Ring of Darkness (2004)

This is a movie about, essentially, an evil boy band. They kill one of their member (in the first 5 minutes, not exactly a spoiler) and are looking for someone to replace him. The movie then follows three hopefuls to the bands mansion where they continue to audition to join the band. What happens then is fairly easy to predict, but I still found it entertaining. I'm a huge fan of horror movies, especially the ones involving monsters of some kind. I actually enjoyed this movie, although I would never call it horror. It was very campy, which I get a massive kick out of anyway. There was an exceptional amount of homosexual sub-text and some that might be considered straight up text. The only thing that really bothered me was the end. The way that the monsters are defeated is so incredibly easy, it's disgusting. They had this huge build-up to an end fight and they get killed in a less than 2 minutes. This is after being shown as powerful and strong. Plus, they outnumbered the "good" guys 5 to 2 (counting their manager). All in all, it was a great laugh and a fun way to spend part of a cold afternoon.

Where should I start....first...the storyline...Basically its about a group of pretty boy band guys who eat people...doesn't that sound like a blockbuster film!! No wonder it was only meant for TV..not for movie theatres...if it did go there i'm sure it would do worse than Shark Boy and Lava Girl in 3D. If there are people out there who like this movie I just have one thing to say to you...What is the matter with you? I guess you like cheesy ''horror'' movies with bad story lines and weird people. In conclusion..please don't watch it...i wish I never saw it...I wasted 1 hour 45 minutes (appr.) of my life! The End. My Story is done. Good-bye!

Yep, almost all the boys hate the Backstreet Boys, so did a man direct this movie? This movie was a drag and cheaply made. I got bored to tears, and I didn't even know why I was watching it. I could change to another channel, but I just stood there like a mindless zombie. Why couldn't I just change the dang channel and not wait till the end? It would have saved my life! Well, I hate this movie. Zombies as horrible singers? Plus, some of the auditioned people who made it sang the same, so that was cheap. Horrible lyrics, dreadful singing, can I take anymore of that? This movie was bad.Don't watch it. You'll die from boredness and stupidness of the movie.

When I started to watch this movie, I thought awesome, a boy band that is mostly zombies, awesome premise. This movie however took a horribly bad turn and became an unwatchable piece of garbage. First off, no gore. If your going to make a crappy B-movie about zombies, you need gore. This had none, the zombies apparently kill their victims by dog piling them to death, what the hell. Also if you have a zombie movie, more than 4 people have to die, and they all need to die violently on camera. The movie starts out with the singer of a boy band getting dog piled by the rest of the band, presumably because he found out they were zombies. So the band needs a new singer and holds nation wide try outs. Three people are picked and go to the bands private Island where one by one they disappear (i.e. "eaten" by the zombies) until only the "bad boy" remains, and saves the day. Late in the movie you find out that they are actually a boy band from the 50's who got in a plane crash and they were all killed. Then this lady brings them back with some kind of magic, and they were different hit boy bands through out the past few decades. No one seemed to notice that all these bands looked like the same 4 dudes with different hair cuts and clothes. Then at the end the main characters girl friend dies and he brings her back as a zombie. Didn't this guy see "Return of the Living Dead 3", not a good idea. Acting was horrible, script was horrible, and no blood or nudity. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone. Also you must endure music that makes the Backstreet Boys seem tolerable.
