ATTILA is another cheesy and laughable sci-fi/horror movie from The Asylm. At least this isn't one of their 'mockbusters', but rather an original slice of programming. After an amusingly poor opening, we cut to the usual bunch of soldiers and scientist types who unearth the body of the evil Attila the Hun and bring it back to the laboratory for experimentation. What follows is a typical killer-on-the-loose story, with some bad CGI effects and gore and plenty of worse acting and contrived plotting. The script is the worst thing here, which is always the case in an Asylum movie, and it's a hard film to get any enjoyment from.

The first six minutes of this Asylum adventure gives us a pseudo history of Attila the Hun, who found Moses' staff that will raise the dead, give riches, and grant immortality. After he finds the staff, he breaks it in three pieces and hides them because...he can. The U.S. military finds the third piece in Eastern Europe guarded by Attila's dead son. When push come to shove, the SON who is depicted on the DVD cover, comes to life and grunts and kill things. He is capable of withstanding CG bullets, CG grenades, and a CG bazooka. Much of the film is consumed with a group of military men hunting said son in the woods getting themselves killed. The ending was as f-upped as the rest of the film with the final battle of grunting warriors causing me to scratch my head. I would venture to say the film is called "Attila" because it marketed better than "Revenge of Attila's Dead Grunting Son."

This is not a film for series or semi-series viewers. Asylum fans might like the silliness of the film. In one scene they pry open a wooden crate. Once they pop it loose, they open the lid and you can hear old hinges squeak. There were no hinges.

Parental Guide: F-bombs. No sex or nudity.

Here's my take on the movie. Story...okay. Acting...so-so. The US Army uniforms are a joke. They looked like slobs and no one was in the same uniform. White t-shirts, green t-shirts and black t-shirts on the same base. Doesn't happen. If you're going to make a movie with soldiers in it, at least do some research. It killed me to look at the Army General's uniform. He had a Navy Achievement Medal and a Combat Action Ribbon (Marines) but no Army medals... once again do 2 minutes of research to make it a bit more believable. I started to tune it out when the CPT said, it happened at zero twelve hundred (01200?). When is that? If they would have at least got actors with military haircuts and the right uniforms, I may have watched it all the way through. I only watched as much as I did because Mikayla Campbell is pretty dang hot.
