Good Points: Well, it's cheap and nasty. It's also nice to have another film produced by J.R. Bookwalter. The special effects are also reasonably good, with some creative angles on the gore.
Bad Points: Very poor acting and storyline. Terrible ending to the film with a ridiculous attempt at suspense throughout.
General comments: Dead & Rotting - Synopsis:
Three prankster buddies release the wrath of an aged witch, Abigail, when they become unwitting accomplices to the murder of her son. Scheming in anger, the witch transforms herself into a nubile young woman and seduces the three friends. The trysts bear seed to the men's own destruction as Abigail uses their ill-born spawn to create avenging ghouls.
The DVD was released through 'Prism Leisure' so you should be able to pick it up at a budget price. Director David P. Barton has created a rather tongue-firmly-in-cheek, trauma-style horror film here, with gushings of unnecessary gore and amusing special effects. The budget for the film is a standard J.R. Bookwalter budget - very low. This only seems to add to the film's charm.
It's hard to say if the film's either good or bad. It certainly is entertaining. But you really have to be into this sort of B-movie style horror to get anything out of it.
The DVD is released on Region 2 PAL, with no extra features except some trailers. The running time is a respectable 73mins. Enjoy!
