To say The Video Dead is not the best movie is somewhat obvious. But this ultra cheap and ridiculous horror flick is a decent timekiller at the very least. The plot is a television that constantly plays a low budget zombie movie that comes out of the television and attacks the viewer. To contemplate,"who thinks of this crap"? The greater question is who thought this was a good idea to fund and actually make this. Funds are tight here and it shows, I would guess most of the money for this project would go to the special f/x, which are pretty decent actually with some nice gore. The overnight quality of this is quite low and has some awesomely bad acting, that has the bar set even lower for low budget horror. Like I said previously, The Video Dead is not a good movie, but is so blatantly 80's and ultra cheesy and ludicrous, it is hard not to enjoy it a little .
There are some positives. The practical effects involving televisions sets are pretty cool. They put serious time and effort into the zombies - they look great for a no budget movie!
However, the movie itself is driven by some absolutely absurd logic and ridiculous decision-making on the part of its characters. I'm at a loss for how it didn't get the MST3K treatment and hasn't gotten the Rifftrax treatment.
It's fun, but in a you're laughing at it, not with it, sort of way.

I loved this film even though others might not agree with me i found it throughly entertaining. I loved the characters there's quiet innocent girl April,sex-drug crazed Jeff,and suspicious frightened girl Zoe!Even the zombie's are good and throughly scary especially the one with the glasses (watch it and you'll see what i mean. It might be put down as a silly cheap horror flick but i enjoyed it: 7/10
I saw this movie once when I was 12, and I loved it. I saw it again at 23 and now it became stupid. I say stupid, but definitely funny. The best scenes are unintended. My favorite is when a man offers a delivery man cigarette but the delivery man says no, shows him his dip (tobacco) and spits....and then you get a close up of the tobacco splatter onto the ground.
One of the better lines in the movie is when a girl's dog-sitting and the dog has run away. She's afraid of the dog trying to mate with a skunk because apparently this has happened before and she says something like " he gets horny and tries to hump skunks and the skunk sprays him and that gets him even more horny...oh no, what am I going to do?"
All in all, I recommend this movie to those who do not expect much and are deeply submersed in the bad horror movie genre.

I wish all movies were this great. It's a movie where zombies come out of a television and it's up to 2 goofy teenagers and some sort of zombie hunter to stop them. The acting was horrible, it's set in the mid-80's and has all the big hair and cheesy music you could ask for. The plot has millions of holes in it that are explained with brief statements by the supporting cast, and there is plenty of blood in it. The only disappointing thing about this movie is that there were a few spots that could have been gory as hell but just weren't taken advantage of. For one, the part where the zombie's hand gets thrown in the garbage disposal. And then the part where some lady was stuffed in a washer; blood could have been everywhere, but no blood. Other than that, the movie was cool. The best line was after the dog got lost and April saying in one run-on sentence "You don't understand he likes to go into the woods and try to mate with skunks only skunks don't like to mate with poodles so they spray him and then he really gets turned on!". Solid!

- WissenswertesA sequel was written for the film, but never materialized. It was to do with a victim instead being pulled into the television set, rather than the zombies coming out, and having to find a way out before the film ended. Director Robert Scott wanted a lot more zombie action, and far more zombies than in his original film but was offered the same budget as the first to make the sequel - he declined and a sequel has yet to come to fruition.
- PatzerWhen Jeff and April find Chocolate, the dog, dead in the woods, the one short shot of the dog clearly shows that it is breathing.
