Rating: Summary: Say What? Review: I literally ejected this DVD from my computer, tossed it into the trash can...removed the info sleeve and kept the plastic encasing. Here's my take on this double feature: "A totally low budget, lame brain of a flick destined for oblivion." The most intelligible line in the entire movie is: "Make like a tree and jump off a ^%$& cliff." Say what? Don't EVEN consider a 5-cent rental. I wasted 30-35 minutes of my life on this abomination.

Rating: Summary: Dont. Just don't........... Review: I love low- and no-budget horrormovies, I love Troma, the only really independent film-company left that makes and distributes MOVIES. I fact knowing that Lloyd Kaufman makes an appearance in this title made me buy it (albeit cheaply). The good new is: Lloyd is in it, in the same magnificent fashion that he does introductions to nearly all Troma-discs. The bad news, however, is that his contribution makes up for the only few minutes that are watchable.
This cannot pass as a film, a movie, anything like that. I have seen (and even written) comments on other such works (like Todd Sheets' abysmal Zombie Bloodbath films) mentioning that they were not better than anything thrown together by a bunch of highschool kids with a rented videocamera without mastering how the device worked - let alone knowing about script, lighting and character development that are needed for a film.
Mr. Sheets's works, however, are absolute MASTERPIECES and hig art compared to the offending pieces of S**T and C**P that are presented on this disc. This has nothing to do with horror, gore, humor - it's a bunch of nitwits obviously in admoration of the kind of films Troma puts out, and think they can do that too. The message here is: they can't. They have no idea! They are pathetic for even believing to think they are worthy of eating Mr. Kaufmans excrement. This is so low, so empty, so disgusting, so horribly bad and amateurish that my vocabulary cannot possibly contain words that begin to describe it.
In my search for cheap horror I have seen quite a few things that didn't work out, were bad, were horrendous. But never, ever in my life have I seen something that insulted the intelligence of any buyer/renter/viewer so much as this. And it put me off of checking out any other titles distributed my Tempe. A company unable to recognise such trash is not to trust.
Rating: Summary: EEESSSHHHHH Review: I really wanted to like this movie, and maybe that was my biggest downfall. The cover makes the movie look like it has some good potential to be a campy classic... No such luck. The main character, Mulva, is painful to look at, and her voice is so terrible I had to keep adjusting the volume. The one saving grace of the film was a short Benny Hill segment that was very well done, and actually got a chuckle out of me.The second movie on this DVD, Filthy McNasty, was actualy better then Mulva, but still lacked the charm I would have liked. The upside was that no character was SO annoying as to make me want to turn it off. The demon Phil had phenominal makeup for such a low budget film. All in all, I can't reccomend this film, which is too bad... I wanted to.

Rating: Summary: Mulva, chocaolate syrup chump Review: If you want to see comedy and zombies in the same movie, stick with Troma, not this knock-off waste that isn't worth the time or money. I'm a fan of low-budget cinema, but this is crap on any budget. STAY AWAY!
Rating: Summary: Bottom of the barrel but strangely entertaining Review: It seems like everyone who reviewed this DVD before me either loved it or hated it. I fall somewhere in between the two extremes. The worst thing about it is the misleading cover. The attractive model pictured on the cover is not Mulva, and she does not appear in either one of the two movies. Mulva is actually a short, bespectacled, homely girl with chocolate smeared all over her mouth. When I first started watching the movie I turned it off within minutes. I couldn't handle the ultra-cheap, shot-on-a-home-video camera look of it all. (I was later shocked to find out it was shot digitally.) A couple days later, some friends and I watched the whole movie. I remember commenting several times that it was the worst movie I had ever seen. Other than a few cheap laughs, it seemed that Mulva had nothing to offer. Within a few days my friends and I were imitating the characters' voices, mainly Mulva and Mr. Bonejack. To date I have watched the movie five times and enjoy it more with each viewing. Those who are expecting good splatter FX should skip it, though. It was shot for $2000 so the makeup is pretty bad. The appeal of the movie lies in its energy, mainly in the ridiculously overwritten dialogue and the exaggerated acting (or nonacting) of the people involved. It's obvious watching it that everyone had a good time making the film. Filthy McNasty was marginally better made, so I actually liked it less. It had funny moments, but wasn't as overwhelmingly cheesy as Mulva. A word of advice: a few drinks will make these movies a lot more tolerable. I recommend this DVD to anyone who can appreciate campy humor and really, really low production values.
Rating: Summary: Ignore the Cover Photo! Review: Just a warning: the woman on the cover of this DVD has nothing to do with either of the movies on the disc. Neither she nor anyone remotely resembling her appears in either of the 2 flicks. So don't be lured in by hopes for hot chicks in schoolgirl outfits killing zombies with big guns. These movies are the kind of thing you and your buddies might shoot on your college campus if you ran around with a camcorder for a few weeks. If you like buying fan-made videos at cons, you might go for these. Briefly, on that level, the main feature, "Mulva", is good for some silly laughs. The other feature, "Filthy McNasty", is more boring, although at least it has a little nudity near the end. Lastly, kudos to the filmmakers for falling in with the Troma gang.
Rating: Summary: MULVA RULES!! Review: Mulva, performed by the ever talented Missy Donatutti, is one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. This low budget film not only combines; candy, Dr. Egon Spengler, Zomibes, and Bill Cosby, it's loaded with wigs, laughs and a side chocolate syrup. Mulva that was the best Halloween ever!! You're my hero!! Must have Must buy
