To become a cult classic a movie has to have a certain charm; usually being quite the oddball film that hits left of center. You have films like The Toxic Avenger, Plan 9 From Outer Space, and even Bad Taste. A film sure to be considered a cult classic, Die You Zombie Bastards, meets the oddball requirements yet manages to have a coherent story, that while far fetched has comedic elements that help keep the story moving forward at a 100 miles a minute. You won't even want to blink because you'll miss something. Where else will you see seas monsters, zombies, robots, giant flies, disobedient dog men, a rockabilly legend, and a serial killer couple who cant stop humping?

The true mark of a low budget film is the ability to make the viewer look past the budget and be engrossed with the story. This is of course a very low budget movie, but with creative gore, a sense of humor, and a zany cast, the movie really works. No matter what outrageous turn the story throws you, it works. Sure this isn't the type of movie you should look to for drama, but the actors do a fantastic job and amp up the comedic side of the film considerably.

I don't want to give away much of the plot because it is best to see firsthand the chaos that goes on without knowing much about it beforehand. The basic premise is a plot to overrun the world with zombie slaves being concocted by an evil yet ridiculous Baron. The movie throws a lot of homages and little jokes at you throughout the movie and you'll be in stitches throughout. If you take offence to nudity and excessive prosthetic penises this is definitely not the movie for you. But what else makes a ridiculous sea monster even more ridiculous? A big floppy dick, what else? If you are a fan of the Troma school of film this is definitely one for you.

This is one of those movies that you have to see to believe. It's a raucous ride full of gore, nudity and some of the most oddball moments ever committed to film. You'll be scratching your head wondering what the hell you are watching at times, but you'll love every second of it. This is a film that I can't recommend highly enough.
