I've never shied away from a really bad horror movie (Zombiez, Ghosts Don't Exist, The Sick and The Dead) and this one didn't disappoint, thank goodness. It was 87 minutes of being on an edge of plots but they were way to far in the distance to recognize them. There were three story lines; 1) the couple whose marriage was not going well because the dude was on the computer all the time while a zombie apocalypse was going on outside (later the computer became an alien life form that eventually sprouted roots and killed his wife who dreamed of dancing with zombies), 2) the vampire couple who captured a female to feed on but she turned out to be some anti-vampire, 3) a kick-butt girl who is a wannabe Alice (from Resident Evil) and gets hooked up with the Anti-Christ. None of the three story lines actually crossed paths, except that they were living in a zombie apocalypse. It was 87 minutes of incredible lack of direction, no plot and some really weird scripting. If you like movies with no plot and no clear ending, this is a great movie for you. One of the best lines in the movie, "There's m-f arm bones in the front yard!" I gave this one star because the videography/camera angles and video transitions are well done. This is a keeper for my "Crappy Movies" collection.

During the first five minutes of this movie I thought about turning it off. But at the one hour mark I was dying to find out what the hell was going on. Somehow this terrible movie captivated me right to the very end - at which point non of my questions were answered.For those who love crappy movies, I highly recommend this one. You will be treated to mind boggling plot twists, enthralling high school-calibre acting, and grade five level dialogue. This movie redeems itself by being amazingly terrible from start to finish.The movie begins by showing you the struggles of a couple who turn out to be vampires, another couple who are having relationship problems due to computer addiction, and other chick that's just messed up because she had to kill her husband and baby. Then some sort of organic cyborg fungus grows out of one dude's computer and feeds off a cactus ... 'Power Source Located'. This of course happens a number of other times when the tentacles find a mouse and then the dude's girlfriend (who fantasizes about romancing a zombie - a la Dirty Dancing). Totally awesome, but seemingly not connected to anything else that's happening in any of the other story lines.So then the vampires capture this girl who I think was an anti-vampire because she gets stronger as they feed off her. Mayhem ensues and the only one left alive is the vampiress. Yet, somewhere else in the same building? or in another part of the city, the angry chick (who had to kill her own baby) meets the Antichrist who is being pursued by these creepy priests (oh ya, the Antichrist is a 12 year old boy, which seems appropriate for their zealous desire to find him).In the end, pretty much everyone dies, but the angry chick and the Antichrist go off together somewhere - maybe to fight the alien cyborg fungus, and the vampiress laments about the horrible and chaotic world in which she is left alone - and yes, she has no answers and either do we.

Imagine something circling outside the rim of a black hole; it never falls in but circles it eternally. That is this movie: eternally circling outside the plot of what could have been a good movie. It tries to be an anthology but only with a laughable tenuous link to the other movies. It tries to be a plot driven horror film, with too few scares and not enough plot. Yet, strangely, it has grown on me. The "Overbite" story is the most lacking on plot but the couple's story intrigued me and they're believable as a couple. I wish it was a series. The "Up the Ante" story, I believe also could have been good, if it had been fully realized. However, the "Entanglement" story was utterly horrible. It's one bright spot, was the actress that played the wife. She is probably awesome with stronger material.In the end, I believe this movie had the ability to be something more than it was. It had decent actors and plots that had potential (NOT including "Entanglement") but it failed. I gave it 5 stars because it was halfway there. Forever outside the powerful star of a good movie.

Do not be fooled by this movies brilliant DVD cover. I was in the movie store and there it was, a new zombie flick (I love zombie flicks. Can never seem to get enough of them) and on the cover was a hot female in torn clothes boots and ripped fishnets standing on a pile of rubble surrounded by zombies and she's holding a pistol down at them. The title of the movie 'Edges of Darkness' in the background behind her head with the tag line 'so many zombies, so little time' underneath. SWEET! I thought. Turned it over and the hot chick is wielding an axe and there are nothing but zombies other than her. Looked like a good and cheesy action flick. I have never been so disappointed. It starts of pretty decent. You can tell it's a low budget production, but that never bothers me. We see lots of zombies and then we get into these 3 tales that don't make any sense or have really anything to do with zombies. SPOILER ALERT. First story is a about this "warrior" woman (I think this is the girl on the DVD case as far a I can tell. If it is the photo shopped the hell out of her) helping some mother and her son. She then finds out some priest are trying to kill the boy because they think he's the anti-Christ. The second is about this computer obsessed husband who ignores his wife who talks to herself. Then the computer starts coming alive. The last one is about this couple who kidnap this woman and want to drink her blood but some unknown reason that's never found out her blood starts poisoning them. The whole movie you just want a zombie to kill all of them. No one dies from a zombie. OK, that's a lie, some random people at the beginning who have no lines do, but that's it. There are no likable characters, mashed up non-sensible plots, boring sets (seriously looked like the whole thing was shot in dorm rooms and show houses. Every room was white and empty except one room that was covered in graffiti), unfocused camera work, and a bad soundtrack. Do not waste your time or money on this movie. Watching my hands prune in a bath is more interesting
