Like going on a stag-do with people you hate, this beta-male bilge is far too Neanderthal to do much more than drag its knuckles on the ground…

The ultimate in cheesy zombie films scared the shit out of me when I first watched it, thought zombies were going to come out the tv and get…

Relatively smart arboreal zombies emerge from a haunted TV set. Beasts, Blood, but No Breasts…

I thought this was amusing. It gets reeeeally slow. I'm not sure what happens through part of the movie but it picks back up again…

A absolute 80ies treasure. I'm so glad I invested money in this old battered VHS copy…

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

I remember watching this movie on late night creature feature films and though to myself, Wow how scary would that be for zombies to come out…

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

Straight to video 80's zombie flick, pretty obscure film is slightly better than one would think…

Thought the 80s camp was perfect despite the terrible acting. I personally was very fascinated with the unusual zombie concept…

It starts well, as far as b-movies go, and can actually be rather creepy but it runs out of ideas fast…
