Revenant

3.5 stars; both good and bad
I watch a lot of B movies. Typically, I segment them on the basis of watchable vs. unwatchable, original vs. derivative, then rank them based on budget and the inherent restrictions of the budget. Not a science but it works for me and helps me decide what movies I rent would be worth owning.

This is a low budget movie that was filmed a couple years ago (just coming out on dvd). It is definitely watchable and somewhat original however the characters are not fleshed out enough (no pun intended even though this is a "vampire" movie) and honestly it get's fairly boring near the end. It's meant to be a dark comedy, though it's not really funny. Worth a rental watch if you watch these types of movies but I can't see myself owning it.

Not bad at all
Don't think Zombie only! it's more like a zombie/vampire hybrid, which was quite nice to see. especially since it was unexpected....sorry. either way, the acting was suprisingly good, the effects were good and the storyline was very original. i was overall very pleased with the flick and i recommend it. the only problem i had with the movie is that i felt it should have been longer and had a more involved storyline with the original characters. but they made time for an elaborate ending which i thought was hilarious, ironic, and could possible but unlikely pose an oppurtunity for a sequel.

i won't give anything away, so buy it, rent it, borrow it, or steal it. hope this helps.

thought it was totally original
i really liked ut. after seeing all the horrible b movies that amazon seems to like to list and offer, this really was top notch. never seen anything like it, very original. i nice change of pace from the usual "number 2" movies offered by amazon
