Sabbath

With mankind entering an apocalypse, the residents of a small town find themselves battling a series of supernatural obstacles with a demonic figure unleashing hordes of zombies after them and forcing the few survivors to band together to defeat the onslaught of creatures.

This one here certainly has some decidedly decent elements to offer. One of the more enjoyable features here is the small-town setting that manages to effectively convey the sense of the apocalypse effectively by featuring a small, isolated community. The scenes early on where they come together at the farmhouse is quite nice at setting up the exploits of the situation as they come across the first zombies and hide out together. Coming as it does following the early scenes featuring the reaper figure in the graveyard attacking the zombies himself, there's a fine early set-up of the small-town coming across the creatures which goes nicely with the appearance of the teleporting zombies that float in and disappear throughout the film. That leads into the spectacular scenes in the final half where the hordes have been built into a far more formidable and imposing force that requires them to shoot their way to safety, in essence turning into a solid and continuous action scene as they try to get out of the house with the encroaching horde coming after them battling through the hordes outside the cemetery getting to safety and requiring more fun to be had with the attempts to finally put them down. Since they come back to life again for the second round of attacks despite being initially put down, there's the fun of going after them once again which prolongs this quite nicely and really enhancing the gore factor of this one. These here make this one decent, but there's still a few flaws throughout this one. One of the biggest issues here is the fairly large and obvious budgetary restrictions on display, making it nearly impossible to take this one seriously with all the incredibly lousy effects- work and designs featured here. The CGI is incredibly bad and rushed, barely making it look realistic and always making itself be known that there are low-budget effects in here, from the kills to the bloodshed and the means of enhancing many scenes throughout here. Likewise, the fact that there's so many rather obscure and confusing scenes here due to the low-budget nature, from the scenes of the dark angels floating around on the outskirts of the film and when the reaper figure goes after the zombies themselves makes for a series of really shoddy effects, while the confined, cramped feel of this one gives that off incredibly well. The other big problem to be found here is the fact that this one just tends to go around with a complex, convoluted plot line that has no chance of being resolved with the short, frantic tempo throughout here, for the inclusion of the reaper and the dark angels gives this a highly-religious setup that never gets explained, there's never anything given about what the wailing figures are supposed to be that continuously pop up in the film and the connection between everything is utterly muffled and left unexplained. These are somewhat detrimental as a whole here and make this one a challenging experience, even if it's decent enough otherwise.

Rated R: Graphic Language, Graphic Violence and mild drug use.

Being one of Ms. Ashley Gallo's first films working alongside the very talented director William Victor Schotten, and the other cast and crew, I felt that this horror film was not half bad. There were times were I did laugh out loud and other times I would be on the edge of my seat. I will admit some props used in the film were used poorly, such as using a spry as y bottle of hairspray to rid off a zombie. A can of aerosol would seem to have made more sense, but than again, it is just a movie and they were originally made to b watched and enjoyed. so with that being said, while watching " Sabbath" keep in mind the budget it had, new faces, and have some faith in these actors and Schotten Filmworks.... I am and always will b a big fan and have seen them flourish into something amazing. Don't let a couple of bad reviews b your judge. See your yourself!!

I couldn't believe that this movie promised so much in terms of blood, gore, and nudity.... I had initially thought that the movie may have been some sort of joke or spoof, but it turns out that it was nowhere near intentional comedy.

NUDITY: ....In the film I found absolutely no nudity, at least nothing that was notable. I wouldn't have wanted to see the female character naked anyway, she was quite different from what I'd call "pretty".

BLOOD & GORE: ....CHEESEY! I could barely handle the cheese of the blood and gore. It was something terrible. One scene it appears as though the director decided to use obviously plastic props, instead of just using some cow intestines, similar to NOTLD, which is a thousand times better directed than this.

THE EFFECTS: Super super fake. He uses a cheap MS Paint style CG to generate the effects of the baseball launcher/spud gun thing, and then he uses CG to show "blood" coming from the zombies heads. LMFAO terrible.

Overall I personally give it a (negative) -10 out of 10 stars. This movie is so much worse than Zombie Nation (really really crappy), and I didn't think that was possible.
