Episode 220: Death Shack

I know I know I promised Michael I would watch World Ends at Camp Z, but I really don’t want to, so I am sneaking in DEATH SHACK. DEATH SHACK BABY DEATH SHACK DEATH SHACK BABY THAT’S WHERE ITS AT.

2017 from SHUDDER

Gets a respectable 5.5/10 on IMDB

And 82% on ROTTEN TOMATOES

Yup. How do you like them apples?

Three teens and a drunken father on a cabin getaway discover their mysterious neighbor is harboring a house full of zombies.

While staying at a run-down cabin in the woods, three children must save their parents from the neighbour who intends to feed them to her undead family.

The gore is ok. The story is ok but basic. The cinematography is great. However, the characters, every man jack of them, is an asshole. All of them. This is a group of the most unlikable Canadians you can imagine. Roger is such a drunk asshole, noisy, useless, drunk. Lisa the same. Summer is a horrible sarcastic girl. Colin is a bully and a dick. And Jason is pathetic. Really, horrible people. If this family rolled up to the hotel you are staying it, you would move hotels. Utter scumbags.

That aside, there is about 5 minutes or proper zombie movie deaths and killing at the end, including a very surprising death, so kudos for that, and that it is only 73 minutes long.

Definitely not 82% def not 5.5/10. I will give it 5/10 as people may, and do like it, I just found all the characters sounding the same, and all of them as careless, loud, sarcastic, brash, brutish dicks, being a turn off.
