Vioundon One hour and a half of nothing

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

blumdeluxe "The Thirsty Dead" tells the story of several young women kidnapped in Manila and brought into the jungle to become victims of an immortality cult. When one of its leaders falls in love with his victim, he beguns to question his actions and regrets.This is probably one of the movies that was designed to be scandalous by depicting semi-dressed girls. Nowadays, you can barely say that a lot of sexuality plays a role here, which offers the chance to focus more on the storyline. There are some logical errors and I wouldn't call the plot a whole lot creative but to be fair it delivers a stringent story that is not worse than many other low-budget action/adventure movies. I even liked some elements of the production and I think with a little more focus on those this could have been a decent film.All in all you shouldn't expect too much from this piece, however if you are looking for distortion and are willing to accept a rather fantastic plot, you can still have some fun with this film.

Leofwine_draca I had the misfortune of ordering this one through a mail-order company. At least it was second-hand and it only cost a few quid. The title made it sound good (and I'm a sucker for anything with the word 'dead' in it) and there was even a picture of a guy drinking blood from a bottle on the cover. When I came to watch it though, this scene didn't actually appear in the film, which is a cheapo Filipino horror.THE THIRSTY DEAD is about a woman who gets kidnapped and taken to the jungle by "goons in hooded robes" (that's what it says on the back of the box - I'm being serious here), where she meets a load of people with brown faces who are supposed to be zombies. As the box puts it, "She's terrified of a horrible death at the hands of her capturers." I take it the author's first language wasn't English. The major special effect in this film is, as far as I could understand, a living severed head in a box. Sadly you can't actually see through the red water in the box so the effect is rendered redundant.There is one imaginative scene where a man decays rapidly and turns into a skeleton (rather reminiscent of Lee's Dracula demise though, I feel) but that's nowhere near enough to save the film. This escaped from the Philippines where it only costs a couple of bucks to churn out trash like this. They shouldn't have bothered. Avoid like the plague, unless you want to turn into one of the dead yourself.

Wyrmis This movie's main flaw seems to be that it takes itself too seriously. Its skirting around camp, taken in consideration with some moments that seem quite earnestly acted and scripted (however poorly it worked out), becomes an unintentional side-effect. This negates 90% of the reason to watch this movie. It is cheaply made on top of this which detracts even further in that rather than go for a more natural look, they tried for some sort of sci-fi exotica kind of thing and ended up with a office dress party.The plot works fair enough, though it probably would have worked more had they dropped the horror pretenses and moved straight into action/adventure style territory. There is no new ground here.The acting is not always wooden, and has some okay moments, but is largely inconsistent. Signs of grief or panic are often achieved by a far off look or a hand biting scene.All in all, the biggest flaw here (besides a low budget, which they could have worked around, I have seen too many good low budget movies) is that they are tapping into a 1950's era schlock flick flavor, and somehow trying to keep it fresh and end up with a poor mix altogether.

missmonochrome 2 beauty queens, a stewardess and a stripper, are taken hostage to a remote jungle, where they are held by a group of blood drinking immortals.Oddly enough none of our captives seem too worried about it in the first half of the film, blindly following their captors with giggly enthusiasm usually seem in infatuated schoolgirls. Perhaps this is because these mutton dressed as lamb (with the exception of the token Filipino girl, whom actually looks like the young girl she's supposed to be playing)are desperate for attention from any shirtless men they can find, blood drinkers or not.Only after our heroine (who has a face like a badly used cart horse)is anointed as the prophesied queen and begins falling in love with the high priest of the cult and discovers their love for the red stuff does anyone panic.She refuses to join her lover (the living embodiment of Disco Stu, complete with man perm, leisure suit and medallion) in the sanguined feast, pissing off the high priestess in the process. (The priestess' overbite was so severe she could eat corn on the cob through a picket fence, so her being angry and not smiling was a plus) The girls mount a daring escape, with the help of disco stu and one of the drained dry zombies the cult uses as slaves. Stu dies (not so) tragically, the most irritatingly sex starved of our quartet of ladies meets her death in a rat pit, and the remaining 3 escape the jungle and fade back into the (deserved)obscurity they came from.I'm giving this a two for the sheer bravery blended with idiocy of the filmmakers for thinking that a rated PG horror flick was somehow going to become even a mild success.
