Surprisingly good

"Writer/director Dave Payne remakes his own earlier flick Reeker with No Man's Land: Rise of Reeker, brought to DVD under the newly-minted Ghost House Underground label. If you've already seen Reeker, there is nothing here with No Man's Land that will surprise you in the least. That being said, if you haven't, you'll find No Man's Land a surprisingly good and enjoyable horror flick that delivers the goods. The storyline revolves around a serial killer being put to death, claiming that his crimes were practice for his work in the next life. Turns out he wasn't kidding, when years later a group of strangers in the desert find themselves hunted down by a murderous, demonic force. To make matters worse, stranger things are occuring that you just have to see to believe. There is a certain degree of campiness to No Man's Land to be sure, but for its running time, this flick manages to satisfy in terms of gore, and even some laugh loud moments to boot. There's a delicious twist to be seen as well that is actually kind of inventive, but as said before, if you've seen the original Reeker, it won't be anything to come as a surprise. All in all, No Man's Land: Rise of Reeker is one of the gems of the Ghost House Underground lineup, and is worth seeing whether you enjoyed the old Reeker movie or are new to Dave Payne's creation."

"one thing about the movie that none of the other reviewers has mentioned is that it stars the very pretty young actress mircea monroe. having a sexy female lead vastly improves any horror movie and that goes double for this one. i watched the movie twice, the second time to check out mircea monroe again. on second viewing i did come to understand the dopey plot. not that it matters much. still, this is a very solid redbox rental. if only for mircea monroe and a few gore inspired laughs."

JUST HORROR-BLE

"Believe K Dwaynes review. This movie is about the origins of the putrid smelling apparition called "The Reeker". The original movie was pretty bad but this one makes the first one look like a masterpiece.



There is not one character you care about and hope they meet the reeker soon but it's not to be. Included in this list of cyphers is an incompetent retiring sheriff, his idiot of a deputy who is also his estranged son. Sonny boy couldn't make it as a policeman in the big city so daddy pulled some strings and got him a job in the middle of nowhere.



The story takes place at a greasy spoon diner next to a seedy motel that makes the bates motel look like the Hilton. Included in the plot are three stupid bank robbers-the waitress girlfriend of one of the robbers and a woman doctor.



Oh and the reeker somehow forms an invisible wall around this location trapping everyone and when one of the bank robbers tries to make his escape his car runs into the invisible wall and he loses half his skull exposing his brain. He survives but his friend thinks he looks gross so he makes him wear a garbage bag on his head. They would have done better if they had put this film in the garbage bag.



Bad movie bad, bad and beware any reviews over one star."
