Mulva: Zombie Ass Kicker! (2001)

People are voting emotionally.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

I've been tempted to buy this movie for a couple years now, but never got around to it. Most recently, I bought one of Chris Seavers more recent films, Terror At Blood Fart Lake, which would introduce me to the LBP universe. Well, to be blunt, I was angry. Angry at myself for paying for it, angry at Seaver for making it, I was even a little angry at Amazon for selling it. But then, something completely unexpected happened, I watched it again... and again, and again, and again, and you know what? LBP won me over. Terror At Blood Fart Lake is now one of my all-time favorite B-movies, which now brings us to Mulva: Zombie Ass Kicker. Naturally, after discovering the masterpiece of Blood Fart Lake, I would be much more open to giving Mulva a chance, and that's exactly what I did. But now, I don't know what to think...First things first, I don't know who that is on the cover, but that hot chick ain't Mulva. Pretty clever, but it would still be nice if Mulva was hot, or at least a half-way decent-looking human. I don't know what it is about the real Mulva that's supposed to be funny, and I truly do not want to know. Mulva is an obnoxious, goofy, extremely unfunny candy addict, who, after a traumatizing experience, hasn't been mentally capable of trick or treating. Tonight, all that changes, for tonight, Mulva will trick and/or treat as long as there's not a Zombie outbreak, or anything like that.Now that there's a zombie outbreak (sort of), the good citizens of Tromaville, yes, Tromaville, New Jersey, will no doubt be torn apart in a very unrealistic manner, by the very unrealistic-looking living-dead, yet, Mulva is only concerned with preventing her candy from being stolen.Along with Mr. Bonejack, the legendary Teen Ape, and some fat girl, Mulva sets out to kick some zombie ass, prevent Halloween from being ruined, and maybe even save some lives. Oh yeah, and there's also shameful amounts of puns, gags, and inside jokes.As for the sequel, Mulva 2: Kill Teen Ape, you'll be pleased to know that the hot chick on that cover is indeed the hot chick on that cover. Our pal, Debbie Rochon takes over the role, as I can only assume the original was eventually put out of its misery. Mulva: Zombie Ass Kicker reminds me more so of one of those shot-on-video introductions to a Troma movie, more so than an actual movie, however, this is definitely a movie, and no one can take that away from it. And you probably thought this was Seavers first film. surprisingly not, not even close, just the earliest listed on IMDb. I'm surprised they listed this one. It doesn't get much more amateur than Mulva. As borderline traumatizing as my most recent LBP experience was, I am sooooo ready for more. No, really. Seavers films are addicting. They seem really stupid at first, but there's some genius humor going on in LBP, and yes, I am aware that Mulva: Zombie Ass Kicker is clearly not the best example of that theory. This might sound ridiculous to some, but Chris Seaver just might be the great B-movie director of this era. That's right, the next H. G. Lewis, the next Lloyd Kaufman, or John Waters, or hell, at least the next Ray Dennis Steckler. In an age where stuff like Clerks and Pulp Fiction is what people consider independent film, Seavage and his pals keep the drive-in alive, with a company that may, at first come off as a half-ass Troma, but could ultimately be exactly what the B-Horror universe needs to evolve. I predict big things for Low Budget Pictures... or at least a whole lot of little things. As much as I love LBP, I'm not going to insult anyone's intelligence and play it off like Mulva: Zombie Ass Kicker is one of my all-time favorites, but the pure awsomeness of Blood Fart Lake has given me the patience to see the beauty in any pile of garbage, as long as it came from Chris Seaver, but for the record, this one is pretty bad, and the original Mulva is pretty irritating. I'm not particularly proud of myself for doing this, but my new-found loyalty to LBP is just too overwhelming, *sigh*... I'm giving Mulva a perfect score. 10/10

Here's a shlock/horror double-feature that's both raw and steaming. Featuring gags o' plenty--they pile it on and never stop to flush. If you're looking for less spit and more polish, pull out Creepshow or stick to mainstream action flicks--Blayde etc...Mulva: delivers the goods.Of course every such film has detractors, but let's put this in its proper context. This is a triple-B flick. It carves itself out of a squalid genre, and those who hate it for being as such are silly.In appreciation of this effort, behold unbelievable whining from the clueless: those who didn't know what to expect when they rented a movie called "Mulva: Zombie Ass-kicker"......Ugh, the lead actress was gross!...Ooh, the acting was unprofessional....Bah, the budget was low...Ummm, duhh! Were you expecting anything less than a craptastigorifsycal cinema-shltfest?Now, realize that these sentiments that complainoids and their ilk make are the reasons this movie isn't a waste of time. And maybe, just maybe (deep down) you'll like it.So if you want to take a stab at every little sacred cliché, rent it "again for the first time," snoogins!

I'd read the reviews here and most of them do mention that this has low production values but saying this really doesn't capture the atrocity of Mulva.This has obviously been filmed on video with some scenes even showing what looks like magnetic interference on the tape. The sound is mostly location recorded and is usually unintelligible... this isn't helped by the fact the main character speaks with a terrible lisp throughout. Everyone else shouts to try and be picked up by the camcorder mic and sound distorted. There is little to no lighting work and the camera appears to be hand held most of the time.Now I realise this is low budget ($2000 I read somewhere) and the production company even call themselves low budget productions but as they are obviously aware that this looks like the cheapest trash ever I'd have hoped they'd try to use skill and talent to counter some of their limitations. Instead they frequently lampoon the state of their production values, lack of actor talent and ludicrous script. I'm sure the people making it thought this was hilarious and indeed this is exactly the sort of film Id make if I had a bunch of mates with loads of free time and a camcorder. However I'd never subject others to it, let alone distribute it on dvd. I can only assume that the other reviewers here are connoisseurs of extremely low budget film and knew what to expect in terms of production values and took the film purely on content value. I'll admit I did find myself laughing at some of the genre humor but it mostly felt forced with purposely overlong dialogue("I'm going to go as Egon Spengler from the 1984 film ghost busters as portrayed brilliantly by actor and writer Harold Ramis"). If delivered faultlessly this could be funny but as it was next to unintelligible due to bad sound, a lisp and an actress tripping over her lines, I felt more like crying than laughing.In the end I felt ultimately cheated and I think anyone who expects even the most basic elements of filmmaking skill will do to.

Mulva is a silly low budget movie mulva is the most annoying character youll ever encounter but the villains chest mclargehuge and of course my favorite Takateru *"you son of a bitch" hahaha* really make the movie worthwhileof course rob ezelius aka randal was also very wonderful as a dork that gets the first kill of the movieif you have low expectations..and want to hear some funny lines...and can stand 2 of the most annoying girls ever... this movie is for youtwo thumbs up
