Bath Salt Zombies

An odd theme that had the potential to be quite funny, but wasn't. Cartoon-style intro was good, but rest of the film appears to be very home-made and poorly directed. Sexy/erotic scenes were pointlessly long. Don't bother watching unless you're just intrigued by the title.

I'm not really sure what film the other reviewers saw. The movie I saw, for the budget, rocked. Some great performances, good soundtrack, nice direction and good editing. Is it a masterpiece? Nope. Is it blood, gore, drugs and gratuitous nudity. Yup. Can it be mistaken for The Shining or Dario Agento movie? Nope. Can you enjoy the living hell out it? Yup.

Seriously, there was some great writing and performances. For the budget they had, the special effects were fine and inventive. My biggest complaint is that the fight at the end went on for far too long. Outside of that, the lack of pretension that the other reviewers apparently expect in their low budget horror films worked in its favor.

I spent $0.99 to watch this on a Roku channel because who can resist blowing a buck on a movie called Bath Salt Zombies? It's literally the best bang for the buck I've gotten in a long time.

This film begins in New York City where a chemist by the name of "Sal" (Dustin Mills) has just made a new batch of the designer drug known as bath salts and given it to a pusher named "Bubbles" (Ethan Holey) to test on the street. Bubbles, being the persuasive marketer that he is, gives a free sample to an addict named "Richie" (Brandon Salkil) with the understanding that if he likes it he can come back and purchase some more. What Bubbles doesn't tell him is that Sal had strengthened the new drug with a powerful chemical stolen from an Army laboratory which also has the benefit of making it extremely addictive as well. In any case, Ritchie is more than happy to try it out and takes it back to his friend's apartment to enjoy. Not long afterward he comes out of his drug-induced stupor to discover that he has blood all over his face and shirt with his buddy's girlfriend lying on the bed partially dismembered and devoured. Yet even though he is initially horrified at what he has done, he still craves more of the drug and rushes to get another sample from Bubbles so that he can share it with some other friends. And then the wave of murders really begin. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film started off relatively well but the low-budget aspects were apparently too much for the director (Dustin Mills) to overcome with the most glaring problem being the audio which was quite erratic in nature. Other major weaknesses included poor acting and extremely bad special effects. And I mean really, really bad special effects. To that extent, other than being used as an example of poor film technique for aspiring directors I cannot recommend this film to anyone and have rated it accordingly.

There's many ups and downs in bath salt zombies, at times it's pretty impressive what they've done with this no budget flick, while in other instances it's pretty apparent that they're filling time until the good stuff can happen again. Judging it as a no budget movie I've certainly seen worse, hell the last half hour is quite good and makes you wonder why the same care and attention wasn't used in the slower moments. Also the sound editing is a huge issue as it's almost non existent. Blaringly loud one minute to super quiet within the same scene. Overall if nothing else this is a good starting point to all those involved, they're definitely on their way up! If they improve on what's here their follow up projects will be worth viewing. It's just too bad they've already burned through this great concept. These are the kinds of remakes that need to happen.

How can I describe this with 10 lines of text? Well this movie should never ever been made! Who ever did the special effects should never be allowed to do them again! Who ever wrote this should be banned for life! Avoid this movie at all costs! The actors are just bad! No other words can describe it. The plot is just down right awful! Cheesie comes to mind on the special effects! I can not ever remember seeing worse effects in my life. Haunted houses are so much better than this movie. What is up with the cop? Where did they get these actors from? I have seen some grade school kids act better than these people! It is best if you just avoided this movie at all costs. You will never ever get your time back that you wasted on this movie!
