Attempt to make a post-apocalypse movie on zero budget

[Leofwine_draca · 2/10 · 5 March 2017]

APOCALYPSE FEMALE WARRIORS (a title which feels like they've just plonked three keywords together) is an attempt to make a post-apocalypse movie on zero budget, shot on a couple of digital video cameras. The end result is about what you'd expect for a film of this budget, i.e. one huge waste of time.

This film is marketed as some kind of action spectacle but it really isn't. There are a few fight scenes but they're so pathetically staged that they're nothing to get excited about. The acting quality is of the typical Z-grade level. The best thing I can say about this is the editing isn't too bad and there are some interesting locations but unfortunately the shoddy camera-work negates this.

Not a total waste of time

The acting and the special effects were pretty bad. Some of the fight choreography was pretty good and the ladies were nice. The plot was pretty hard to follow, I thought so anyway. The music was spot on for the tone of the film.

An atrocity of unbelievable magnitude

Woodyanders is a tool. I created this account out of anger, solely to warn others from having to endure what I just witnessed.

This movie is about as enjoyable as watching a dog defecate. I hated it with the fiery passion of a thousand suns and felt compelled to save you, dear reader, the time.

I read the IMDb review by Woodyanders titled 'An excellent and exciting post-nuke sci-fiction/action winner' and expected at least an interesting movie. Instead, I got to watch some of the least capable actors/actresses who clearly couldn't act their way out of a paper bag. The plot was atrocious and the dialog appeared to be written by a child. The movie fell flat on it's face on absolutely every level and we have some of the worst camera-work in history to save it for posterity. This movie is so incredibly bad that I hope it ruins the careers of everyone involved.

Why make this horrible waste of time.

Please save yourself the vomit and don't watch this movie!

I read the wrong review and got tricked into watching it.

The review must have been posted by the deluded fool who made it.

I feel cheated and violated and now I know, read all the reviews.

It's not just the bad acting, or the pathetic effects; The whole timing is out and the editing is just sloppy, done with absolutely no attention to detail.

If you want a good laugh, get drunk, get some friends together and poke fun at a movie that should never have been made.

well maybe by a ten year old and if so never, ever, released!

Well first post hope it save somebody the wasted time.

Avoid this like the plague!

The English language does not have words to do this film justice but it seems like a longshot that other languages do...

Good Stuff

[UK_Zombie · 8/10 · 14 July 2013]

I love Killerwolf films and this one was long awaited due to editing issues apparently.

Anyway I wasn't disappointed. Good action, great looking warriors (particularly Amara Offhaus) and plenty of suspense. Most of the usual KW cast present as well which makes for continuity. It almost seems like the cast and crew make this a family effort!

This one needed zombies in it really. A cross between Swamp Zombies and W of the A would have been amazing. Not sure about the special effects overall. A trifle ambitious in some cases which weren't really needed and for me didn't come off (particularly the big explosion) but I'm quibbling now. Also a bit short on gore for me (hence the username...). Acting was consistently good and production values continue to improve from their earlier films

Again a good effort and well worth finding, although not easy in the UK to get hold of these films at a good rate.

FIGHT OR DIE

[nogodnomasters · 6/10 · 17 May 2018]

This is a bad cult film filmed in and around Erie, Pa. After WWIII, which looked a lot like WWII film reels, 3 women try to make it from the nuclear wasteland to the safe confines of "The City" ruled by a woman dictator who likes to hang out in a swimming pool naked. Along the way they have to battle other scavengers in the Wasteland who have a fight club. Rule 1: All female captors must be stripped. There are also cannibals whose faces look like they are covered with strawberry cream cheese. (You might keep some bagels close by.) They also have to battle some bad CG fire and gun fire effects. The girls, in real life, have martial art skills, but the fight scenes looked horrible when coupled with former professional wrestlers with speed ups and frequent pauses.

The plot ran weak. The special effects where ineffective. The sound could have been better. Metal/Death Metal music used for most of the fights except that junkyard battle which played the same riff over and over until it got annoying. Part of the excitement came from jerking the camera around.

"Apocalypse Female Warriors" is the recycling of "Warriors of the Apocalypse" which is typically a bad sign. Blockbusters don't get re-released under a different title.

The film boasted plenty blood and an over-the-top head shot that air gaps the ears.

Guide: F-bomb, FF nudity. More nudity and sex in the deleted scenes. 3 stars for the nudity. A film for bad film lovers. Not for everyone.

An excellent and exciting post-nuke sci-fi/action winner

[Woodyanders · 8/10 · 1 November 2010]

A rough'n'tumble bunch of female warriors -- two-fished Luca (ravishing brunette Darian Caine), the equally tough Spring (cute blonde Pamela Sutch), scrappy Vick (foxy Amara Offhaus), and the resilient Carrie (lovely Renee Porada) -- do their best to stay alive in a harsh wasteland that's been devastated by a nuclear war. The gals try to find the last remaining city left following the big blast. However, ruthless dictator Rollins (nicely played with wicked aplomb by Debbie D) sends a team of bloodthirsty mercenaries to kill the ladies in order to control the population. A pretty standard premise for sure, but fortunately writer/director Lee Kabasinski handles said story with a substantial amount of skill and flair: the brisk pace rarely let's up for a minute, there's plentiful graphic gore,a sizable smattering of tasty distaff nudity, a handful of vicious cannibalistic zombie mutants, and even a smidgen of lurid soft-core sex, the rousing shoot-outs and fierce knock-down, drag-out martial arts fights are staged with considerable rip-snorting brio (a big confrontation between the gals and the mercenaries in an automobile junkyard rates as an especially tense, thrilling, and impressive set piece), the CGI effects are generally acceptable, and the roaring hard rock soundtrack totally smokes. Moreover, the game and able cast play the material with admirable gusto: Caine and Sutch are great fun in the leads (it's a real pleasure to see Darian in particular mix it up in her action scenes), plus there's stand-out work by Brian Anthony as rugged and vengeful fighter Harris, Leon South (a.k.a. director Kabasinski) as cold-blooded mercenary Largent, Brian Heffron as brutish thug Krieg, and Deanna Visalle as the formidable Zorn. The polished cinematography gives the picture a neat slick look (I really dug the brief use of split screen in one scene). Jeff Hawthorne's lively and stirring score does the right-on pumpin' trick. A very cool and enjoyable flick.

Another Excellent Killer Wolf Film

[tcoll32 · 10/10 · 13 October 2010]

First I want to say I was extremely lucky to get a copy of this film since it is being re-edited. The hard part for me to accept is that the re-edited edition will be most likely exceed my enjoyment of the current version I now have. Having said that this latest epic starts off after WW III has devastated the world. The few survivors are either huddled together in the last remaining city run by a despotic militarized fascist leader. Those who aren't in the city are tying to survive. We get a group of 3 companions working there way to the city and trying to survive the mutated wasteland with the roving band of marauders. With a full compliment of KWF stalwarts like Brian Heffron, Darian Cane, Renee Porada, Brian Anthony, and Pamela Sutch (along with Len) this film is fast paced and action packed. This is by and large the biggest film attempted by KWF and they deliver on all accounts.

Go in with the right mindset.

Entertaining to watch in a goofy MST3K sort of way. But not if you want a real movie.

The fighting is slapstick quality silly. Punches that are very clearly all air. People spitting out mouthfuls of blood who are chatting away 15 seconds later. Red muzzle indicators on plastic prop weapons. Miniguns with no power source or ammo belt. A car chase that was obviously filmed at 5 kph in a parking lot, with one engine revving noise on a loop for the entire scene. The list goes on.

Oh, and apparently in the apocalypse, someone is still freshly mowing all the yards, and along every street.
