Demon Slaughter (2003 Video)
3/10
More low budget zombie horror with a side order of gangster's.
22 February 2015
This movie starts out like a gangster film and the horror elements only kick in midway through. Jimmy is a ruthless gangster, who will even kill innocents to cover his tracks. He has promised his wife that he will only deal with the mob one more time. He has a plan to make off with a fortune of their money and start a fresh life for himself and his wife. Things don't seem to go to plan.

It seems to take a bit of an age to get going, with very few horror elements. At the half way point things change and the horror comes thick and fast. Zombies invade the screen. I found the effects of the shoot outs pretty annoying as this is achieved with CGI shots coming from the ends of the guns. There is a fair bit of gore by the end and some of this was quite well handled. I did find one of the CGI effects quite good. Music is mostly of the rock variety so this suited me down to the ground.

Story made an attempt to be original and it kept me guessing to the end. Acting is OK for this type of production. Never really outstays it's welcome. The running time is 1 hr and 2 minutes. Less than an hour if you do not count the end credits.
