A fun B film with an interesting twist on zombies
When a married couple's farm produces ANOTHER year's worth of bad crop for producing the wine they make and live by the wife, Dionne goes to her mother who is a witch. While she has turned her back on the ancient craft that flows naturally through her family she has her mother help her cast a spell to help save the next year's crop so they don't have to either move or lose their vinyard. Wine? Witches? Where are the undead?
Well instead of the usual science and classic voodoo we are used to on where the zombies come from we have them created from witchcraft gone wild. (I'm pretty sure that was also the name of a bad porno.) Basically the ritual used required human blood and the husbands was volunteered without his knowledge. The problem was Joe was drinking that night and the alcohol in his blood may have caused a problem, though the crop did seem to come in quite well. With the successful crop the couple "hire" one of their friends who is a teacher to hire a few of his...
LAND HAS GOOD SPELLS AND BAD SPELLS
This is a local low budget production that was done very well. Joe (Jim Townsend) and Dionne (Christine Egan) are having problems with their grape/wine crop. Dionne and her mother (H. Lynn Smith) cast a spell on the land to make the grapes grow. Unfortunately the potion was tainted and the grapes become aggressive leading to zombies who crave alcohol tainted blood. People are hired to harvest the grapes which leads to problems.
The zombie action doesn't take place until 55 minutes into the film. The zombie make-up and effects were clearly a lower tier. Christine Egan did an excellent job acting in her lone film credit. Humor was added by way of two stereotypical nerds who happened to be Trekkies. This is a fun film and not for hardcore zombie purists.
Parental Guide: F-bomb, brief nudity (Kerry Kearns, Natalia Jablokov) girl/girl.
