The Burning Dead (Vulcano Zombies)

The acting, writing, editing, and production of this film is so terrible that it almost seems on purpose. How they want anyone to take this movie seriously is beyond me. A lava eruption that looks like fireworks, lava that looks like a blanket being dragged across the ground, and actors that look like they all failed the class and the casting directors felt sorry for them and gave them a shot, this film has it all. Words cannot describe the absolute crapfest that is "The Burning Dead"

This is the worst movie I have ever seen! First zombie movie I have ever seen where the characters only eat intestines and not brains!

Danny Trejo is in the movie for a few minutes but is the star? Horrible acting.

This movie even gives class B movies a bad name.

A bullet to the head doesn't kill these zombies but a fire extinguisher does? Pathetic.

What's up with the dude with the red bandana? I couldn't stop laughing every time I saw him. Hilarious!

Jenny Lin was jumping around with her boobs hanging out looking plain stupid. Please quit acting and do us all a favor.

I love zombie movies... However, this can't even be considered a zombie movie! The cinematography is absolutely horrible, the visual effects (or lack of) are a waste of time and the acting isn't even good enough to be called, "B Movie" acting! The whole synopsis is a joke. I will give the writer props for thinking of a new and inventive way of thinking about zombies but... The zombies appear when a volcano erupts green rocks. As the rocks hit the ground, suddenly zombies (if you can call them that) appear and rise from the ground. Danny Trejo has been in a lot of, "B Movies" some of which I actually enjoyed, but even this is beneath him. If I was able to rewind the clock and never waste my time watching this movie, I would.

I gave it a "1" because I could not select -1000 .

Special effects remind me of my science fair volcanoes I used to make with baking soda. Really really awful and not even as good as most video game cgi effects. The makeup is just as bad. The zombies are pathetic. Makes me appreciate Walking Dead. Like, wow.

Trevo, my man "Machete", is hilarious as the American Indian with obscure wisdom.

Movie makes zero sense and is barely funny. Who is this for? I will tell you. If you are having a beer party, attending a frat party, etc and are extremely buzzed then MAYBE you can watch this. You will still make fun of every scene, but at least you have an excuse for watching this dumbness.

I have seen bad zombie movies. But this is the worst by far.

THE BURNING DEAD is a terrible movie... no doubt about it. It has 2,2 and only few reviews to date, so it will never make the Bottom 100, yet I saw it. And you might wonder why. Well, I am a movie lover that despite has mostly rated and occasionally reviewed must-see movies, theater releases, masterpieces and so on and so forth, I occasionally try very bad movies just for seeing if they have an entertainment value. Some, they have it (such as STEEL, DELTA FARCE and a few others to which I gave good scores despite the many negative reviews) but some are just plain bad. And THE BURNING DEAD is one of these.

It begins with Indian chief Night Wolf (Danny Trejo) that tells some kids a legend at night in the woods about some zombies that returned to live after the volcano erupted lava. Just a few minutes later we see a family going on vacation on the site and after a while there is an eruption, and just as the legend said, the zombies returned to life thanks to the lava's powers on the ground. Now it's up to the kids and Night Wolf to kick the zombies' snot, and not without some graphic scenes thrown for shock value.

I wanted to give this film a chance but unfortunately my hopes were wrong. The characters were all one-dimensional and more like cartoon characters than real people. Danny Trejo is the only one who gives a decent performance (just like in most of his other bad movies) but he looks a bit wasted. The special effects are very cheesy, they really look like copied and pasted on the original footage. And some of the graphic scenes were very painful to stomach, but thankfully I forgot most of them.

If you are a bad movie fan, you might actually try this movie for getting a kick out of it, but if you aren't, steer clear from this piece of bile...
