Three couple of teenager friends Troy, Louisa, Rachel, Derek, Francis and Leticia - plan to celebrate the end of school period in the house of Francis, whose parents will travel in a few hours. However, their trip is postponed and Louisa suggests they party at the abandoned Dayson Chemical Plant. They break in the plant and Troy recalls that many years ago the location was a research facility where a woman had contracted a virus and killed her colleagues. When Louisa finds Troy's jacket full of blood, the group panics and is chased by a half-human creature with steel teeth and claws.
"Death Factory" is a gore collection of clichés. This very low-budget movie is absolutely predictable, with the usual stupid attitudes of the terrifying teens splitting to find an exit instead of staying together; silly dialogs (there is one awfully hilarious when the girl regrets that she has not brought the camera to film a dirty room); ridiculous situations, like for example when Francis and Leticia finds a bed with white sheet in the plant and they make love on it. My vote is four.
Title (Brazil): "Fábrica da Morte" ("Death Factory")

Some teenagers mess around in old factory, a demonic Goth-chick makes them wish they hadn't. That's it in a nutshell, fair enough in itself...
Yep, rented this one just to have a look at schlock princess Tiffany Shepis. This'll be the reason most viewers will give this dullish D.I.Y effort a chance. They'll be backing a loser on several counts unfortunately.
1] Shepis doesn't show any skin. 2} She only shows up in the last act of the film. 3} The movie sucks. The look of the film is ugly, and the acting not especially convincing even for cheap-jack horror. 4} Ron Jeremy in one his pointless cameos, god love him..
Sure, there have been a few gems shot on digital video, this ain't one though. Shepis looks impressive and is scary in her goth get-up ( somewhere between Mindy Clarke in 'Return Of The Living Dead 3' and Mimi Kincade as Angela in the 'Night Of The Demons' movies). The aforementioned are what the director maybe would liked the film to be like but just can't manage it on his budget. Yes, there's splatter but it's fairly ineffective. Yes, there's sex and topless scenes but they are cheesily filmed and repetitive.
I'm not a complete meanie, I'll give a couple of stars purely because I truly love the genre even the fringe efforts, and it's great to see film-makers getting out there a having a go with whatever resources they can muster. All power to 'em. But parting with your hard earned to buy or rent something of this calibre is another question, and I feel even the die-hard splatter fans would regret doing so.

Six friends decide to party it up in an abandoned warehouse factory unaware that Alexa (Scream Queen Tiffany Shepis), a former factory worker who upon catching a virus via an experimental biological drug, mutates into a monster with an insatiable appetite for human blood, is still stalking the halls of the deserted place. Will they be able to survive the night?? or a better question would be would you even care??
I'm keeping my review spoiler free so I won't really answer the first question, but the second one gets a resounding no because most of the characters are bland, annoying & unlikable walking clichés. This low-budget DTV film seems very content on merely going through the motions adding nothing new to the slasher sub-genre that one hasn't seen over a million times before. Also worthy to note that if you're renting this as either a Shepis or Ron Jeremy fan, Tiffany's not in it that often at all and Jeremy has even less screen time (basically not much more than a glorified cameo) I usually can get into a cool B-movie horror film, but this one was too badly acted and just lame. Some mildly convincing gore save it from being completely unwatchable but that's about it.
Eye Candy: Allison Beal & Rhonda Jordan both get topless
My Grade: D

This is a quality no budget flick. Really good especially from BRAIN DAMAGE FILMS. They usually manage to put some crap out there(Blood Sisters), but this was really good(considering). The acting will win no awards but there are tits. And most importantly the Blood/Gore FX by Rom Karkos ka(?) are excellent. Really well done. Brad Sykes is growing film by film. This is excellent for SOV fare. His ZOMBIE CHRONICLES sucked. Just bad. DEATH FACTORY is worth the rent or if you love these lowbudget SOV movies then it might be worth the buy. ***1/2

Total junk. I can't believe I sat through this nonsense. I am typically a fan of B-movies, but this garbage could not hold my attention what so ever. "Teens" head into abandoned warehouse for some spooky fun, a strange mechanical-dominatrix rps them to shreds. Wow! Not you don't have to waste you time watching it. I think I've had canker sores that were more appealing than this. If you are looking for a little b-movie fun I would try to find an obscure Italian zombie flick, at least a majority of those had a budget. Oh yeah! Just a side note for you goth-fetish types, the mechanical-dominatrix monster is not at all sexy so save it.

A bunch of teenagers decide to go to an abandoned factory to drink beer/smoke weed/have sex and they get locked in with a hideous monster with an urge to kill.It seems that a mutant was created by an accident in the factory years ago,stalks them and kills them."Death Factory" is actually my first experience with horror movies made by Brad Sykes and I hope that it won't be my last.The plot is dumb,the acting is horrible,but there is plenty of gore to keep splatter freaks happy.A horror regular Tiffany Shepis plays the monster which looks almost like the cross between female zombie from "Return of the Living Dead 3" and Freddy Krueger.Ron Jeremy has a small cameo as a bum,who is quickly killed.The main heroine Lisa Jay is likable and has a wonderful body.5 out of 10.

This movie is a really good work. It shows that it is a low budget flick, but it has very decent acting (not oscar material, but very decent nonetheless), a very good, appropriate musical score and a way better plot than many movies with a bigger budget. The characters' deaths are not very realistic though, which is the only thing I found disappointing. With better death scenes, and better special effects, this could have been a really good, scary movie.

As a fan of low-budget, out-of-the-way movies (especially those that are unintentionally hilarious), I was pleasantly surprised by Death Factory. Don't get me wrong -- it isn't Oscar worthy by any stretch of the imagination, but they did manage to make a movie that was watchable and, for the most part, entertaining. Much like other low-budget horror/sci-fi flicks, this is best viewed with some buddies and some beer.

For an ultra-low budget flick, I was impressed. The pacing was good and the boring dialog was kept to a minimum. The effects are cheap but bloody. The producers were just looking to make a splatter movie and they succeeded with what little they had. Its worth a rental.

I have to admit, I really did like the Slasher, Alexa. It did not hurt that it was played by Tiffany Shepis from those Troma flicks.
And of course the great Ron Jeremy makes a cameo which gives this movie an extra star just for that.
Speaking of porn, I love the fact that this straight-to-video, obviously made on video horror flick had two nude scenes and one long love scene. It felt like a safety net just in case everyone thought the violence sucked.
I can see that considering they used buckets of blood and chop cut editing to create the gore they could not afford to do on camera. Most of the shoe string budget went into the slasher's costume which is not half bad.
Though the characters were very stock, from the virgin protagonist to the jive taking black dude.
I definitely like this movie for what it was.

I saw this 3 nights ago. Jeff Ryan, and Lisa Jay put out a dynamic Acting job. The "girl" was twisted, and unimpressive, BUT...her arm puppet steel contraptions were impressive. Ultra low Budget, (even a orange Electrical cord is showing in many scenes..but what the heck..being shot in 4 days... what are you going to pay attention to? The "couple where the guy is constantly laughing..were right on target with their performance, and their love scene look VERY real. all in all....HELLS HIGHWAY with RON JEREMY was better. and the Best Male actor in Hell's Highway was Mr. Grey. (also the hottest) But Ron Jeremy as usual, puts in a GREAT cameo. not bad for a budget that was probbaly 40.00

Six teens decide to party in an old abandon factory. Hey it don't matter that there was secret experiments being carried out and one of the nurses was infected with a virus and starts slaughtering people. It is not long before the teens realise that the horrifying events of years ago, were not just a story and the nurse is still alive!!!!
A good cast of people at the beginning of their careers. Lisa Jay and Karla Zamudio have gone on to roles in TV. Rhoda Jordan and Tiffany Shepis are established scream queens in many a low budget film.
Directed by Brad Sykes, who has come a long way from the Camp Blood films, two years previously.
This film was a winner for me and ticked all the boxes of what one would expect. Tiffany Shepis plays the monster Alexa, and this really was the highlight of the film, for me. A cross between Freddy Kruger and one of the zombies from Return of the living dead 3. This film is lively and never outstays it welcome. It delivers on the gory goods and even has one of those famous cameo's from Ron Jeremy, what more could you ask for !!!

I've seen some low-budget stinkers before, but this one took the cake! As I was watching it, I kept thinking of "Scream," which is such a vastly superior slasher flick compared to "Death Factory." I laughed even harder when Ron Jeremy showed up. The characters were cookie-cutter slasher-film victims, and the "creature" looked more like a reject from the Freddy Krueger School Of Slashing. The acting wasn't too terrible, but when a "horror" film makes you laugh more than scream or jump, then it's a total waste of time. I watched all the previews on the DVD, too, and those films looks like bombs, as well. I really would have hated to be on the clean-up crew for these films!
Death Factory is about a group of young people hanging out in an old abandoned factory but there is a deformed young woman with blades on her fingers slashing them up one by one. Its simple but if you like low budget slashers then I would recommend it.

Havign watched a mountain's worth of independent, straigh-to-video horror films, I'm well aware of the problems many of them suffer from. I'm pleased to say that DEATH FACTORY rises above so many of its genre companions as a technically well-made flick. Lighting, sound and camera-work is all better than I'd expect to usually find. The acting is pretty average, with a cameo from Ron Jeremy. The film's biggest short-fall is a rather weak script that never breaks out of the genre's stereotypes. It was still a fun ride though, with a cool killer, tons of gore and even some nudity. Should please most horror fans.
I think I am burning out on these low budget horrors, there are so many of them now.
This one fall in the middle of the pack.
The acting is OK, ranging from believable to over the top. Tiffany Shepis as the creature is pretty scary.
The gore was poor, lots of blood, but no organs or chunks to speak of, and very repetitive.Lets face it these low budgets are all about the gore, so even tho the acting was a bit better then normal for this type of movie, the lack of quality gore put the movie in the overall 5 to 7 range out of 10.
A typical low budget B or a pretty good ultra low budget B.

the movie was decent for a low budget junk flick.... But that guy Jason Flowers ( he played Troy ) was by-far the most entertaining person in the movie. And he could act. This guy is gunna be a big star one day.
good job cuz.
