The tale of a video nerd out to film his entire life buys used tapes from the local pawnshop in order to save money. But one

Obsessed with finding this machine Shep and his friends go to the house on the video and meet the inventor's granddaughter.
Finding the machine, he steals it to try to get it to work. But a lightning strike activates it, making these tiny bug
monsters appear, burrowing into his brain. But the explosion that brings the little monsters here also fuses Shep to his camera.
Now Shep is a Cyborg and thanks to the brain bugs, quite insane.
Can his friends save him before he kills them?
ZEDD'S OPINION:
I liked this story, even if it is from the maker of Drainiac. He is a good director, he just made one mistake. I like the
humor in this one. I liked the way they poked fun at Drainiac also. The acting was a little over the top, but that's what
makes it fun.
I GIVE IT....7 STARS
VOLTRON'S OPINION:
This is a fun film, I agree with Zedd on that. I also agree about the acting. But I have to say I was kind of disappoint
with the stop motion effects in this movie. I seem too claymation. Which was one of the biggest problems with Drainiac.
But the movie was very funny and somewhat touching at times. The make up effects slipped up a couple of times as well.
I GIVE IT...6 STARS
ON THE POSITIVE SIDE (+ HITS):
+ STORY (It is a clever story, that is intereging and funny(
+ FUNNY (It is one of the funniest horror movies I've seen in a long time)
+ CHARACTERS (I like the human characters in this one)
+ SHEP (The actor who plays Shep is a pretty good actor, I wish he did more movies)
ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE (- MISSES):
- STOP MOTION (The stop motion photography in this one still needs allot of work)
- MAKE-UP MISTAKES (Shep's make up effects slipped on more then one occation)
And Finally:
- ACTING (The acting was kind of over the top, but Zedd thinks it only added to it's charm)
