A soldier gets brought back to life as a cyborg called Manborg (an earnest and engaging performance by Matthew Kennedy). Manborg leads a motley band of misfits in a desperate last stand against the evil Count Draculon (a deliciously hammy portrayal by Adam Brooks) and his horde of demons.Director/co-writer Steven Kostanski comes through like gangbusters with this infectiously affectionate and uproarious homage/parody of blithely trashy low-budget 80's sci-fi/horror schlock: We've got an enjoyably ridiculous story that zips along at a breathless brisk pace, cornball sentiment, lots of choice cruddy dialogue ("The power of the human spirit will never be obsolete"), colorful characters, purposefully shoddy (far from) special effects, a wickedly funny sense of self-mocking humor, funky stop-motion animation monsters, outrageously excessive gore, and a spot-on pulpy aesthetic along with a winning tongue-in-cheek tone. Moreover, it's acted with zest by an enthusiastic cast: Meredith Sweeney as the spunky Mina, Conor Sweeney as brash punk Justice, Ludwig Lee as ace martial artist #1 Man (special kudos to Kyle Hebert as the hilariously obvious dubbed voice of #1 Man), Jeremy Gillespie as the lovestruck Baron, Andrea Karr as vicious lackey Shadow Mega, and Mike Kostanski as the manic Little Guy. A total loony hoot and a half.

The horror/cult revelation of the still very young new decade is undoubtedly Astron-6. This outrageous five-headed coalition (Adam Brooks, Jeremy Gillespie, Connor Sweeney, Matthew Kennedy and Steven Kostanski) accomplished their modest breakthrough in 2011 with no less than two long feature films that appeal to the craziest of horror fans around the globe, namely the superb "Father's Day" and this demented little thing named "Manborg". I can only describe "Manborg" as a totally absurd and bizarrely creative throwback to the era of primitive video games, grotesque Science-Fiction blockbusters of the 80's and early 90's and the result of a bunch of weirdos brainstorming crazy ideas. The set pieces and decors of "Manborg" intentionally look terribly cheap and amateurish, the acting performances are deliberately and over-the-top inept and the special effects & make-up qualify as hilarious camp. The story is slightly less "all over the place" as the case in "Father's Day", but still very incoherent and chaotic. In a (distant?) future, the last remaining humans are at war against demons, zombies, vampires and a whole lot of other monstrous species from the underground. One soldier, who died at the battlefield, wakes up again in a laboratory, rebuilt as a cyborg and still in captivity of the horrendous demonic leader Draculon. Together with three other humanoid survivors (two crazed siblings and one deliciously bad-dubbed Asian martial arts hero) Manborg is forced to fight as a gladiator in a futuristic arena, but they are skilled and headstrong enough to revolt against their enemies. This is the ideal entertainment to watch at a Film Festival; together with a chock-full theater of equally avid and enthusiast freaks. The crowd literally goes wild upon being exposed to such a massive amount of gore, camp, deliberate incompetence, craziness and smut! The sound and light effects catapult you straight back to the days when you were playing "Space Invaders" on a prehistoric thick green-screen computer and the awful English dubbing of the #1 man character caused the entire audience to laugh out loud every single he opened his mouth. The screenplay is stuffed with tiny imaginative details, tongue-in-cheek references and lovely gimmicks. The design of the demons and garden variety of other creatures is quite phenomenal and they could actually qualify as genuinely horrific if used in a less light-headed scenario. Doctor Scorpius, for instance, is a much scarier looking villain than all the creeps in big budgeted blockbusters. This shouldn't come too much as a surprise, since most of the Astron-6 members have a background in special effects and/or animation. "Manborg" is marvelous and warmly recommended cult entertainment, if you have a bizarre sense of humor and a good sense of tastelessness, of course.
I had expected this to be low budget, sure, but I was nowhere prepared for the atrocity that this movie turned out to be. The movie was made in 2011, but it had a very 1980s touch to it, with special effects from the 1970s. It was such an abominable eyesore to witness.This movie is hopefully a spoof on other low budget movies, because it like like one big massive farce. If it wasn't, then I don't even know where to start.The story in this movie was as to be expected. Earth is at war with Hell. Yes! Hell! And Earth is losing. A soldier is brought back to life as a cyborg in the future to help mankind battle the forces of Hell.The effects were so horribly bad that you constantly sit there laughing and shaking your head in disbelief. Oddly enough, the level of badness just keeps you wanting to see more. I stuck with this movie to the end just to see how much more worse things could be. I think around 90% of the movie was filmed in front of a green screen.The characters in the movie were just as bad as the effects. They looked like a mixture of pre-Mortal Kombat and a rockshow gone bad. The manborg looked like something dished up in an arts and crafts class. #1 man was a poor Liu Kang clone, and his awful dubbed speech was equally bad. The Justice character looked like Billy Idol after having lost his fame and fortune. However, what the movie had working for it was the Nazi-like demonic creatures. There were some pretty good make-up and designs here.As for the dialogue, well lets just say it matched the rest of the movie. Enough said.It should be said that everything is just so bad on every level, that the movie is actually worth sticking around for to the very end. There are worse movies available, but "Manborg" does a great job at trying to get to the top ten list of worst movies ever.
