When it was announced that Pa exploitation legend Cirio H. Santiago (Equalizer 2000, Future Hunters, and Dune Warriors) would helm another explosion ladden apocalypse flick for king of the Bs and long time producer, Roger Corman, the cult community went, not surprisingly, apeshit. Then disater struck the production when Santiago died during filming and Roger Corman put Jim Wynorski in to finish principal photography.

That was 2008. We've been told that the film is done, so where is it? All we've managed to track down form the finished film is this 9 second montage of finished clips - featuring muchas explosions and even a glimpse of Michael Madsen looking a little out of place.

Synopsis:

"After some type of world devastation, an amazon tribe of women led by three sisters is guarding an oasis of water which mercenaries are searching the whole world for, following a legend about a place where water still flows.

Horror fanatics are still buzzing like chainsaws over the Academy Awards’ genre montage. Anywhere there could be a conversation about it online, there was one. Many were upset over the Twilight ‘tweens’ participation, as if their mere presence sent a message about the state of scary in Hollyweird, USA.

A few seemed happy, though, to just get a glimpse of their beloved Evil Dead and Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 if only for a few seconds. But many called the selections generic and thoughtless, demanding the likes of Demons and TerrorVision instead (well, maybe not TerrorVision; that was just me).

How about Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer? Re-Animator? It’s Alive? Tombs of the Blind Dead? Coffin Joe? No list is perfect, but with a bit more care and a phone call to any one of us, the Oscars could have elevated that section into a real scream. Or maybe they...

Somewhere in my near future there is a post-apocalyptic all-nighter happening where I play nothing but the films of Cirio H. Santiago. Santiago's films have brought me much joy over the years and being able to share news of his ongoing love affair with our favorite genre will be missed around here. He was responsible for directing over 75 productions (many for Roger Corman) and producing even more. Recently, Santiago was working on a sequel to Stryker called Road Raiders. I haven't been able to track down any info on how his untimely death might affect the film's production but we'll be sure to keep you posted. Until then, head through the break where you'll find a whole bunch of clips and trailers from his work. I highly encourage you to take a break from your hectic day and dive into the crazy fun worlds of Cirio H. Santiago for a few minutes.
