Beasts loose on a movie set

Dark Floors: The Lordi Motion Picture is, as you'd expect, very cheesy. As it's basically an 80 minute music video (without the music), it doesn't make a great deal of sense, but it is very stylishly shot. There's some vague semblance of a plot, and a few interesting ideas about being trapped in time. Plus zombies.

I'm a bit disappointed. I was hoping it'd be much worse than that! ;o)

Still, it was worth picking up on DVD if only for the amusement value of the extras. These include a press conference with the band in full monster costumes, but without even trying to put on the usual gravelly monster voices or bravado, and just coming across as slightly camp :o)

What???? There's a Lordi film and you didn't tell me about it??? Clearly I'll have to track it down Amazon or something.

And, okay, the plot might not be that bad, but it *does* have a credit for 'zombie's hands'.

I can lend it you if you want.

For some reason it didn't seem to get a cinema release......

I cannot imagine why. Yes, a loan would be most welcome, or if it wasn't so bad you never want to see it again, you could bring it round and we could invite others, and booze, and make an evening of it!

Sounds like a plan. I was considering nominating it for the next bad movies evening, but I'm not sure it's quite bad enough.
