i've been a fan of MST3K for as long as i can remember.... i've seen quite a number of episodes, but it's been years since i had seen one and when this popped up OnDemand, i figured maybe it was time to hop back in the saddle.... (wow, that was a long sentence.).... and as much as i love zombies, i figured it was a no brainer.... (no pun intended.).... so i invested the hour and a half and re-introduced myself to the boys.... i fogot how cheesy the inbetween stuff was.... but that's part of the charm of the show.... it's so homegrown.... now, as far as this episode went.... well.... i can't say it was genius.... there was one particular part that i laughed so hard my sides hurt.... but that was it as far as the laugh out loud moment went.... maybe i wasn't in the right mood.... perhaps this just wasn't their best episode.... who knows....? it just didn't hit the mark....in the movie, the plot revolves around a young man who's killed at the prime of his life and is resurrected by a voodoo priestess to have his revenge on those who killed him.... there's also a subplot about the young man's father who was also senselessly murdered.... which all of it kind of ties together at the end.... that's about the entire plot....
the zombie parts are lame.... the chase scene in the health club is worth the price of admission.... because who doesn't want to see a preppy/punk girl chased around by a zombie with a baseball bat....? am i right....? the deaths are sub par.... it does have the distinguishing honor of having Adam West as a lead character.... yes, Batman himself.... he's chessy as ever.... and he plays the chief of police.... who's gun is silly.... all in all in all in all it's a mere 2 out of 5 star attempt for the boys of MST3K.... not their best, but not their worst.... one for die hard fans only, i would say....
if you like this, watch: some of the other episodes.... there's a ton of them available OnDemand on Netflix
