Manborg to the rescue
A soldier gets brought back to life as a cyborg called Manborg (an earnest and engaging performance by Matthew Kennedy). Manborg leads a motley band of misfits in a desperate last stand against the evil Count Draculon (a deliciously hammy portrayal by Adam Brooks) and his horde of demons.

Director/co-writer Steven Kostanski comes through like gangbusters with this infectiously affectionate and uproarious homage/parody of blithely trashy low-budget 80’s sci-fi/horror schlock: We’ve got an enjoyably ridiculous story that zips along at a breathless brisk pace, cornball sentiment, lots of choice cruddy dialogue (“The power of the human spirit will never be obsolete”), colorful characters, purposefully shoddy (far from) special effects, a wickedly funny sense of self-mocking humor, funky stop-motion animation monsters, outrageously excessive gore, and a spot-on pulpy aesthetic along with a winning tongue-in-cheek tone. Moreover, it’s acted with zest by an enthusiastic cast: Meredith Sweeney as the spunky Mina, Conor Sweeney as brash punk Justice, Ludwig Lee as ace martial artist #1 Man (special kudos to Kyle Hebert as the hilariously obvious dubbed voice of #1 Man), Jeremy Gillespie as the lovestruck Baron, Andrea Karr as vicious lackey Shadow Mega, and Mike Kostanski as the manic Little Guy. A total loony hoot and a half.Read More
