One of the goriest things you will see outside of one of those early Peter Jackson films. This is a German gorefest zombie flick directed by Olaf Ittenbach, a fellow who's made a career at creating disturbing imagery on film. I've only seen 3 of his films so far, THE BURNING MOON and DARD DIVORCE, and this one is definitely the goofiest of that trio. It's the story of some time-traveling demon who's brought back once again thanks to some corpse-reviving elixir. The plot is not all that important though because the spectacle of exploding heads, chainsawed limbs, crushed testicles and tons of other monstrous acts of violence are the main draws here. The hilariously awful dubbing is also a plus. A convenient body count tally at the end puts the kills at 117 and that's good enough for me. The onyl downside might be the burnout you will feel around the 80 minute mark from all the zombie killing. This could have been edited down a bit from it's girthy 106-minute running time and it would probably leave you feeling more satisfied. Still a good watch with some friends and some booze.
