Many of you have probably noticed the new sponsored section on the homepage and on the Home Video homepage featuring the latest titles from Anchor Bay and as a result the home entertainment studio has been sending me the titles they are advertising. Last night I had the chance to watch two of the three titles, Pelts and Night of the Living Dorks, the other being Devil’s Den.
Between Pelts and Night of the Living Dorks I couldn’t have chosen two films that differed from each other any more. The first being a corny little Masters of Horror title from director Dario Argento, father of the lovely actress Asia Argento. Night of the Living Dorks is actually the title to pay attention to here, it runs 92 minutes and is great from start to finish. It really is much more of a comedy than a horror, but it is just tame enough and not over the top that it works. It works really well in fact.
Okay, that is out of the way, now for the good title in the bunch, Night of the Living Dorks, or Die Nacht der lebenden Loser if you want to use its German title. Yeah, this one was originally filmed in German and is dubbed over in English and it is fantastic!
On the way home the three crash into a tree and die only to be reborn as zombies in the local morgue. Konrad goes flesh crazy, Weener takes advantage of his new strength and drinking skills and Philip tries to hit on Uschi, find an anecdote and stay out of trouble. As Konrad is eating his teachers time runs short and hilarity ensues, trust me, it is corny but very entertaining.
