Video Dead

A lot of people dont seem to like this film , but i would have to say it was great. It's about this t.v. that is some sort of portal for zombies. The t.v. turns on by itself and the zombies come out of it and terrorize humans. This had 80's written all over it and for me thats a damn good thing. I love movies like this. I think people dont like these films because they think that the makers meant it to be 100% serious, which they don't. You have got to get the humor in the movies, to truly love them. This movie had a total Blood Hook/Dead Dudes In The House feel to it. so if you like the films Blood Hook or Dead Dudes In The House you have to see this one. There is some really great gore in this movie like, zombies and humans getting cut up with chainsaws and zombie decapitations and much more. I give this movie an 8 out of 10. So once again if youre a fan of 80's horror/dark comedys like sleep away camp, Blood Hook, Dead Dudes In The House, or Day Of The Dead check this sucker out.

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!

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

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 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.
