Sure, the 3D in those ones sucked too, but with them I could see a semblance of 3D effect.
This thing is a big ball of nothing.
And whoever that women was who played the daughter of the ear-eating dame, yum!
I'd like to see more of her.
In movies, as well.
Looks like Janet Margolin at a young age.
Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
En route to a small town that lays way off the beaten track (but which looks suspiciously close to a freeway), a female reporter runs into a strange hitch-hiker who agrees to help direct her to her destination.
The strange man then recounts a pair of gruesome tales connected to the area: in the first story, an adulterous couple plot to kill the woman's husband, but eventually suffer a far worse fate themselves when they are attacked by a zombie;
and in the second story, a group of campers have their vacation cut short when an undead outlaw takes umbrage at having his grave peed on.
The Zombie Chronicles is an attempt by writer Garrett Clancy and director Brad Sykes at making a zombie themed anthology聴a nice idea, but with only two stories, it falls woefully short.
And that's not the only way in which this low budget gore flick fails to deliver: the acting is lousy (with Joe Haggerty, as the tale-telling Ebenezer Jackson, giving one of the strangest performances I have ever seen);
the locations are uninspired;
the script is dreary;
there's a sex scene with zero nudity;
and the ending....
well, that beggars belief.
To be fair, some of Sykes' creative camera-work is effective (although the gimmicky technique employed as characters run through the woods is a tad overused) and Joe Castro's cheapo gore is enthusiastic: an ear is bitten off, eyeballs are plucked out, a face is removed, brains are squished, and there is a messy decapitation.
These positives just about make the film bearable, but be warned, The Zombie Chronicles ain't a stroll in the park, even for seasoned viewers of z-grade trash.
I give The Zombie Chronicles 2/10, but generously raise my rating to 3 since I didn't get to view the film with the benefit of 3D (although I have a sneaking suspicion that an extra dimension wouldn't have made that much of a difference).
Without wishing to be a killjoy, Brad Sykes is responsible for at least two of the most dull and clich茅d films i've ever seen - this being one of them, and Camp Blood being another.
The acting is terrible, the print is shoddy, and everything about this film screams "seriously, you could do better yourself."
Maybe this is a challenge to everyone to saturate youtube with our own zombie related crap?
I bought this for 拢1, but remember, you can't put a price on 71 minutes of your life.
You'd do well to avoid this turkey, even at a bargain basement price.
My girlfriend once brought around The Zombie Chronicles for us to watch as a joke.
Little did we realize the joke was on her for paying 拢1 for it.
While watching this film I started to come up with things I would rather be doing than watching The Zombie Chronicles.
These included: 1) Drinking bleach 2) Rubbing sand in my eyes 3) Writing a letter to Brad Sykes and Garrett Clancy 4) Re-enacting the American civil war 5) Tax returns 6) GCSE Maths 7) Sex with an old lady.
Garrett Clancy, aka Sgt.
Ben Draper wrote this?
The guy couldn't even dig a hole properly.
The best ting he did was kick a door down (the best part of the film).
This was the worst film I have ever seen, and I've seen White Noise: The Light.
Never has a film had so many mistakes in it.
My girlfriend left it here, so now I live with the shame of owning this piece of crap.
News just in: Owen Wilson watched this film and tried to kill himself.
Fact.
DO NOT WATCH
Amateur, no budget films can be surprisingly good ...
this however is not one of them.
Ah, another Brad Sykes atrocity.
The acting is hideous, except for Emmy Smith who shows some promise.
The camera "direction" needs serious reworking.
And no more "hold the camera and run" gimmicks either;
it just doesn't work.
The special effects are unimaginative, there's a problem when the effect can be identified in real time.
If you're going to rip off an ear, please don't let us see the actor's real ear beneath the blood.
The scenery is bland and boring (same as Mr. Sykes other ventures), and the music is a cross between cheap motel porn and really bad guitar driven metal (see the scenery comment).
Did I mention the lack of any real plot, or character development?
Apparently, the scriptwriter didn't.
Whoever is funding this guy ...
please stop.
I've seen some of his other "home movies" (which I will not plug) and they are just as bad.
Normally, a "director" will grow and learn from his previous efforts ...
not this guy.
It's one thing to be an amateur filmmaker, but anyone can be a hack.
Definitely not even a popcorn film ...
of course, chewing on popcorn kernels would be less painful than this effort.
Award: The worst ever military push-ups in a film.
OK its not the best film I've ever seen but at the same time I've been able to sit and watch it TWICE!!!
story line was pretty awful and during the first part of the first short story i wondered what the hell i was watching but at the same time it was so awful i loved it cheap laughs all the way.
And Jebidia deserves an Oscar for his role in this movie the only thing that let him down was half way through he stopped his silly name calling.
overall the film was pretty perfetic but if your after cheap laughs and you see it in pound land go by it.
Some films that you pick up for a pound turn out to be rather good - 23rd Century films released dozens of obscure Italian and American movie that were great, but although Hardgore released some Fulci films amongst others, the bulk of their output is crap like The Zombie Chronicles.
The only positive thing I can say about this film is that it's nowhere near as annoying as the Stink of Flesh.
Other than that, its a very clumsy anthology film with the technical competence of a Lego house built by a whelk.
It's been noted elsewhere, but you really do have to worry about a film that inserts previews of the action into its credit sequence, so by the time it gets to the zombie attacks, you've seen it all already.
Bad movie fans will have a ball watching the 18,000 continuity mistakes and the diabolical acting of the cast (especially the hitchhiker, who was so bad he did make me laugh a bit), and kudos to Hardgore for getting in to the spirit of things by releasing a print so bad it felt like I was watching some beat up home video of a camping trip.
Awful, awful stuff.
We've all made stuff like this when we've gotten a hold of a camera, but common sense prevails and these films languish in our cupboards somewhere.
Avoid.
I received this movie as a gift, I knew from the DVD cover, this movie are going to be bad.
After not watching it for more than a year I finally watched it.
what a pathetic movie .
I almost didn't finish watching this bad movie,but it will be unfair of me to write a review without watching the complete movie.
Trust me when I say " this movie sucks" I am truly shocked that some bad filmmaker wane bee got even financed to make this pathetic movie, But it couldn't have cost more than $20 000 to produce this movie.
all you need are a cheap camcorder or a cell phone camera .
about 15 people with no acting skills, a scrip that were written by a couple of drunk people.
In the fist part of this ultra bad move a reporter (Tara Woodley )run a suppose to be drunk man over on her way to report on a hunted town.
He are completely unharmed.
They went to a supposed to be abandon house ,but luckily for the it almost complete furnished and a bottle of liquor on the door step happens to be there.
just for the supposed to be drunk man but all is not what it seems.
Then the supposed drunk man start telling Tara ghost/zombies stories.
The fist of his stupid lame stories must be the worst in history.
his story Sgt.
Ben Draper let one of his soldiers die of complete exhaustion (I think this is what happens)after letting the poor soldier private Wilson do sit ups he let him dig a grave and then the soldier collapse ,Ben Draper buries him in a shallow grave.
But Sgt.
Ben Draper are in for n big surprise.
his wife/girl fiend knows about this and she and her lover kills Sgt.
Ben Draper to take revenge on private Wilson.
(next to the grave of the soldier he sort off murdered) The soldier wakes up from his grave in the form of zombie and kill them for taking revenge on his behalf.
The twist ending were so lame.
Even if you like B HORROR movies, don't watch this movie
I have not seen many low budget films i must admit, but this is the worst movie ever probably, the main character the old man talked like, he had a lobotomy and lost the power to speak more than one word every 5 seconds, a 5 year old could act better.
The story had the most awful plot, and well the army guy had put what he thought was army like and then just went over the top, i only watched it to laugh at how bad it was, and hoped it was leading onto the real movie.
I cant believe it was under the 2 night rental thing at blockbusters, instead of a please take this for free and get it out of our sight.
I think there was one semi decent actor other than the woman, i think the only thing OK with the budget was the make up, but they show every important scene of the film in the beginning music bit.
Awful simply awful.
Oh wait, I can!
