...or should that be offal? The movie is so bad, it's hard to tell where to start. The premise is interesting, and there are parts that look good...or would, if the sound wasn't horrible.
I realize that the movie is trying to be lighthearted, but the sound is so awful that it totally detracts from the movie. From poorly dubbed voices to a soundtrack that NEVER seems to stop, I felt several times that I would enjoy the movie more if I just muted the movie.
The direction is bad as well. Camp is fine, Evil Dead shows how great it can be. However, there is no humor in the movie, unless you enjoy stupid "fast forward" type gags of people running around.
The film could have been promising, but the director seemed to undermine the premise at every turn. It's unfortunate that it can't be accurately described here, but I'll once again try an analogy: Live action GI Joe, crossed with really really bad kung fu movies, attempting coolness, but comes off as a high school level effort. Avoid at all costs.
