    Short, Sweet and Misty Mundae

    There's not much you can say about an eight-minute extended music video. You have a concept based on a novel by Greg Lamberson, set to rock music... then you add some cheesy zombie makeup, and throw in Misty Mundae topless.

    Lamberson informs me that it's not all that difficult to get Misty Mundae, but true or not, she was the driving force behind my enjoyment of this video. The music was good, the blood mixed with cocaine was a nice concept I hadn't really seen before, but Misty Mundae rocks my socks off... ever since I saw her in Lucky McKee's "Sick Girl". So, that works for me. And at a mere eight minutes, this video is easy to enjoy.

    The make-up on johnny looks pretty cool, that's about it.

    I know this is just a short film, but I was expecting a little more than an extended music video before I watched it, but that's pretty much all it is. No gore, some blood splatters on the walls, that's about it. Mildly entertaining, but other than that, this movie really doesn't have any redeeming qualities other than the make-up FX for undead Johnny which looked pretty good.

    I really don't have a lot to say about this one because there's really not that much to it. Johnny goes for a drive with his girlfriend and buddy, buddy kills Johnny to get with his girl, Johnny comes back from the dead to exact his brutal, off-screen revenge, simple as that.

    4/10
