Review of The Dead Next Door (1989) by Bryan G — 28 Mar 2012

[font=Courier New]I live in a really small town. We recently had a Best Buy open up, and me and my friend went to the grand opening because? well, nothing that exciting happens around here. While looking around the horror section, I stumbled on a couple of zombie movies. The first we watched, which was the second viewing for me, was [i]The Dead Next Door[/i].

I guess since I say it in all my reviews for films like this I?ll say it again. I love zombies! I will see anything with a zombie. Good or bad, I don?t care! Throw a zombie in there, and I will see it. [i]The Dead Next Door[/i] may not be up to par with films like [i]Night of the Living Dead[/i], but in its own little way it is a gem. And a gem to be seen by gore fans everywhere.

The movie is about a newly formed Zombie Squad, who is being used by the government to combat the rampant zombie problem destroying the world. They are seeking a cure for this epidemic, but a strange cult is determined to let the zombies win. Because they see this as God?s Will.

There isn?t much for plot in this movie. And the acting is some of the worst you will ever see. But there is enough gore-splattering good times, that I can forgive this movie for all its flaws. This isn?t a movie for everyone, just mostly zombie and gore-fiends. I?m glad that a company like Anchor Bay is willing enough to fund a DVD like this. And I?m glad I have this in my collection.[/font].
