Synopsis:
A couple go out into the swamp to search for gators. The wife is pulled under by a mysterious force. The husband, Mr. Griffith, goes to town and tells everyone that his wife is missing. The townsfolk automatically assume, coupled with the other mysterious deaths, that a gator is the one killing everybody. Makes sense.
Anyway, a reporter, Tom Corman, starts investigating the goings-on. He finds a girl, Shawn, who has absolutely nothing to do with anything. He finds no answers, and eventually hears from Doctor Ellerbee's patient that a meteorite smashed to earth, and shortly afterward zombies started walking around. The survivors gather together to figure out a way to defeat the monsters. Will they? Who knows, the movie just kind of cuts off!

Captain Cool - 6 out of 10
Well, at least it wasn't NYC as usual, which is too bad because it might have made for a way better film.considering all the cool things NYC gets to have, but no, we get stuck with Southern Florida (or Georgia) and some drunk-ass living dead aliens - whoop-de-skiddly-diddly-do! Well, all I rekkin I cin say bout this here movie is, well not much; except for some funny quotes, bad sound, bad acting, bad camerawork (I swear he blacked out at least twice AND had to be drunk). Lack of violence doesn't help, but at least there was SOME skin, but neither helped, might as well done without; few hot chicks, but couldn't save this one; but it did pick-up, but not enough. At least the females were smart too; one scene where the girl left her boyfriend for dead with a quickness was classic. Avoid if you can, but I guess if you're outta options-but you have been warned. Decent at best.

Wolf Zombie - 2 out of 10
Well, about the only thing this movie had was bad editing, bad acting, and a butt load of it. Thank you to Mr. Jon Kock for the title graphics. During the title it sounds as if Mr. Kock is getting a little job done on him. There was a little bit of nudity, and a lot of cheap shots where you can get your hopes up. Another nice job with the tomato soup blood. No one actually dies in this movie, they all just spit up their lunch.
They also give southern people such a good name. Couldn't make sense of 90% of the slang used in this movie. Costume design was top notch, looked like the people got to the set and were told to run home and grab the first thing they see. Luckily everyone owned a two sizes too small cowboy or confederate hat. I only suggest seeing this movie if you have as much time on your hands to waste as we do. Trust me, that is a lot and you probably don't.

Like movies with a clear cut beginning and end?
I'm not talking Tarantino here, I mean seriously, if you like watching movies that sort of ramble on at the beginning and then cut off for no reason, by all means, buy this, enjoy it, live it, love it.
If you are like me, however, and enjoy movies that "make sense" and "don't make you want to gouge your eyes out" then it's best to skip this one.
Super stereotypes, ridiculous looking zombie/alien/whatevers, no "plot" to speak of; on top of all that, the movie isn't even all that enjoyable to make fun of. There were some nice attempts at gore and the scene that the Captain already cited (with the girlfriend taking off) that were humorous, but the rest of the movie is a damn chore.
Fred Olen Ray is a lot like our friend and yours Jess Franco. They both like to take completely ridiculous plotlines mainly so they can throw beautiful women into the mix. I mean, FOR made a movie called "Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers" for crying out loud. Just know what you are getting yourself into when you jump in, just a warning!

Shawn - "If there's one thing my Peppy don't hold too much store in it's that newspaper of yours."
Tom - "Is it because we expose poachers and other abusers of wildlife?"
Shawn - "No, it's because my Peppy can't read."
Peppy - "Everyone's always wantin' to know about the Big One."
Shawn - "I don't know, growing up, getting out of the swamp, eatin' hamburgers, that kind of thing."

Mixed! Small suggestion for rental, but not for everyone, and only for a once through. Definitely NOT recommended for purchase.
