Aftershock
Rated R, 90 minutes
Produced by and starring horror auteur Eli Roth (“Cabin
Fever,” “Hostel,” the Bear Jew in “Inglourious Basterds”), “Aftershock” offers
a gory few hours after a massive earthquake rocks Chile.
The characters consist of a couple
of locals and an American (Roth) who are partying it up, they cross paths with
some ladies and to the disco they go. But when the quake hits, the speakers and
lights fall from the sky, raining death on the panicked crowd below. Some of
our main characters escape, but outside they realize chaos is overrun the
streets as a nearby prison wall has collapsed and criminals are running free.
So not only most our characters try to find a way out of the collapsing city,
they must avoid free and horny prison inmates. SPOILER ALERT - things don’t end
well for anyone, especially Roth, but you have to laugh at the absurd and
horrible things that happen to these people.
“Aftershock”
is filled with laughs, light on the message, full of gore and offers a cheesy
B-level vibe that will entertain genre fans. Just wait until it hits redbox to
watch it.
