Review of Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things (1972) by Tim H — 27 Nov 2008
"Get out of the grave, Alan. Get out of the grave and let an artist show you how to call a curse down on Satan!".
I think I scared the poor lady half-to-death, or maybe I took her off guard, but either way I didn't hear so much as a peep out of her through the rest of the transaction. Oh well. Gives me something to giggle about.
If your a fan of early 70's zombie flicks, CSPWDT isn't all that bad. It has about the amount of acting talent that you would expect from a low-budget zombie flick and, although the storyline isn't exactly original, it has it's own unique feel and plot direction than other flicks of it's era. For example, it's more of a "zombie cult" film than your normal "innocent group of teenagers suddenly attacked" plot. I'm not saying the zombie cult idea hasn't been done by others before, take The Dead Next Door for example, but it's what the cult does with the dead is what is original.
