     After watching Porkchop and really enjoying it I looked up the director Eamon Hardiman to see if he had made any other films.  I found out that he releases films under Razor Sharp Studios and has done so for years.  I  also found out he has released a number of films to date and some have an impressive cast of b-grade horror actors and actresses.  Among the list of his films I found this one.  I was pretty excited to see this one.  After watching the trailer and reading synopsis I knew this movie would be a very fun watch and filled with a lot of laughs.
     This film follows Burt Flemming, the owner of a hotel casino, as he does illegal abortions in the basement of his establishment.  Due to abortions being legal now he is starting to lose a lot of business to certified doctors and needs to think of ways to bring the customers in.  Burt, being the evil genius he is, decides to host an abort-a-thon where expecting parents can come and have their unplanned pregnancies sucked out and then relax in a care free environment.  A few couples decide that is exactly what they need and venture off to see 'ol Burt.  Burt aborts the babies and piles the remains in the basement next to his moonshine still.  However, his still busts and the moonshine spills onto the pile of dead babies which re-animates them. The babies then set out to seek revenge and punish those would be mothers that gave them up.
     I guess after watching Porkchop this movie has a lot to live up to and for the most part it did just that.  The story is extremely absurd but that is why the movie is so appealing.  The movie does deliver what I was hoping for but it has major flaws that makes it almost unbearable to watch.  The audio is all out of whack with this flick.  Some points in the movie the audio does not sync up with the mouth movement at all and at other points the audio cuts completely out for a split second.  There is another problem with the audio as well, at times the background music gets a little cocky and steals the show by drowning out the cast.   The acting in this film is decent at times while at others I kind of feel embarrassed for them.  Overall the movie itself is extremely good but the audio and random spurts of bad acting makes this movie receive a 2.5 rating instead of higher.  The director is trying to rally enough money to remake it the way he wanted to the first time around and I sincerely hopes he does because that will be a great film.   Watch it if you want or just wait for the remake...your choice.
