Actress Apocalypse

Description

Self-centered filmmaker David Lincoln is about to make one of the most horrifying slasher films ever made. He allows a documentary film crew to record the making of his historic film, but instead, the crew captures the film's downfall, as his psychotic brother murders all of the nubile young actresses who audition for the film.

Shot in the mockumentary style of "This is Spinal Tap" and "Waiting for Guffman", while exhibiting the over-the-top rudeness of legendary film maker Russ Meyer's films, "Actress Apocalypse" is an exploitation satire that takes on the independent film scene in a sexy and funny way. Humorous, horrifying, and starring some of the most gorgeous women in film, "Actress Apocalypse" is one of the finest exploitation films ever made. EXTRAS:
•Unrated Director's Cut!
•Deleted Scenes
•Bloopers and Outtakes
•Cast Interviews
•Sexy Stripper Vignette
•Director Commentary
•Trailers
•BONUS CD SOUNDTRACK

DON'T BE FOOLED.......2005-07-09

I was seduced by positive reviews into buying this inept piece of contrivance. Don't be fooled. The naked girls are o.k but nothing better than you might expect to find at some amatuer strip night, they have very little screen time.
Oh dear I hate this train wreak dreck, no horror no style, probably the most boring collection of random jump-cut nothingness I have ever seen !
Worse still the men who appear in this belive they are being humourous, if only they were. The last laugh is their's if you get suckered into parting with your hard earned green.
I love low / no budget expliotation movies, I have a collection of many hundreds, never ever have I seen anything as poor as this.
As a far better alternative I recommend H.G Lewis's superior "Blood Feast 2" unrated edition

Hilarious! Outrageous! Shocking! And lots of naked women!.......2005-04-09

ACTRESS APOCALYPSE begins with a dedication "to all
those who've tried to make an epic film in their
backyard." It's an exploitation mockumentary about the
production nightmares of David B. Lincoln (Garo
Nigoghossian) and his brother Vance (Greg Freeman) as
they shoot their ever-morphing "mullet-headed killer
Indian/flesh-eating gay zombie" flick. Things quickly
go awry when an uppity "professional actress" (Dahlia
Legault) makes quite a scene of her own, bawling out
and humiliating the brothers after enduring an
agonizing day of shooting. She storms off the set leaving the already unstable Vance hungry for revenge. He takes over production, auditioning actresses in ways that Russ Meyer never dared to dream of, and the homemade epic turns into a snuff flick when Vance gets his mitts around each new aspiring, nekkid young starlet.. The first extended strangulation scene had this reviewer squirming in his seat! Really demented, disturbing stuff even though the preceding 40 minutes were hilarious! I feel like I've given away too much of the plot, but I haven't even mentioned the antics of the "Golden Terror" yet!
Who knows what inspired ACTRESS APOCALYPSE's "real" director Richard R. Anasky's (who plays the mild-mannered cameraman Fernando in the film) psycho/psychedelic imagery, but it's quite a feast for the eyes and ears. Metal band Space Probe Taurus provides the appropriate music to accompany the visuals. (and the soundtrack CD is included in the unrated double-disc set!) Anasky seems to have a pretty firm grip on who his target audience will be; people tired of the same old thing, looking for a movie with an edge that sends political correctness and Hollywood conventions to the landfill where they belong. So a word of warning to those of you on the fence: this is not a movie to take home to Mother! It's about as bold, misogynistic (to you wimpy PC-types), garish (in a fun way!) and outrageous a movie you'll likely find at Amazon.com!
The DVD has plenty of bonus features but curiously, no commentary. The feature itself has a fun gimmick that I discovered upon second viewing however: there are numerous subliminal easter egg freeze frames scattered throughout the film that speak to the viewer. Little messages that I'll let you find for yourselves. Besides, I doubt Amazon would let me reproduce my favorites without censoring the content. Speaking of censors, there's a certain scene in the film that is digitally pixelled over, but you'll get a good look at what the fuss was about in the outtakes supplement.
Overall, a very impressive debut film! Highly recommended for those of us who're ready for movies that take the gloves off and give their best shot!!!

This R rated disc is inferior, movie is great!.......2005-04-11

This R rated disc is a bare bones offering, the Amazon listing is incorrect. The unrated DVD has all the extras, over 2 hours worth! Don't get this DVD, spend the extra $5 and get the unrated version to get more nudity and all the extras.
