Bachelor Party in the Bungalow of the Damned (2008)

The Age of Commercialism

How sad is this?

Boring

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

'Bachelor Party in the Bungalow of the Damned' is another 'Brain Damage wonder'. If you are somehow familiar with a 'products' they release, you already know what to expect. I usually try to avoid any BD features whenever possible however, sometimes you just see the title, cool DVD cover and can't resist, especially if the price is low. Well after watching this piece of garbage I would really like to have my 3GBP back. I mean, you can buy a beer or a cheeseburger for that amount of money and at least you won't regret doing this! Aside from the cool title, everything else is on the lowest possible level here. Cinematography is as bad as it can be, acting is non existent and those amateurs extremely annoying(hell they even have Lloyd Kaufman in a completely moronic cameo). Cover says, there are gonna be monsters, strippers(means nudity!) - no way! There is only one scene with a laughable makeup, few fake fangs(so called vampires), few bits of cgi blood(done absolutely horrible) and there are two shots of naked breasts alright but the owners of those breasts are so horribly ugly that you won't care at all. Possibly the best thing about this crap is music - no, It's not good by any means but at least it sounds like a music not a poor substitute for it like in the most of no budget 'movies'. I wish there would be 0 in IMDb rating, in this case I really do. Because atrocities like this should never be made, never. Please do yourself a favor and try to avoid this movie and if you happen to pay for it, you are eternally doomed - just like me.

A group of friends gather together for a bachelor party only to become fodder for three 'demon' strippers.First off, this movie was made for practically no money. That being said, I kind of enjoyed it more than a lot of mainstream horror films. It reminded me of the fun trash that we used to expect from Troma on a regular basis (Kaufman has as cameo). The acting was bad, but not the worst that I've seen. Some shoddy CGI makes an appearance but I thought that it actually added to the cheese factor. The editing and continuity is a nightmare but, as I said before, cheese factor.This movie is NOT for everyone or even most people. But I was surprised to get a few chuckles out of it and it wasn't as boring as most independent horror seems to be. Movies don't always have to be good to be fun.

'Bachelor Party in the Bungalow of the Damned' - What a title, huh? How could this fail with at least being really fun? I don't know, but it did.The story focuses on a group of thirtysomething guys who head up to the Hamptons to a buddy's bungalow to throw a bachelor party for another friend. Once there, a group of middle-aged, overweight hookers (who look nothing, NOTHING like the girl on the cover. . . not even a little bit!) stop by randomly and give the boys a show. Unfortunately, they're possessed by some type of evil/demonic force and they started to kill the guys off (mostly during sex) one by one.There isn't much to expect from a film like this. Technically, the film isn't the worst I've seen, but it's far from good. The cinematography is strange, it goes from steadicam to shakicam, uses random different filters for no reason whatsoever, doesn't focus properly, etc. It's often too dark to see what's going on, especially in some of the outdoor action sequences. The acting was, for the most part, bad. Sammy (Gregg Aaron Greenberg) was probably the only actor that I could really compliment, mostly because he reminded me of Jeff Anderson from the 'Clerks' movies. But, the flick only cost twenty grand to make and it's a film not made looking for great story or acting or anything of the like. It's basically a way to show off some gore effects, nudity, and have a few laughs. Unfortunately, the gore was really not good at all and looked like something out of a crappy 80s TV show. The nudity was, well, nothing we wanted to see as all three of the hookers/strippers really had nothing to offer (actually, they had TOO much to offer for the most part). There were a few laughs, mainly caused by the ridiculousness of it all, but sometimes the dialogue actually gave a giggle. The movie ran about a half-hour too long and around the 40 minute mark, I was merely counting down the time. I mean, if you're going to put most of the story into the first half, why even have the second half? Give us a break and just cut the movie down and make it a quick watch that we can either enjoy or, if we don't like it, just get over with faster. Since they didn't, it's mostly a bore with very little redemption.Final Verdict: 3/10.-AP3-

Chuck's (Joseph Riker) about to get married to Michelle (Trina Analee) in a few days. His cousin Sammy (Gregg Aaron Greenberg) is put in charge of throwing the bachelor party and gets in contact with a former high school acquaintance - the uptight Gordon (Joe Testa) - who allows them, along with their pals Paulie (Sean Parker) and Fish (Gelu Dan Rusu), to use his uncle's bungalow in the Hampton's as long as they don't trash the place. Three mysterious, leather-clad strippers (Zoe Hunter, Monique Dupree and Kaitlyn Gutkes) show up for the evening's entertainment, drag three of the men into bedrooms and soon reveal themselves to be some kind of vampire-demon-succubi creatures who feast on human flesh. Two of the five men are quickly killed, Chuck is transformed into an undead vampire and Sammy must try to straighten things out before Michelle shows up to share some important news with her future husband.A low-budget effort, for sure, but debuting director Brian Thomson (who also wrote, produced and edited) actually does a fairly good job working within his budget range and giving anyone apt to even rent a title like this in the first place exactly what they want to see. The film is well-paced and, though a bit too dark at times, decently shot for the digital medium. The running time of 77 minutes is about right. There's comedy (some amusing, some not so much), the dialogue isn't nearly as bad as one might expect, characters are drawn fairly well, the cast is appealing for the most part (Greenberg in particular shows real promise) and there's plenty of nudity provided by B-movie Scream Queens Hunter and Dupree. The ending (which utilizes some flashbacks) is also well done. The lynch pin here are some awful, laughable CGI effects, which take it down a notch or two.Overall, it's a pretty fun way to spend an hour or so of your time IF you enjoy B-movies. As long as your not expecting deep, life altering cinema (and who would, based on that title?) and can accept this on its own terms, you should have a pretty good time.
