Haeckel's Tale

"Me and my zombies like to play this game, some call it Amtrak, some call it the train."

God damn this is disappointing. John McNaughton is much more my idea of a "Master of Horror", and it starts off so promisingly with the Frankenstein references and the fun supporting performance by Jon Polito... then it gets more and more silly, to the point where I was actually laughing out loud. (At, *not* with.) Many horror films have a Big Reveal where what's really going on finally becomes clear; the one here is derivative, and really quite tacky. A lot of talent failed on this one

So-so, pretty much saw the ending coming, was sort of surprised they actually showed it.

Clive Barker and Mick Garris: two of the most juvenile and perverse minds in horror today combine to bring us, as other users have pointed out, zombie gangbang. On the plus side there's some fantastic atmosphere and set design and the whole thing is pretty damn spooky and interesting.

The idea of raising the dead, just to have a zombie gang bang, that...that is something that only Clive Barker could come up with. During the first half hour I really thought it would turn out good, but...you know, the whole zombie gang bang thing happened. It least the ending was kind of funny.

Maybe the Frankenstein element suggest a sci-fi that actually doesn't develop the way expected, but I enjoyed the idea of a scientist trying to find the secret to come back to life and the way they story developes finally. Has some ups and downs, but the final part was satisfying.

A very mediocre film featuring sex, gore and horror which are staples of Clive Barker's works. It starts off well before becoming pretty humdrum.

I really love the style of "MoH" series. Mediocre acting, dialogue and, well, almost everything. But sincerity and originality always sells me. This time emancipation wins, including male harem and female initiated necrophilia (how's that even possible). And movie always seems more respectable when it does have a narrator.

Zombies sex = good enough for me.
