Voodoo Curse : Legbas Rache (2009) – Sefan Svahn.

This entertainingly gory German S.O.V Zombie horror concerns Bremen's screamingly suburban, occult-obsessing, pseudo-Goths, and one especially fateful evening, wherein their hedonistic plans for a boozy, cannabis-hazed graveyard conjuring, quite literally, goes to hell in a blood-soaked handbasket! Unexpectedly, there's more pros than cons here, a MAJOR f'n win are Mr. Svahn's gorgeously grotesque-looking, gut-rippingly righteous zombies, his FX work is consistently excellent. Performances are shockingly decent, and the attack zombie 'blah' narrative is certainly no better, or worse, than a million others of its ilk. Sadly, this adherence to D.I.Y splatter dogma means that it occasionally becomes bogged down in the very same cliched morass as a million other lo-fi, dead-headed splatter flicks.

As a huge fan of inventive Italian splatter, and Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things, I absolutely believe polymath film-maker Stefan Svahn's stalwart attempts to bastardize them for his own low budget horror opus proved entirely apropos. Voodoo Curse : Legbas Rache frequently delivers some righteously lo-fi'd gore blasting, tittersome stoner repartee, and a hellaciously gruesome, slow movingly zombie-clotted climax! All that being said, Svahn's Wiccan bloodbath still suffers from an obviously deficient budget, and a painfully derivative text. As a final note, I really must credit the capable indie film makers for their hard work, dedication, and altogether honourable commitment to the greatly revered movie ministry of awesome S.O.V chunk-blowing!!!
