\"\"The Dark Power<\/em><\/strong> maybe had the potential to be a fun zombie-horror-comedy but like Alien Outlaw<\/em>, it meanders through most of its already short 80-minute running time and by the finale I kind of tuned out.<\/p>\n

THE MOVIE \u2014 1\u00be\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Plot Synopses: <\/strong>Weekend party plans are derailed when an ancient Toltec curse unleashes an army of zombies upon a houseful of college coeds. But the odds are evened when ship-cracking lawman Ranger Girard (LASH LARUE) arrives to stage a showdown with the evil dead.<\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review: The Dark Power<\/em><\/strong> was written and directed by Phil Smoot whose follow up to this, Alien Outlaw<\/em>, I saw only a few nights ago. This one is only slightly better though still plods along for the first two-thirds and when we finally sees these \u201czombies\u201d, it\u2019s quite underwhelming. On the plus side, Lash LaRue was a lot of fun and the ladies were nice to look at, however I\u2019m not sure what adding two out and out racists added to the story. Still, this wasn\u2019t a complete waste of time and I did manage to get all the way through without wanting me to turn it off.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
