Demonwarp (1988)

Sorry, this movie sucks

Sadly Over-hyped

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

While not as bad as THE CREEPING TERROR (how could anything be?), this confused mess definitely ranks (literally) right down there with some of the worst. As someone else wrote, even a couple of topless bimbos can't begin to save this dreadful piece of crap. It wouldn't have taken much for a competent director/screenwriter to turn this into a truly hilarious comedy. As it was it had me giggling in frank disbelief at the absurdities on screen. A 'Bigfoot' monster that's taken high school auto shop classes? Must have, given how it cleverly disabled that engine. But wait! It's not a monster movie, it's a zombie movie, as shown by the Romero retreads seen shuffling about. Although that's not right either as you've got aliens. But are they aliens? Where does the 'demon' part from the title come in? Actually, this film doesn't know WHAT the heck it wants to be. I can only conjecture that George Kennedy, an otherwise fine actor, is staying up nights wishing he could find ways to destroy every copy of this abomination.

To be fair Demonwarp isn't the worst film I've seen (I've just seen Night Of The Demon and survived) but it is pretty dire. It starts off OK (as many films do) but it soon becomes clear what we're dealing with - a mostly boring and silly film that isn't going very far. Still it had plenty of shots of breasts, a topless woman gets her head pulled off (though this is not as spectacular as it sounds) and a man gets a dismembered hand thrown at him, which is sort of funny. Everything seems to be crammed into the second half, with zombies, a Bigfoot monster and aliens all making appearances. By this time though I was throughly bored and fast-forwarding through most of the tedious dialogue. Don't bother seeing this unless you're desperate. There are tons of better films out there.

Ok, I'm a big fan of B-movies and films that are so bad they are funny, but this is just baaaaaaaaaad. The special effects are pretty cool, but only towards the end of the film. The guy in the ape suit is really pathetic. The plot is absolutely dire and the characters... what characters? they are that shallow! Plenty of RGB's (random gratuitous breast shots) but even that can't save this. I wanted the hour and a half of my life back that I wasted watching this garbage, its terrible.

The main reason why I rented this movie was scream queen Michelle Bauer, but it has so many things in it that made me want to buy and I did. For being low budget it has everything a horror flick should have, nudity, gore, some graphic effects and is very fast paced. Rent it, you won't be dissappointed
