A Yankee by the name of Bloody Bill was killed in a similar fashion to that of Rasputin, for the alleged alliance had with Satan and of course the Satan Hoteliers DIscount Card is a dead give away. BIll vows vegeance upon the Sunset Valley town, both for his own death and that of his sister who is lynched by association.

Fast forward to the present and the opening scene is a comical car chase on a barren dirt road, with a cop chasing a criminal with a large quantity of cocaine. We don’t see the cop again, but the criminal ends up in a town called…Sunset Valley, filled with the living dead, and who’s population goes up everytime it gains a new member of the living dead family, headed by our very own Bloody Bill.

A group of kids are about to venture on a trip to Phoenix, and on the way come across a criminal who hijacks the van. It turns out this criminal is the friend of the one that got away. So, as you can surmise, we take a journey one more to…Sunset Valley. You can also surmise that there will be lots of death, lots of corny acting, and plenty of plot holes. Still, I did partially enjoy this wretched piece.

Sure, the plot is weak and the film is awfully dull in places, in addition the feature as a whole is rather woeful, but there’s something about zombie films that strike a cord with me

Some of the special effects are pretty good, with limbs being torn or chewed off. There’s also a fair amount of zombie gore, entrails being removed and organs being misplaced. It’s entertaining, comical fun with perhaps only the lead taking the film extremely seriously. The female lead is, rather wooden, and scripted – by comparison everyone else seems to be having fun.

The same annoyances appear as they do with other low-budget films: shrieking busty girls; idiotic, redneck inbreeds that run into danger; the people that die due to their own stupidity even after countless warnings about what might happen, and yet take no heed and so on. Everyone that dies in the film, pretty much deserves to die and it’s a welcome relief when all their yelling and screaming, literally, dies down.

Sure, the plot is weak and the film is awfully dull in places, in addition the feature as a whole is rather woeful, but there’s something about zombie films that strike a cord with me. It has all the right elements of a zombie flick, it also manages to make you laugh with some brilliant over acting. The use of footage given the sepia look, with dust and scartches isn’t done very well, but fits it’s purpose. The ending stinks, actually most of the film stinks, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone, but having seen two other low-budget offenses, I can safely say this upped the standards by a large margin, and therefore came off as much needed respite from lower mediocrity.

The film has little in the way of redeeming features, it has no repeat value, nor does it offer anything new or interesting, but it’s brainless fun for 90 minutes, and for that purpose it met my needs.

Verdict: Rubbish, corny, abysmal but brainless, stupid fun.
