 DEATH
FACTORY (Brain
Damage) DVD. Horror.
100 minutes. Rated R, violence, gore, nudity. On the outskirts of town
lies a creepy, abandoned chemicals factory. The place is in ruins and many
have disappeared after entering the depleted building. Undaunted, a group
of college students load up the beer and weed and head on over to the
factory for a weekend of boozin’, druggin’, and sex. Just as the fun
starts for the frolicking students, out comes the factory party popper
(scantily clad chickie with Freddy Krueger like knife hands and pointy
teeth) and ruins all the fun by eating everybody.
Although entertaining, this flic is loaded with b-movie annoyances
that will have you asking yourself why, why, why? Just a few of my whys;
when the killer kills, she does so in a very sloppy way and gets blood all
over herself. However, when she stalks her next victim, there is not a
speck of blood on her. Now, I very highly doubt she showered after each
kill, so why was she clean after being so blood covered? The story takes
place in a big abandoned chemical factory, yet the only rooms shown are
the same three or four white trash bedroom looking rooms.. Ok, I know
it’s because of budgets constraints, but I just feel like being a picky
bah-stud right now. There are many other cases of such “why” happens
scattered about, but I shall digress. I must admit, the first kill shown
here is perhaps the longest death scene in the history of cinema and made
me laugh. The killer kills this dude (who kind of has a slight resemblance
to Askew writer extraordinaire Ben Hunter) and just repeatedly thrusts her
knives into him all while he just stands there moaning and his girlfriend
(who just happens to be on hot chickie) sits there screaming her purdy
little lungs out. The scene never ends and it’s the funniest thing in
the world. You also have to love this line of dialog; “Louisa, you know
this place, where’s the exit?” “I don’t know about an exit, but
I’m sure we can find our way back to the front entrance.” Umm..isn’t
the front entrance considered an exit? I know I am picking on this movie,
but all in all, Death Factory a fairly entertaining (in b-movie terms)
piece of horror indi work. Lots of blood, some nudity, cool enough
production work, and a not too shabby looking villain. – Denis Sheehan
