On Sunday night, I treated myself to some of the true
independence of Tromaville with the ultra low budget flick Kill. While not
perfect, I decided to stay in that surreal low budget arena with something from
old faithful Charles Band, in 2012s The Dead Want Women.
Plot/ Beginning at a stylish mansion in the roaring 1920's,
a socialite, flappers, and the men who love them come to their ultimate demise.
These ghosts continue to haunt the mansion throughout the decade. Now they've
come back to haunt and chase after a new generation of beautiful girls.
First off, anyone expecting a masterpiece should be
shot in the head for they must be zombies already. I mean with a title like The
Dead Want Women and being a Charles Band / Full Moon flick, you should have a
good idea on what you are about to watch. Honestly, this was about what I
expected when I picked it up, complete with uneven acting, cheesy effects, an
outrageous storyline and boobs (and I was even shocked at how soon they
appeared on the screen. On top of those normal items, this one had a solid
soundtrack and decent cinematography as well. Sure, it was far from coherent, lacked
a lot plot and some of the performances were wretched, but to me that was all
right. Sure this was not a good film or pure cheesefest and I have seen better
from Band and Full Moon, but it was an interesting journey and one that I glad
to have watched.
