THE DUNGEON OF DR. DRECK is a really stupid indie comedy/horror flick clearly made as a tribute to the local 'horror hosts' which did so much to promote old-time horror movies in the USA in the 1960s and beyond. Sadly, this brain-dead comedy fails in every respect, feeling ad-libbed, stupid, and forced throughout. There's no faulting the enthusiasm of the crew or actors but the product they've come up with just doesn't work. The end result features wobbly camera-work and jokes that go on and on with no punchline. Add in flat line delivery and an aimless pace and you have a real dud of a film.

Movie Review

I have just finished watching this wonderful movie. The concept of having television shows and movies within this movie was a well researched and well executed idea that really worked.
Doctor Dreck needs to earn money, so he presents his idea of a medical show to the local television station, who instead end up giving him his own horror movie show, with his co-host Moaner Johnson (a zombie) and Stu (a rubber rat that talks).
Meanwhile the station owner continually tries to kill Dreck and Moaner.
My favourite character was Moaner, the Zombie Cheerleader. So believable and well acted by Lorna Nogueira.
A must see movie for lovers of horror-hosts.

Warning: Spoilers
Michael Legge has foretold the coming 10 years later of the Santa Clarita Diet storyline. While it can't be said they are identical, the film introduces the concept of a Zombie who is just a victim of circumstances. Fun film.
Give it a view.
