Movie # 18 Junk (2000)
A gang of jewel thieves might have bit off more than they could chew when the undead make a surprise visit.
Its obvious that this filmmaker has a love for horror cinema with many little tips of the hat to films like Re-Animator, The Evil Dead etc. But it boils down to this being just an OK movie and while i really dug on the crime element mixed into the horror its poor writing sinks it. Plot holes, things that make zero sense and weird structure truly hold this film back from being a modern day classic in its own right. You`ve seen all of this before done much better. Still even with its problems its not terrible and for being a low budget it had some great special effects and fun over the top gross out gags that will sure to please any hard-gore fan. Its also evident that the director has a real visual flare and its a shame that while he still makes films he never had cross over success here in the States. I think he could have made something amazing, given the right material. Not great but still a nasty little side dish in the zombie film buffet.
