Review of The Video Dead (1987) by Alex R — 12 Sep 2011

The Video Dead is a forgotten gem of the horror genre. I believe that this one of the few cult films that really does hold up. Sure the film is not that great, but the idea is so unique that you can't really hate it.

This is film is an enjoyable take on zombies and manages to be lots of fun, if you can forgive the bad acting and dialogue. The Video Dead is one of those films that it's so bad it's good. The premise like I said is fairly unique.

Zombies live inside a TV set and start eating people with their grasp. For what it is, The Video Dead is an entertaining, barely heard of cult classic. The film has been relatively been obscured and forgotten about.

Only the most die hard of horror fans know about this little gem. The film does look cheap, but in the end, you don't care because this film is so much fun to watch. I thoroughly enjoyed this different style of zombie film.

Horror fans should try to seek this one out and they'll be surprised at how good this film really is. The film isn't perfect of course, but it's definitely an entertaining film to watch with friends.

I think it's too bad that The Video Dead has nearly been forgotten by the horror community and this is a gem waiting to be rediscovered. The film is cheesy and lots of fun. The Video Dead will probably appeal to fans of B movies as well as the traditional horror fan.

This is a very original film for what it is, and it's a very underrated film for what it is. A fun and amusing zombie flick.
