Jack-O's Review: "The actor who played Dracula was the only good thing about the film. Michael Madsen is not really trying, he just basically sits in his laboratory the whole film and does not appear in the final bad CGI effects battle at the end. I liked the makeup/costumes of Dracula, Mummy, Werewolf, Invisible Man and Frankenstein's Monster, they look like they're supposed to look. It feels like the old Universal monster films (but not as good) with it's own made up monster lore. No gore, not scary, silly acting and dialogue-heavy. It's got a James Bond style opening and a Fright Break warning screen before the climax." ★ @trickhorrortreater


More Reviews:

"One important detail that you need to know before watching this low-budget entertainer is that it’s produced by The Asylum, the notorious studio that is famous (or rather infamous) for belting out cheap-looking genre parodies. Some of the Asylum’s classic 'mockbusters' include Snakes on a Train and the Sharknado series. Despite some decent makeup work and Madsen carrying the movie on his beaten shoulders, the editing of Monster Mash is all over the place and the dialogues heavy on painful exposition. And yet it has enough heart to become an underrated Halloween B-movie in the future, walking a step ahead of most of the other lacklustre Asylum productions." ★★★ HorrorScreamsVideoVault.co.uk

"It's certainly no graveyard smash. Its an asylum movie featuring all the universal monsters teaming up to fight Dr Frankenstein so I can't call it good by any means but I wouldnt be mad if they made more I kind of had fun with it." ★★★ Jc Du Plessis at Letterboxd.com

"You kind of wish this worked – it has tana leaves in and a few speeches about monsters banding together are almost sweet – but it has all the Asylum shortcuts … a miscast top-billed name who barely interacts with the rest of the film, make-weight supporting players who just aren’t up to their roles (in a pinch, Hummel is the best of the bunch), a lot of dreary padding, and a lack of anything like atmosphere or excitement. Slow-talking, thin-lipped, uncloaked Corbett looks as if he were trying for the role of the MC in Cabaret rather than playing Lord of the Vampires – he’s one of the least impressive Draculas on record." JohnnyAlucard.com.com

"Most monster bashes since Abbott and Costello have been silly comedies or Halloween shows. The title here, clearly referencing Bobby Darin’s hit 1962 song, makes you think are in for another comedy treatment. Oddly enough, Monster Mash takes itself seriously and works. The film places the monsters in a plot and gives reasonable reasons for them to all come together and form a team united against a particular threat – I far enjoyed this more modest original than the ludicrously over-budgeted Van Helsing. The film also includes a Fright Break, a gimmick borrowed from William Castle and his promotion for Homicidal (1961). The results are quite impressive...The one piece of casting that does not work at all is Michael Madsen as Dr Frankenstein...Madsen looks less like a mad scientist and more like an aging Mafia thug playing macho, delivering all the dialogue in his characteristic raspy voice...Other than that, Monster Mash is a charming delight." ★★★ MoriaReviews.com

Monster Mash isn't bad...A tripod keeps the camera steady. Sets are lit with actual electrical equipment, not available light sources. Shots also appear appropriately blocked as opposed to grabbing footage with run-and-gun carelessness. And although they're not fantastic, monster makeups are on par with work that was acceptable on syndicated TV like Psi-Factor and Poltergeist: The Legacy. Don't misunderstand. Monster Mash is still a movie whose stiff dialogue and cut-rate production value keep it ready-made for RiffTrax. It's just that whenever The Asylum logo appears at the start of a film, your standards hit the floor so hard, they fall unconscious. At least, they should. Once they're flattened down there, or if your better sense falls unconscious too, their movies become watchable, occasionally even entertaining in an "I'd better get stoned before muscling through the remaining hour of this" manner." Review Score: 50 CultureCrypt.com

"...Of course, it is low budget and Michael Madsen is broke but that notwithstanding this is terrible. It has not redeeming features. The acting is terrible. The script is weary. The effects are poor. The direction amateurish. The lighting and cinematography lack any kind of subtlety. It really is is first class horse you know what. So why not give it one? Well at least they tried. Making coherent and professional movies on this budget must be difficult and almost impossible to get In cinemas. Doesn't stop it being rubbish though." 2/10 stevelivesey-37183 at IMDb.com

Watch Free with Ads NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEB (2015) Happy 4th of July!

Our 4th of July horror film of the week is...

Night of the Living Deb (2015) streaming free with ads on Tubi, Roku and Plex. Also on Prime (subscription needed). "It's a Rom-Zom-Com" released in the US on VOD, Blu-ray and DVD by Dark Sky Films on September 6, 2016.

SYNOPSIS: The morning after a drunken hookup on July 4, endearingly awkward Deb wakes up in the apartment of the most attractive guy in Portland, Maine. Pretty boy Ryan only knows it was a mistake and ushers her out the door into a full-scale zombie apocalypse.

Directed by Kyle Rankin (Infestation) from a screenplay by Andy Selsor, the film stars Michael Cassidy, Maria Thayer, Ray Wise, Chris Marquette (Freddy vs. Jason; Infestation) and Syd Wilder.

On March 6, 2014 Kyle Rankin and Michael Cassidy revealed via Kickstarter that they were producing a “Zom-Rom-Com”. Aside from a pledge video and later a sequel to the pledge video (watch both below), they also released the first 16 pages of the script online. Investors were given 30 days to raise $99,000 – but by April 5, 2014, they had raised over $100,000.

FirstGlance Film Fest Filmmaker Interviews:



Jack-O's Review: "Funny dialogue had me chuckling throughout the whole film, kept me interested, never boring. The setup reminds me of Shaun of the Dead set in Portland, Maine with a twist on zombie lore at the end. Mostly a light fun comedy, very little horror besides the look of bloody zombies, shocking old lady zombie, zombies getting run over by car and zombies being shot in the head. Not Romero style gore but tame CGI gore thats nothing impressive or over the top. Takes place on 4th of July and one scene in a Christmas store. I had fun watching, I'll give it ★★★ = Good" @trickhorrortreater


More Reviews:

"This is supposed to be a play on the ancient trope of opposites attract, but ends up being more of an hour and a half watching two characters who are each completely obnoxious in opposite ways...They do provide an opportunity for some truly tasteless jokes, a couple of funny zombie kills (including Death By The Clapper), and a basic raison d’etre that barely drives the thin plot forward...It’s by far not the worst zombie film I’ve ever seen, but it’s not as funny as it thinks it is or as funny as it should be. If you’re a fan of romzomcoms you will undoubtedly like this better than I did, so don’t let my curmudgeonly opinion get you down." ChickFlickingReviews.com.com

"If you are a fan of zombies, comedy, and a little romance, Night of the Living Deb is certainly for you. I wouldn’t recommend it for you hardcore gore freaks out there, but there is plenty of other stuff floating around for you… leave this one for the other guys!" ★★★½ RepulsiveReviews.com

"The zombie action in this film is largely mild, and those scenes are played for comedic effect. The film is missing the unabashed gore which helped similar-toned film Shaun of the Dead reach legitimate fanfare amongst hardcore horror fans. This will help Deb be more of a company-friendly film but will be less likely to appease longtime genre fans. Overall, I quite enjoyed this one and I look forward to future films staring the captivating Maria Thayer." ★★★★ BmovieGeek.com

"If the performances are on point, so is the script. Penned by first-time screenwriter Andy Selsor, Night of the Living Deb‘s script is peppered with some incredibly witty observations, a rather subversive undertone and (near the knuckle) jokes which poke self-referential fun at the film, its characters and the very genre in which this inhabits." ★★★★★ Nerdly.co.uk

"The dialogue in Night of the Living Deb is snappy and the banter between the leads is brisk and nothing short of endearing...In the end, Deb finds her happy ending – after all, it’s a RomZomCom." HellNotes.com

"Highlight is the easy viewing and comedy, not being over the top, dialogue being top notch and acting great. One scene involving a woman in lingerie bouncing on the bed which was mistaken for sex noises did have me red in the face. Maybe I’ve grown out of that sort of humour, although I found the reaction of the bloke downstairs hilarious (tearing a sandwich apart as he wanted to ‘bang her’ again). It’s smart and witty and not too complicated. We get the happy ever after. Touched my heart on more than one occasion because I am a big softie. Do I recommend this? Yes, I do, if you like zombie, comedy, romance or horror, then consider it. I think of this like a more feminine version of zombie movies simply because of the focus on the woman." Rating: 4.8/5 PsychedelicWizard.wordpress.com

"This film is probably not for hardcore horror fans, since it is never really scary. There is explicit language and sexual references, but very little gore for a zombie film. There is comedy, a decent plot and quality performances. Also, refreshingly the heroine stays fully clothed for the entire film and doesn't have magically perfect hair and makeup while fighting to stay alive. Night of the Living Deb is a fun romantic comedy with added zombies. It would make a decent movie for a date night, provided your date isn't really squeamish." WeekendNotes.com

"Night of the Living Deb is mostly inoffensively bland entertainment, limiting the blood and gore of the genre. A bit more edginess may have made the film more memorable, but then again, so would an original idea for the screenplay." 4/10 RizayReviews.com
