Death Factory (2002)
Directed by Brad Sykes
Starring: Lisa Jay, Karla Zamudio, Jeff Ryan, Rhoda Jordan, David Kalamus, and Tiffany Shepis.

Six college students sneak into an abandoned chemical factory for an end of the semester party. Once there, they become the prey of a mutated former employee (Tiffany Shepis) of the factory who craves human blood. The partiers must find their way out of the labyrinthine building before they all become lunch for the creature.

Those critical of low budget productions and trite dialogue should steer clear of this movie. However, as most horror fans will tell you, budget doesn't have anything to do with quality. In fact, most horror directors shine when their budgets are cut or raised themselves. When a director knows what his/her limitations are, they usually give the audience exactly what it wants. This is the case in Death Factory.

Brad Sykes is a competent director and the actors (especially Jay, Zamudio, and Shepis) put in some energetic (albeit cheesy) performances. There's even a cameo by Ron Jeremy to spruce things up a bit. The pacing of the film is handled very well and it never gets dull. The creature effects are simple yet effective and the gore is supplied generously.

Overall, Death Factory is fun. If college kids running around in a factory with a half human killing machine on their tails isn't your idea of a good time well... You're beyond help. There's nothing pretentious or lofty here, so take off your thinking cap and kick off your shoes, this straight to video gem will make your night.
