It's election year, and Senator Du Sang (Eric Roberts) has to defend
his seat against sleazy Bruno Bastine III (Bill Victor Arucan), who might
not exactly play it fair, having a giant winged monster, Zawazo, in his
back yard. But the good Senator isn't one to follow any rulebook either,
as he has sacrificed his own son in a voodoo ceremony to hold onto power -
oh, and he keeps a giant monster, Nodoto, an ancient God that's pretty
much a snake crossed with an elephant, in his "wine cellar" -
where he just loves to send donors who refuse to pay up. Phil (James
Balsamo), a private eye with anger issue (which are treated by Brinke
Stevens), is hired by Bastine to dig up some dirt on Du Sang, and he's
really good at what he does, however like Icarus he eventually comes too
close to the sun ... Now when it comes to narrative structure,
this movie might not be at the top of its game as it's more of a sequence
of monster scenes, campaign ads, news footage, Eric Roberts being his
sinister best, and James Balsamo bumbling about, with the occasional sex
scene thrown in. But structure or not, all these elements are already
enough to make this film loads of fun, a rather spirited blend of
thriller, broad political satire and monster movie that doesn't take
itself seriously at all, and the wonderfully old school practical monster
effects as well as the many cameos by genre favourites (Brinke Stevens,
Felissa Rose, Steve Railsback, Eileen Dietz, Elissa Dowling, Sheri Davis,
Tuesday Knight, to name but a few) are really just the icing on the cake
to make this one really fun ride.
