Perkins' 14

Richard Brake, Patrick O'Kane (2009) Robert builds an army of 14 brainwashed people to protect him from killers.

Serves you right, random guy. Got your hand chopped by some apparently brainwashed guy. Serves you right for having really really stupid hair.

And apparently brainwashing makes you immune to bullets. FYI.

And apparently cheap shitty hotels have champagne bucket-things instead of ice-buckets.

Looks like After Dark Horrorfest is failing in its quest to get back to .500. Now, instead it'll be 1 for 4.

One hour and 17 minutes in, and the main character's wife has taken off her shirt. In preparation for committing adultery. Finally decided to bring back the "Female Undergarment Countdown". Not really a countdown, but whatever...

But luckily for... well, no one, another of the brainwashed folks showed up and clubbed the adulterous man with the champagne bottle.

Also, the editor of this movie really needs to learn the term "continuity". As in ensure that the scenes you're showing are in fact in the correct order. Like hugging, then getting dressed, then back to hugging in a split second.

So, there's clearly a person yelling off in the distance. Deputy Awesome states, "That sounds like a person." No shit, there genius. (This rather blatant stating of the blindingly obvious is what gave the Deputy his name, by the way)

Ah. What a heartwarming story of a father who reaches out to his zombified brainwashed son, and then gets his neck snapped by said son. Who then goes on to kill his sister with a shotgun.

Perhaps, I shall give this film half marks due to the rather abrupt snapping of the father's neck, even though everyone (except him) saw it coming. So, After Dark Horrorfest 3 or whatever is now 1.5 for 4. I've still got 3 more to go on the DVR, so it is still possible that the Horrorfest will make it up to .500, and actually even has the chance to go above... We shall see. I'm rather doubtful, but, we shall see.

I would have been upset had you not given it points for abrupt neck snapping and then shotgunning sister. Cause that's just fantastic.
