Let's be realistic.

Absolutely brilliant

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

A Masterpiece!

Two stoners are on their way to a desert town to visit their cousin when they are picked up by a man offering them a lift in his car. But it turns out that the man is a psychotic killer. Their cousin tries to rescue them. Meanwhile a pair of astonishingly inept undead hit men are 'recruiting' people to become undead soldiers for their master Togaio, an evil immortal. Togaio is also after Geena, a female immortal who is the last member of her race, now working as a waitress in a bar. After being rescued from the psycho, the stoners & their cousin arrive at the bar at the same time as Togaio & his army. When their presence triggers one hell of an ugly barroom brawl, the stoners attempt to save Geena from Togaio. Legion of the Dead (or to use the on screen title, which is simply Legion) is perhaps one of the worst films I have ever seen. It really staggers belief that an extremely pathetic piece of trash like this would b e made in this day & age. The film is the directorial debut of visual effects artist Olaf Ittenbach (it would be ironically fitting that Ittenbach would later be doing effects work for fellow German filmmaker Uwe Boll on his film BloodRayne).You get a sinking feeling when the film starts with two stoners clearly stoned out of their mind having a ridiculous discussion about genitals, to the point that you wonder if Ittenbach is pulling your leg & making some kind of satire. Alas, that is not the case – the film tries to copy the success of Tarantino's early works (in particular Pulp Fiction), with two astoundingly inept & idiotic undead hit men killing people & having a running argument over the colour of their suits (one prefers the grey suits they are wearing but the other thinks they are ugly so makes the decision to get yellow suits). This madness grates on for what seems to be forever but is in fact one scene intercut with the plight of the two almost as stupid stoners being abducted & held prisoner by a crazed psychopath. Then we see the life of Geena, the friendly female immortal who has a sunny disposition & who cannot be killed except by a virus created by her opposite member.Having seen the film numerous times (in an effort to discern the almost totally insane plot), I can say with certainty that Olaf Ittenbach probably wrote a horror comedy but somehow lost control & the film was badly edited together to point that the story was jumbled up like a plate of spaghetti. Case in point the barroom brawl, which looks quite spectacular (particularly with the cool techno song playing in the background) but is the very definition of "mindless violence", mainly due to being incoherently edited & with several elements being left unexplained. The film ends on an equally incoherent ending that suggests some sort of time warp taking place.The acting is mostly bad. Matthias Hues is his usual self, making his role of Togaio the evil immortal quite good, although the only actors who comes close to matching him in the acting department are Kimberly Liebe as the good immortal & a madly glass-munching Christopher Kriesa who gives his role of the psychopathic killer some enthusiasm.

This movie is so bad it's almost amusing. It was obviously shot very well. I mean it looks really really good. The opening set-up looked really good and I was hoping for the best. And it starts off fairly well, too. Honest. But what's the deal with the story? I felt like it was 2 or 3 different ideas that were forced together. And it was not a good fit. It';s obviously a bad Dusk Til Dawn rip-off and even though it's really pretty bad, someone in me enjoyed it. I loan it to a lot of friends just to see the disgusted look on their faces when they return it.But since I found it cheap in the discount bin and bought it AFTER having already seen it, perhaps I'm the fool. LOL!

This movie was possibly the worst movie I have seen so far. Even in the last 10 minutes of the movie, I found myself wondering who certain random characters were, and what the hell was going on. The acting was less than mediocre, and what about the plot you may ask? What plot?? The humor was certainly not funny. I found myself getting irritated as the movie constantly insulted my intelligence in the form of crap comedy and poor dialogue.I wish I could say there was some sort of redeeming feature in this film...but there isn't. That's 90 minutes of my life that I will never be able to get back again, and $5 from the video store that I could have spent on a film that was entertaining. If I could give it 0/10 I would. Don't even think about seeing this movie.

This film really has no plot. It makes no sense. Yet it is just mindless fun for the viewer. Not every movie has to make sense, right? Sometimes ya just gotta watch a movie for fun, this is one of those films. I really wish we did have the pleasure of seeing an Uncut version. But sadly, they are not giving us one. However, this film is still fun. SOme great funny parts, some OKAY blood (not much...), and random violence! So invite some of your friends over and watch this mofo. It is entertaining in my opinion. It is better than THE ITEM...anything is come to think of it. I'd give this cool flick a 6/10. Decent.
