quridley This is the weakest of JR Bookwalter's films because it strays from his style of fast, humorous action scenes. Bookwalter tries something more ambitious, moody and suspenseful and he fails. But its still typically watchable in its cheesiness. This is more drab looking and boring than his other films though. There are scenes where the black leading man is locked in cages, forced into a Mandingo fight and a zombie sniffs him and says, "You smell like a brother...". It might be a string of racist jokes or JR made a film thats a metaphor for smalltown racism. So Bookwalter tries to be artsier here and its appreciated, but he forgot to make it entertaining as he was NEVER scary or thoughtful director.
HumanoidOfFlesh Ozone is the name of a new highly addictive street drug that is often fatal for bums and junkies.Detectives Eddie Boone and Mike Weitz are hot on the trail of drug lord Sam DeBartolo,who's behind the trafficking of Ozone.While running down a connection Weitz is attacked by zombies and disappears and Boone is injected with the drug.He slowly starts to mutate into zombie.I enjoyed "Ozone" due to its pretty high gore level.The main performance of James Black is quite solid and the digital effects are surprisingly effective.The pace of the film moves swiftly and there is plenty of gore on display.Considering the budget of "Ozone" I was impressed with this small indie production.I still haven't seen "The Dead Next Door",but I'd like to someday.7 out of 10.
Morgan This came at the end of a long weekend spent watching really bad films. Don't think for a second that adds to its credit, though. I can't list everything I hated about this movie because a) it would take too long and b) I'm sure it killed a few of my brain cells, and my mind is blocking some of my memories out of self-defense. This movie contains: terrible acting, a horrible screenplay, lousy camera-work, way too much red lighting, occasionally no light at all, really bad makeup, plot hole upon plot hole upon plot hole, the least effective villain ever, a mind-numbingly bad soundtrack, and THE strangest sex scene I have ever encountered in my life. The director admitted in the commentary that he gets teased a lot for the "parking lot of death" scene, and I would say "teasing" is a generous word. I would like to throw feces at the man responsible for that scene. Also, when we got this movie it was listed as "Street Zombies", not "Ozone". It's a fair indicator of a bad film when there's more than one title involved-- alas, we had no warning. Here's what I can say to this film's credit: watch it with a bunch of friends and you just may get some good laughs out of the schlocky awfulness. In a scene in a bar involving zombified patrons, the director mentions that he'd been buying all the extras beer and they were all rip-roaringly drunk by the time filming was through. Watching this movie, I really, really, really wish I had been, too.
amarlequin The movie runs for an hour and twenty minutes and it does nothing except prove that even good movie ideas can be ruined if not handled well. The acting is piss poor and the " zombie -mutants " don't even raise a laugh. While it is true that lack of money can seriously cramp one's style the fact that this movie is bad is not related to low budget but rather to low standards. Haphazard story lines, cliched dialogues ,poor lighting, crude sfx and an unsurprising twist at the end make this movie a must for masochists and insomniacs.
