I hate when I read a review and some guy is trying to compare a low budget horror film to "Gone with the Wind" It's a low budget horror film you idiots. Have you ever tried making a film? The Quiroz Brothers have an audience...a big audience...every guy that goes to college and smokes a little weed in between exams. That's it! Nothing more! The film is meant to be fun, silly, crazy and might scare you a little...making a film for 20k is tough, trust me I've done it and its no walk in the park. Who gives a crap about police protocol? The great thing about movies is they are FANTASY! They are meant to take you away from REALITY..There are no rules in film making, the only rule is that there are no rules...just watch "Boffo Tinseltown"...some of the greatest directors and producers will say the same thing. There are no secrets, no one in film-making knows what is going to be a hit or even be good...Paranormal whatever or that other horror picture that make a billion dollars...There are no rules, don't be mad at the Quiroz brothers for breaking them...they have 17 straight to video films...looks to me they are have an audience
Every time I see a film like this I get sick to my stomach. When I watch a movie I like to see what I see in everyday life. As I go through my day I see blacks, whites, Asians, Latinos etc...How do you cast a film and don't even think of the possibility that other ethnic groups will walk past you? I'm sure they didn't do it on purpose but pay attention. I don't care if it takes place in Kansas or South Central. All I saw was one token black. This was typical in the 80's. Hey! it's 2007, with all the rappers, singers and athletes working as actors Thomas Haden Church could have paid more attention to his cast. Aren't actors supposed to be more liberal?
This movie would have been great if the cast would have reflected today's society, or at least the way we look at it. This cast was from a typical 60's - early 90's make-up. One black zombie, a black butler (what the heck?), one Latino bad guy, no Asians and 100 white actors playing all the meaningful roles.
Come on George! Get your head out of the 60's. Don't you watch hip-hop? All our kids do. As a filmmaker myself you have to understand your climate. When I write I wouldn't dare write a film with all blacks, all whites or all Latinos. Unless it was totally called for (a film about African natives)It's just not the world I live in. I love watching films when my everyday world is reflected. Every ethnic group brings something special to a film, like humor.
It's funny, I can watch a film on cable and I can tell what decade it's from by the cast. If you watch Nicklodeon, those show's have white kids dating black kids and so on. That's the way we look at it now, it's better then before George....WAY BETTER! So get with it homie.
