Cheesetastic I guess would be the best word for this, I loved The Bride zombie she totally cracked me up. Memorable washing machine scene too :)…

As far as zombies go, this is different and fun…

Horribly awesome zombie movie--The Video Dud…

Okay low budget horror film about six zombies who come out of a haunted television to terrorize a small neighborhood…

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…

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…

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