05/30/2012 and interesting independent film. Not for everyone but def interesting. See more 07/09/2011 I wish I could have turned this one off. Now I'll never get those 90 minutes back. See more 06/18/2011 Spoiler alert. I've never shied away from a really bad horror movie (Zombiez, Ghosts Don't Exist, The Sick and The Dead) and this one didn't disappoint, thank goodness. It was 87 minutes of being on an edge of plots but they were way to far in the distance to recognize them. There were three storylines; 1) the couple whose marriage was not going well because the dude was on the computer all the time while a zombie apocalypse was going on outside (later the computer became an alien life form that eventually sprouted roots and killed his wife who dreamed of dancing with zombies), 2) the vampire couple who captured a female to feed on but she turned out to be some anti-vampire, 3) a kick-butt girl who is a wannabe Alice (from Resident Evil) and gets hooked up with the Anti-Christ. None of the three storylines actually crossed paths, except that they were living in a zombie apocalypse. It was 87 minutes of incredible lack of direction, no plot and some really weird scripting. If you like movies with no plot and no clear ending, this is a great movie for you. One of the best lines in the movie, âThereâ(TM)s m-f arm bones in the front yard!â? I gave this one star because the videography/camera angles and video transitions are well done. This is a keeper for my âCrappy Moviesâ? collection.

See more 09/27/2010 Es una película rara, pero no por ello deja de ser interesante a ratos, la forma de contarse, me recuerda en su estética a películas de serie B de los '80, no se, a mi me gusto y tiene su encanto... See more 09/01/2010 This low-budget horror flick has everything. Zombies, vampires, a computer run mad, the Antichrist and an insane priest. It's a smorgasbord of horror and, like most smorgasbords, what it has in quantity it lacks in quality. Against the backdrop of a zombie holocaust, three sets of survivors try to keep surviving. First, there's a vampire couple who is struggling to find living victims. The man of the house, who tries and fails to emulate Samuel Jackson, brings home a woman for him and his wife to drain daily of blood. But there's something wrong with her; she's poisonous to vampires somehow. The more they drink her blood, the weaker they get. Then there's a woman who rescues a mother and her child from the zombies. We learn that the woman's mate turned into a zombie and ate her baby. We learn that the boy is the Antichrist and that he's behind the ongoing end of the world, and that he's being pursued by a cruel priest. The woman kicks zombie ass repeatedly and teams up with the, who delivers what is easily the best line in the movie about not wanting the world to end. The Antichrist, it turns out, really likes fast food. Finally, there's a net nerd and his dissatisfied girlfriend, holed up in their apartment. The nerd writes bad horror fan-fiction while the girlfriend watches bad horror movies. The nerd's gotten a new processor in the mail which, it turns out, is powered by absorbing living things. Much CAT5 cable ensues. With all of this going on, one wouldn't think "Edges of Darkness" could drag, but in its jumping back and forth between the stories -- which never connect -- it gets badly lost. The acting is sub-par throughout, and some of the scenes make no sense at all (e.g., before we find out the vampire couple are vampires, they express sympathy for a neighbor who gets eaten by zombies. Are they supposed to be nice vampires who kidnap women and slowly drain them of blood?) The special effects and makeup are done in by the film's lack of a budget, and the whole bit with the priest chasing the 12 year old Antichrist never works for a moment. There are enough good ideas here for three short films, despite the clumsy execution. Trying to cram it all into one feature-length video, though, detracts from all three. There's too much going on, none of it done very well, so in the end it's just a mess. See more Read all reviews
