Audience Member This is a pretty bad super low budget film about a dude that comes back from the war in Afganistan with something wrong with him (basically a big maggot/penis growing in his brain that turns him into a flesh eating zombie). Sounds ok but the acting is atrocious and nothing at all happens apart from right at the end when he eats everybody (apart from his mum who bashes his head in, including the big maggot/penis thing). The one redeeming feature of this film is that it features probably the hottest girl I have ever seen in a film (or in real life for that matter). You can't even find many pics of her on the net so here you are: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3069/5864016170_8569d9595e.jpg Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member The worst Fred Vogel movie ever made yet(because I've not seen Murder Collection V.1 and Necrophagia: Sickcess). If you want to see this, fast forward until the last 15 minutes because the 'real scene' was start at this point. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member AU was great. Redsin great too. Vogel got better as a filmmaker with Redsin and it had a great story to go along with what you'd expect from Toetag. But Sella had too much story and not enough of horror. Storyline was too long and didnt explain well enough. Great EFX at the end though. Vogel and Toetag are growing though. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member The newest film from Toetag Pictures takes a more serious turn than the August Underground series, Maskhead, or even The Redsin Tower. The film's title refers to a portion of the human skull, and the movie is obviously a homage to Bob Clarke's classic Dead of Night (aka Deathdream and several other titles) in which a family receives a report that their son has been killed in action during the Vietnam War only to have him return home the next day. Sella Turcica by no means follows the same development as Clarke's zombie classics; however, the influence is readily apparent. For the most part, Sella Turcica is a badly acted drama that ultimately takes a twisted turn. The ending will not disappoint, but it does take a while to get there--the film is almost two hours long. Overall, Sella Turcica marks a welcome departure for the Toetag gang as they attempt to inject story and depth while also trying to maintain their brutality. Sella Turcica fails mainly because the acting is so terrible--the bad acting in the August Underground films, Redsin Tower, and Maskhead is forgiveable because those films are meant to be a twisted blend of humor and mutilation. However, if Toetag wants to make more serious films like this, then they are going to have to find actors and actresses who can pull off the parts. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member While this movie has a horribly long build up, it does pay off for the last few moments. I am surprised by this movie because of the concentration on characterization or Brad and Ashley throughout. Makes the payoff much more profound. The movie isn't without fault, but was enjoyable, and nice to see a 'zombie' type film relying more on the buildup rather than just blood and guts. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member <3 Loved it. A+ Fred Vogel and Toetag. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
