I was at the video store today and browsing the shelves when I saw this title. No way could I leave it behind, so I rented it.
It's as bad as you imagine, only hilariously so.
So this guy uses magic to reincarnate his dead brother, who happens to be some sort of evil dead ninja mage...no really. Anyway, the ninja mage goes around making zombies while trying to be a charming and hilarious villain. It is funny, but not in the way intended. Meanwhile, the brother who did the resurrecting has no idea why he did it, just that he must stop his evil brother. So his magical book tells him that he needs ninjas and only those ninjas can kill the zombies and only he can kill his brother. Logically, the guy turns his three friends into ninjas...who also use guns.
If you're guessing those rules get used, but broken without explanation, you're correct. Nor do they explain how the brother died, why they know magic, why the good brother resurrected his brother in the first place, etc.
This movie is terrible. Beyond terrible. The guys on Mystery Science Theater 3000 would have trouble making fun of it because it's that terrible. There's only so many ways you can make fun of a train wreck. This is like a train full of puppies that crashed into another train full of hot women and smashed each other into a nearby orphanage and then a plane full of kittens crashed on top of the wreckage. It's that tragic.
But it IS entertaining, and that's the magic of a really bad film. Totally worth a rental if you're a film lover, particularly very bad films.
I do want to mention that this indy film made by some ugly nerdy guys had, by far, two of the hottest nearly naked and naked chicks I've seen in a movie in a long while. One girl gets down to a bra and panties and shows off her body intentionally (great ass!) and the other is a blonde that looks like she walked off a porn site only she still looks like she has her innocence (she's full frontal).
This would get a 1 out of 10 if rated against legit films, but a solid 8 out of 10 for being hilariously bad.
