Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
THE DUNGEON OF DR. DRECK is a really stupid indie comedy/horror flick clearly made as a tribute to the local 'horror hosts' which did so much to promote old-time horror movies in the USA in the 1960s and beyond. Sadly, this brain-dead comedy fails in every respect, feeling ad-libbed, stupid, and forced throughout. There's no faulting the enthusiasm of the crew or actors but the product they've come up with just doesn't work. The end result features wobbly camera-work and jokes that go on and on with no punchline. Add in flat line delivery and an aimless pace and you have a real dud of a film.
I have just finished watching this wonderful movie. The concept of having television shows and movies within this movie was a well researched and well executed idea that really worked.Doctor Dreck needs to earn money, so he presents his idea of a medical show to the local television station, who instead end up giving him his own horror movie show, with his co-host Moaner Johnson (a zombie) and Stu (a rubber rat that talks).Meanwhile the station owner continually tries to kill Dreck and Moaner.My favourite character was Moaner, the Zombie Cheerleader. So believable and well acted by Lorna Nogueira.A must see movie for lovers of horror-hosts.
