Bloodlust Zombies (2011 Video)
5/10
Flawed, But Clearly Has Its Moments
5 July 2011
A military weapons manufacturer creates a chemical weapon that causes victims to become blood-lusting killers. A lab accident causes the building to go into lock-down and the employees are trapped inside with the crazed killers.

The first thing I noticed about this film was the terrible acting, especially from the man who plays Bobby Lee (Robert Heath). But once you adjust to that (if you need to adjust), the movie is really quite fun. It is clear that the point of it all is to be a horror comedy, perhaps in a similar vein as "The Janitor". And while few films can reach the level of "The Janitor", this one has its moments.

I need to talk about Alexis Texas' breasts (and more). I did not know who Texas was going into this film. I am more of a Dani Woodward fan. But as a 4-time AVN Award winner, I figured they had to showcase her talents somehow. And I was right. If you came to this movie to see Texas in action, you will get it (up to a point). Which raises an interesting question -- should porn stars going mainstream give audiences what they expect (like here) or try to really show their acting chops (like Marilyn Chambers in "Rabid", for example)?

Texas says, "I really learned a lot from this experience." I am very curious what that would be. I suspect a low-budget film is not much different than porn. A bit more acting, and you get doused in fake blood, but otherwise what was there to learn? Maybe that you can call something "champagne" even though it is Andre brand? Or that the classic "Girl From Ipanema" in the elevator joke never fails to make me laugh?

The best part of the film for me was the temp, played by Lauren Todd. I did not care much for her potty mouth, but she was quirky and spiced the film up. She was unconventionally cute and just had emotion and spunk that the other characters did not have. She makes me, a former philosophy major, wonder, do rent-a-cops have a "duty" or "moral obligation" to kill zombies? I would say no.

Why did the film give thanks to the Foo Fighters? Maybe this is something better left unknown.
