No, I just can't imaging anybody liking this movie as anything. In this case you also really can't blame the low budget for that, since it was the directing and writing that made this simply one huge mess to watch.Guess it still has some mildly entertainment value to it because I just didn't hate this movie as much as I often hate modern low budget horror movies. But there is no reason for anyone to ever go and see this movie.3/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*"Corpses are Forever" reeks. It is a sick joke of a horror flick. It is supposed to be some sort of zombie flick but it's all a lie. The movie is just an excuse to gather some B-movie divas together so that the filmmakers could waste their time. Mission accomplished. But what about that diva trio? Surely they could add something worthwhile to this garbage? Well, there's Brinke Stevens, Linnea Quigley and Debbie Rochon. Now that's three scream queens. Count them. Three. Ask me how many of them got naked. Go on and ask me. You ready? NONE! BOOOO!!! All we get is a bargain basement James Bond who continually checks his ammo while confused zombies wander around wondering what the heck they are doing in this movie. Pardon me while I go take a shower. I need to wash this movie down the drain.

Corpses might be forever, but my attention span wasn't. Another horrible movie distributed by the asylum, please stay away from the asylum.....unless you want to waste your money?OK here's the story line, guy with amnesia wakes up in future where zombie are running rampage (why who knows?), zombie chase him, he runs, then he starts fighting them with kungfu (which looks like little kids in the backyard play fighting, not one punch or kick even come close to target) he then meets some people, who know him (how unusual..) then this process is repeated through the movie multiple times till it ends....Another reason this movie was just bad, is because the person who wrote it, is also the main character, and his acting skills match his writing skills, horrible! must have been over budget?Now don't get me wrong I am a big horror fan and love low budget movies, but this had the substance of a home movie, bad actors, horrible sets, unbearable script, and no plot, ya.. just like a home movie....If you enjoy zombie movies I would stay away from this and cuddle up with ....day of the dead, dawn of the dead, night of the living dead, Shawn of the dead, the undead, and even the old school "zombie" movies...for some real zombie action.
