When you see The Asylum label attached to a video, and before the credits roll, you are subjected to closeup shots of various college-age morons screaming and bleeding from the head and mouth, you know you are in for trouble. DMW reminds me of videos I used to rent from a Blockbuster that was next to a public housing project. Most of these so-called horror titles were amateur flicks shot on a shoestring budget and given the most lurid covers imaginable. Hell, the covers probably cost more than the flicks themselves. I learned my lesson after renting several such videos, the absolute worst being the infamous "Ax 'Em." I caught DMW on Chiller, which should be embarrassed to have ever shown it. Plot: A man who has killed four zombies and been infected in the process is sent to a maximum security prison, where he infects other prisoners and guards. The prison is locked down, and the rest of the story involves a handful of folks who have not been infected trying to find a way out. The movie, such as it is, is just plain awful. The zombie effects are ludicrous, and there isn't one real actor in the bunch. It also was blocked and shot by someone who has no idea how to stage a scene. Where I come from, we call this a fanboy film. Made by fanboys for fanboys. So all you fanboys out there, enjoy. Everyone else, please steer clear.
