The film actually intercuts screenshots of the video game in the movie! This, in short, looks awful and is extremely cheesy. The film does possess a first, however, at least in my movie going experience. The film has all the standard horror cliches false scares, naked women, and gore (although not until the second half). The next thing you know all of the kids know martial arts and how to fire guns with endless amounts of ammunition. What happened? Zombies of course! It is never explained how the party goers turned into zombies, but whatever. Upon arrival the friends find the party crashed and no one is around. Kirk tells the group of how the island is cursed with the dead and other nonsense, all of which is of course ignored by the group. Kirk (Jurgen Prochnow…get the joke?) and his First Mate, Salish (Howard). Since the fools miss the ride the rave supplies, the group ends up hitching a ride with the mysterious Capt. Sega signs are everywhere, as are naked chicks. Six horny college-aged kids (three male, three female) are looking to attend “the rave of the year.” For some reason, this particular party takes place on a secluded island in the middle of nowhere. The acting, special effects, and story are all atrocious and completely defy logic on any standard.Ībout the story…it goes something like this. The film runs a scant ninety minutes, and I looked at my watch at least five times. After all, the game is a sensation at the lobby arcade, so why not make it into a movie, right? I’m sure Sega and Artisan reps alike thought they had a surefire hit on their hands. It was in and out faster than college kids in the drunk tank. The smart money says you missed this heap back when it hit theaters. Just when I thought things couldn’t get any worse, this descent into hell arrives. We have Double Dragon, Super Mario Bros., Mortal Kombat, etc. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Exhibit A in the evidence that no more video games, under any conditions, should be made into movies.
