The last time we saw a movie from Terrence Williams, he was reviving the rape/revenge genre with The Hood Has Eyez, and he did a damn fine job of it. Now, Terrence has moved away from the violent drama, and decided to take a shot at a horror/comedy with Horno.
Horno is, of course, a cross between horror and porno, and it's where the story starts. An up and coming porn director has decided that he could break out of the porn scene by making a 'legit' movie...sort of. Because the porn producer he works for won't let him move completely away from porn, he talks him into a horror movie with porn mixed into it, so the movie is decided and production begins. The problem comes when a porn star that’s going to do a cameo in the movie comes across a new drug, one that just happens to turn anyone who takes it into a zombie! And, since porn actors love the drugs, you know that trouble is on the horizon.
While Horno is a fairly short (clocking in at less than an hour) and funny movie, it's obviously a low budget affair. The effects are alright, for a low budget, the acting is very good and the story is good. It's probably very hard to make a movie about porn, without putting any actual porn in it, but Williams does a pretty good job. Is Horno as good a movie as The Hood Has Eyez? Not really, but it's still a fun movie. Terrence has a good eye and a great sense of humor and story telling. I'd love to see what he could do with a bigger budget. I'm giving Horno two and a half out of four cigars, it's not perfect, in fact, I'd nearly consider it a demo for a movie to come, but it's still fun, the women are hot and the story is great.
