3/5 The Gem Needs Polishing But Still... Bravo.
  by Brian Lueth (Chicago, IL United States)
Necroville is a blast, folks! I really wasn't expecting to be entertained so darn thoroughly but here I am, about to give it a glowing review. Forget the low budget, forget the stiff amateurish acting, Necroville is a wild little indie horror flick that successfully combines elements of Clerks, Ghostbusters and Shaun of the Dead without blatantly stealing from any of them. It's different, funny and moves along at a decent clip.

As I stated above, the acting is rough, at times it's downright horrible but you just have to get over it when it comes to indie horror because many times these films barely have enough to pay for bagels to feed the crew. You get what you get and surprisingly that's more than I'd originally anticipated from this film.

The gore is darn good, super cheesy but darn good, especially during a specific sequence involving the most original method of killing a vampire I've ever laid eyes on. Good stuff, goofy stuff. It's not meant to be taken seriously and there are some parts that are downright groan-worthy but I found myself laughing harder than I groaned.

Outside of adult and home videos, horror is just about the easiest genre of film to break into these days, any old drunken fratbag can make a horror flick so long as they've got a few grand and friends willing to crack flatulation jokes. The large majority of what's out there is just plain bad and I've been saying for years now that there's simply no excuse for that, making a good horror film starts with a solid idea and decent script, neither of which most horror "filmmakers" invest much time in. Necroville never gets bogged down by budget or potty humor, its good clean fun with a few raunchy winks and honest-to-goodness comedy. Bring on the sequel!

5/5 Awesomeville

Necroville is a horror-comedy starring Billy Garberina (Feeding The Masses, Wedding Slashers) and Adam Jarmon Brown as exterminators of the living dead. It's sort of like Clerks combined with Shaun of the Dead. And it's directed by Richard Griffin who also directed Stink of Flesh, another great zombie movie. Yes, Necroville is one kick-butt movie. It doesn't matter if you're a fan of independent movies, zombie movies,or vampire movies, you should find something here to like. I myself found everything to like.

3/5 not bad, but not what I had hoped.

Necroville is fun enough, but I was kind of disappointed. The two main characters see an ad on television motivating them to join a supernatural extermination agency. The Commercial is voiced over by a Christopher Walken sound alike, and I was kind of dissapointed there was no fakey Christopher Walken character for the two mains to fight zombies with. It's still vaguely a "what if Randall and Dante from Clerks were on the Monster Squad?" movie which is okay, but the dialogue isn't as punchy as it could have been.
Most original ending of how to kill a vampire ever. This is a rental, not one to own, but you'll be glad you saw it.

4/5 AN INDIE FILM THAT HOWLS
  by R. Davalos (Albuquerque, NM)
I was fortunate enough to have seen this film when it was first released. I have to admit that I was skeptical about a low-budget horror/comic film not being able to carry the weight it should to reach a diverse audience, but I was very pleasantly surprised. The audience ranged from tweens to baby boomers and they all enjoyed it very much. The film has some raw qualities, but the actors have done an exemplary job, showcasing that they are not some high school thespians trying to relive their glory days. Adam Brown has a deft comedic touch with great timing and Billy Garberina has the charm and good looks to make his character very believable. While the special effects may not be Industrial Light and Magic, they certainly were better than I would have guessed for a film with this kind of minimal budget. The pace of the film did not drag at all and it had a campy but fun feel throughout, almost a non-musical Rocky Horror meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer vibe. It is well worth the price and the time to enjoy this entertaining piece of independent film making.
