Zombel (2001) – Al Spicher.
A recently zombified male introduces Al Spicher's boundlessly gory D.I.Y zombie chunkblower Zombel, kindly informing viewers that his murderer, a prototypically cracked scientist plans to weaponize the dead as his very own zombie army. This specific S.O.V milieu is a familiar one, actor chums in rudimentary make-up, gratuitous, home-made gore, cursory plot, patently unlicensed usage of heavy metal, and lurch-core attack zombies lumbering murderously through a forest. By all rights this should be utterly dreadful, but any generously gore-laden horror film that makes the effort to provide a memorable sequence wherein a zombie wanks his own cock off has,perhaps, appreciable depths. A drunk dude fatefully relives himself upon a zombie's head, thereby leading our reluctant hero to discover that urine is the only viable antidote to this unexpectedly winning Euro-schlock zombie outbreak. Wholly deserving of rediscovery, Zombel is a splendidly splattery, Swiss cheesy S.O.V splatter treat. In the mindlessly amusing, crudely constructed pantheon of unsophisticated Zombie carnage, Spicher's analogue bloodbath stands tall as one of home-made horror's more goofily entertaining works! Zombel's obscurity resides solely in the fact that they will never be able to afford the music licensing for a non-bootlegged edition. Happily, I still maintain a childlike glee witnessing cheapnis zombies hungrily chowing down on gloopy tummy gubbins!
