Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Nigel P People are stupid. Some people are very stupid. Usually, characters in horror films are at least slightly stupid, otherwise they wouldn't constantly get entangled in the mess that fuels the drama. But when the leads are six forensic undergrads who embark on a scientific expedition, you expect a certain degree of sense. Their project takes them to a remote island that was once used as illegal biological testing grounds for life-term prisoners. When we get our first glimpses of what remains of these prisoners, the effects are stomach churning.Also, the Canadian woods used as location used are pleasingly bleak and bathed in winter crispness. To their credit, the undergrads do many things right here; it's just that the walking dead keep on coming. There are many, many zombies in popular entertainment currently, and as is often the case, their ubiquity has reduced their effectiveness. Rather like the found footage genre, there are still effective stories to be told, but you have to search for them.I enjoyed '13 Eerie' a lot. Although it is all played straight, I suspect the effects planners had a great deal of fun conjuring up the imaginative ways in which people/zombies are impaled, stabbed, mangled and injured. The results are joyfully convincing. The ending is especially amusing – when the credits come crashing in, it's hard not to laugh out loud. Intentional horror is rare in these kind of films, and it works very well here.The zombie creatures are very detailed and suitably gruesome, but their torso/body-suits occasionally let them down, betraying a certain bulkiness or fold in the fabric. But they are a force to be reckoned with – they run, snarl and hiss, indicating their infection has given them a certain primal ferocity. On a personal note, I have watched a lot of horror films recently that have struck me as banal and formulaic and it made me wonder if I was becoming over-familiar, or tired of the genre. Luckily for me, an enjoyable experience like '13 Eerie' has restored my faith and enthusiasm.

amesmonde A group of university students go on a field exam unbeknownst that the island was previously used for biological experiments on life-term prisoners.Lowell Dean director of the recent excellent 1980s throwback WolfCop, made his feature film debut with this little spin on the zombie genre. 13 Eerie is packed with nicely executed gross out effects, chewed off figures, exploding heads, torn neck flesh bites and like. While the cast are effective enough it's really Nick Moran's stone head Larry character and Katharine Isabelle as Megan that run the show and leave an impression. The set up mirrors Head Hunters as a group of FBI students go to a secluded island, only here it's a group of six forensic undergrads who examine set up crime scenes with real bodies from the morgue.The film benefits from an on location shoot, much of it at dusk, as the cadavers come back to life which gives it that required eerie (no pun intended) atmosphere. The score works best when it has the base and beats of the likes of Carpenter and Frizzi. The makeup and special effects are great, Dean offers some moments reminiscent of the music video Thriller as the infected burst through the floorboards and Fulici's Zombi with an extreme eye splinter scene, there's plenty of zombie-like homages as it comes to an action setup closing.It's a fine debut for the young director Dean with a novel staging for a virus zombie-like flick helping it avoid the usual cliché pitfalls.

hudsonda4 First off, I love horror movies and especially the zombie genre. It's probably my favorite sub genre of horror and I would rather watch it than anything else. Just needed to tell you that so you could understand just how horrible this movie is.This movie is beyond horrible. The 'zombies' are done terribly. The second one you see has perfect movie actor teeth. The 'authority figure that won't listen' is overdone so much that it's completely unbelievable.The acting? It wasn't what i would cal the worst I've ever seen in any C movie, until it got to the first death scene, at which point it won first place for laughably bad acting of any movie ever.The premise behind the zombies? I have no idea because I made it exactly 31 min 57 seconds into the movie before i had to turn it off.Don't subject yourself to this garbage.

GL84 Arriving at a remote campsite for a class project, forensics students learn the area was a ground for dumping toxic waste years ago when the patients of a prison experiment found there revive and vicious attack them, forcing them to get out alive.This turned out to be quite an enjoyable and entertaining zombie effort with a lot to like about it. One of the better features is the zombies themselves, which starts off nicely with their introduction as another supposed part of their field trip only for a nasty surprise to await them, also manages to work rather well with them within the film itself. Deformed beyond belief with some rather nasty looking wounds, exposed veins, charred skin and a decomposed look that comes off really well and is truly frightening at times, especially with the way their actions are involved. Managing to incorporate the more ravenous side of their behavior makes for a rather imposing villain here as they relentlessly charge after their victims and don't seem interested in anything other than devouring their prey which makes them formidable enemies in here. As well, this provides the film with plenty of fantastic gore scenes throughout as they initially strike against the group before getting the tables turned, so there's plenty to like from the first attacks out on the lake or in the tangled, twisting cluster of tree-branches that really signals where the film hits its stride in terms of attacks. Surprisingly, this also affords the movie numerous amounts of high-end action scenes as the sleeping shack encounter, command-center ambush and the extended, thrilling high-way escape on the prison bus are all extremely fun and exciting action sequences that are just immensely entertaining and pack more of a punch than expected considering the low-budget that rears it's head from time-to-time. There's a quality running throughout this that really does betray the low-budget roots of this that really sticks out quite noticeably on the devoured bodies that doesn't quite match the rest of the movie and somewhat gives away the film's sources. As well, the opening assignment and getting them out to the area is itself quite dull with the endless time actually setting up the procedures to be conducted rather than having been done beforehand as well as being forced to spend time with the bitter, resentful head of the project who wears thin quite early in the film. Otherwise, there's not a lot wrong with this one.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.
