Annoying flashback

Filipino director Yuzna was responsible for many a bloody work in the eighties. He never got above the B-level, but he was often at the cradle of filthy entertainment that became cult over time. Also as a producer and often a guarantor of filth. In recent years he has hardly had any commercial or artistic success. Nevertheless, Dutch producer San Fu Maltha invested money in this project.

Nowadays, after a small revival in the nineties with the two Dentist films, there is little left of the joy that radiated from his work, despite all the shortcomings. It is as if time has stood still and the viewer ends up in a flashback in a film that, if it had been shot a few decades ago, would have been less annoying to have to watch now. Because this is really not possible nowadays, so weak.

The 3D still offers some fun, but the gore varies from reasonable to bad. What makes your toes curl the most, however, are the abominable acting performances. The Dutch lead actress Fassaert doesn't do much, but Paré is also not a sight to behold. The accents are hilarious and offer some form of entertainment as a quiz - who comes from where. With the exception of the camera work, this film is actually disappointing in everything.

Whether Yuzna's only motivation was a bag of money is unclear, but his direction sucks on all sides. As if, after a somewhat decent start, he gave up hope when he realized this was going to be a shitty job. You wonder how some scenes even survived a screening and ended up in the final product. This could have come from the nasty The Asylum or Syfy. Despite the video cover stolen from Piranha 3D; just skip it.

Moderate.

Ouch, Yuzna is clearly not what he used to be. Now his films never really had high production values, but this is really sad. Those actors are really a drama to watch. Let them speak in their own language. That would already make a big difference. Furthermore, the monster is not very convincing, which ultimately leaves little left in a film like this. No, it would be nice if these kinds of directors would come up with a good comeback instead of these kinds of fillers, or money-grabbers. I think especially the latter.

1.5*

Quite boring to be honest. And I didn't really expect that. Here and there some nice practical gore effects, but those moments are quite rare. The characters are very interchangeable and the whole plot around the child labor could hardly be less interesting.

Too bad, because the moments with the scorpion are quite nice.
