The concept of zombies that come out of the TV was promising but not executed as well as it could have…

I love the box art for this, but it was not enough to make it a good movie…

Absolute bollocks, but frankly, what do you expect from a film called The Video Dead in which zombies climb out of a cursed TV set and kill…

I was surprised....it's actually not all that bad…

My kind of movie. Cheesy b-movie zombie fun…

Initially very satisfying- punk rock suburbs, autumn, low budget and cool…

The Video Dead is one of those horror films that you're either with or you're not, and I can't say that I'm totally on board with it, so call…

Terrible, but that doesn't mean I don't like it…

I would like to say that The Video Dead is the zombie equivalent of Killer Klowns but it's not as funny or interesting…
