kardosma This was actually a lot of fun - campy silliness and, for something with about the same budget that most people spend a year on burgers, it was plenty entertaining. If you're in the "easily offended" category, maybe watch something else - there are just a few moments where the fragile will find themselves wanting to post complaints on social media about inappropriate stereotyping and humour etc... so save yourself the time and watch something else, you'll much happier! For those with thicker skin and an irreverent and yes sometimes inappropriate sense of humour, you'll probably get a few giggles. Bonus points for liberal use of squelchy monsters, and finishing with a fun ending.
John Johnson This DVD was a prize in a Zombie walk contest at a horror movie festival. It was given by a local comic book/DVD/hobby store. It's pretty obviously low-budget, campy stuff. Nowadays, we're spoiled with this kind of stuff because of YouTube. Making and distributing movies didn't use to be as easy as it is now, and I applaud the makers for their accomplishment. That having been said, even for a movie like this, I was a little disappointed. I thought it was going to be kind of a mystery/monster movie, but then they threw in a kind of Lara Croft super-spy, which I didn't think fit. It actually seemed to clash with the vibe of the movie and really threw me out of it. It's kind of the same problem with the main scientist. There are just too many characters where they switch the narrative too much. I hate to be crass, but the sex appeal of this movie was poorly done to. Cheap horror movies have boob shots. It's pretty standard fare. But if you don't have girls that look good, then don't bother. I mean, a B-movie can be fun WITHOUT it. I don't look good without my shirt on either - which is why I don't take it off at parties. In defense, I'm trying to think of comparable movies to compare this with, and I don't think I've seen many. This movie would be good fun as background at a horror movie party maybe - or just for folks that like indie stuff, but nothing more than that. Or maybe I just don't know enough to compare it. Still, I'm glad I watched it.
Woodyanders The illegal dumping of toxic waste in a lagoon spawns a lethal humanoid monster (Ben Chester in a gnarly rubber suit) that proceeds to terrorize a remote rural community. Director Richard Griffin, who also co-wrote the blithely inane script with Lee Smith, relates the entertaining story at a snappy pace, maintains an engaging tongue-in-cheek tone throughout, presents a hysterically funny sense of spot-on broad'n'crude politically incorrect humor, and delivers a sizable amount of gore along with a decent smattering of gratuitous female nudity. The flavorsome evocation of the downhome setting and the amusing and colorful array of outrageous redneck characters adds immensely to this movie's considerable campy charm. Moreover, it's acted with real zest by a game no-name cast, with especially stand-out contributions from Andrew Vellenoweth as the amiable Baxter, Tanith Fiedler as the tough and duplicitous Shannon, William DeCoff as the mean Clay, V. Orion Delwaterman as sarcastic smartaleck Will, Adam Jarmon Brown as the foul-mouthed Bubba, Leigh Radziwon as sassy hick chick Bobby-Sue, Patrick Pitu as the dim-witted Cooter, and Mary Ann Schwaub as the earnest Dr. Mary Levon. Andrew Vellenoweth's sharp cinematography provides an impressive polished look. Daniel Hildreth's twangy and harmonic score hits the spirited shuddery spot. A really fun flick.
KSCfilmstudent This film by Richard Griffin is better by leaps and bounds than his last film, Raving Maniacs. The story in it's simplest is very straight forward and simple, there's a monster and hey guess what.. it's killing people. But the script has enough twists in it so you stay engaged in the story without getting confused by some overly pretentious and convoluted turn of events.All the acting here is good with appropriate tongue-in-cheek-ness that one would expect in this kind of horror film. We're not talking all start A-list good or anything here, but these people in the film are definitely worlds ahead of some indie horror films where someone calls up his buddies who don't know a thing.My personal favorite is Adam Brown playing Bubba. Right from the opening of the movie, Bubba breaks the 4th wall and acts as a bit of a narrator for the film. He breaks in doing this at a few different points. Not only is Bubba pretty funny, he also serves to send the audience a message of "Hey, kick back. Don't take this too seriously and have some fun." And that's what you get with Seepage. You get a good pile of fun that pokes fun at the horror genre. It's an indie horror film where you laugh with a "Hey that's pretty funny" rather than a "Wow look how bad they are." There's a lot to enjoy here an no one who goes into this with a good attitude will be disappointed.
