Evil Breed: The Legend of Samhain

I've been waiting since late 2003 to see this film which was then known as Samhain. What originally caught my attention was the likes of Jenna Jameson, Chasey Lain, Ginger Lynn Allen, and Taylor Hayes making appearances as what I thought at the time, were leading roles. A few years and a title change later and I have just this moment finished watching it. I've never bothered to write a review before but feel it is my duty to warn others that may be duped into buying this for the same reasons I did.

Jenna Jameson is on screen in total for less than a minute and has about 4 short lines of dialogue and yet she appears all over the front and back covers of the dvd case.
Chasey Lain is in the film slightly longer at the very beginning with Richard Grieco (Billed on the front cover as a major star) as campers who are quickly disposed of in the opening 5 minutes. Taylor Hayes makes a short appearance towards the end of the film as one of the cannibals hostages used for breeding. Having been held for possibly over a year, she looks quite good and clean despite being chained up in a cave.
Ginger Lynn Allen appears as the sister of the cottage caretaker. Her acting ability isn't too bad but as another reviewer pointed out, her Irish accent quickly diminuishes as the film progresses. The Irish caretaker Gary appears as the typical local looney who warns the tourists of the perilous dangers that await them and is even said to be clairvoyant, yet ironically, can't forsee is own miserable death which I couldn't help but think was something out of a Troma film. He has got to be one of the worst actors I have ever seen, and his accent is not so much laughable as it is sad and pathetic.
The rest of the cast are not much better with the character of Steve being frustratingly annoying whilst constantly picking on and tormenting the frigid Shae but somehow gets to bone the hottest girl in the movie, Barbara.
Shae who we know right away will survive but unlike most "heroes/survivors" doesn't get a great deal of screen time, as does anyone else really for that matter.

The villains/monsters of the film look very much like the Toxic Avenger meets the Jason Voorhees Part 2 (As once again, another reviewer has pointed out).

There is a scene at the end when Shae is killing one of the monsters and whilst pounding his skull with a frying pan is having brief flashbacks of her friends that have been killed. This wouldn't be too bad if it weren't for the fact that in her flashback are characters that she did not meet in the film such as Jenna Jameson's character and also of a character that she in fact killed, although accidently!).

The ending is typically bad in that all that you can think about when the credits begin to roll is "What the **** just happened? Why did she do that?" It's as if the makers decided "Hmmm, this movie isn't quite bad yet, what can we do to make it worse?"
The director has appeared on the boards at IMDB as stating that this is not the film he intended to make and that massive edits were made without his consent and blah blah blah. He states much of the gore and humour was removed from the film. This is all too obvious as the film has little gore and even less humour (Why do so many supposed horror films try to be funny? Can't they just focus on being scary and bloody?).

All in all, Evil Breed: The Legend Of Samhain is just plain bad and does not deliver what it promises. Known names and faces on the covers that are barely in the film, very little gore, and poor acting.
You have been warned.

Basic slasher film that doesn't even rate one star.But I do give it one star for the 2 uncut scenes added to the disc.The one with porn queen Jenna's inplants being so durable that the guy no matter how hard he tried to chew on them couldn't make them leak.The second scene of the anal probe with the knife was a prime biological example that the human body has one hell of a long intestine. That guy's intestines even flatulated during the removal process.Although extremely gory ya cant help but laugh at this whole globby mess.Im still in the dark what the ending was about it made no sense at all.But I guess chewey implants, farting bowel removals and bouncing breasts was what the whole plot line of this film anyway.

Let me tell you some of what you will get with this flick:

1.Ginger Lynn Allen doing a VERY bad Irish accent which gets thinner as the movie goes along.

2.The first half is a bore with bad "Scream" inspired dialogue. The second half is pure silliness.

3.Porn queen Jenna Jameson is in the movie for about 3 minutes. So is Chasey Lain.

4.Jameson's death scene is hysterical. First, the look on her face when she gets cut open. Then, when the creature begins pulling out her organs, he begins to chomp down on, of all things, her BREAST IMPLANTS!!!!!!

5.More boring teens, except for a cute, naked blonde.

6.The final scene, which makes absolutely ZERO sense.

But there are a few good moments. The story of Samhain and the Druids rituals that created Halloween. The uncensored, bonus scenes (one of which is the aforementioned Jameson death scene.) The other scene sees a guy getting his intestines pulled out through his rear end!!! They are both gory and hilarious.

Yes indeed, this one is something to see. (The second half anyway.)
