The Revolting Dead

I can get past bad film making on a low budget, it happens, but the way this film blatantly tried to horn in on other film's commercial success' is astounding. The film itself, is a college level attempt at absolute best, the acting is sub par, and the zombie make-ups are atrocious. So much so, that on the back of the DVD box cover, there is a darkened image from the film Return of the Living Dead 2!!! Hows that for a blatant rip off! There is no lucid plot, and the attempts at humour are so bad, that I'm not even sure if they -were- attempting to be funny. Its not even funny on a "so bad its good" level. Its just plain bad all around. Avoid this hackey piece of trash at all costs!

I've seen a lot of bad films in my time (one of my friends and I go on occasional "crap movie marathons") but nothing - nothing! - prepared me for this. On the cover of the DVD it claims to feature "Revolting Plot. Revolting Acting. Revolting Jokes." and so on - and sadly, they really aren't joking (which, as it turned out, was a problem throughout the film!) From the moment the CG'ed "this would look great - if I was playing a Commodore 64 game!" opening credits sequence rolls to the very end, the film constantly surprises you by somehow getting worse as it goes along. I didn't expect much of this film, but I had hoped it would at least be dreadful in such a way that I could still have a good laugh at it - but sadly, no such luck! Purely, purely awful - don't put yourself through it!

This movie.. must be the worse movie I've seen in years. Some horror movies are good. Some are bad. And some are so bad that they're almost good because of the badness. This movie was on the other side again, just plain bad with no fun.. OK, I could see the humor in some elements because it was so bad, but I don't know if that was the intention.. Please, don't waste time watching this film. If you're looking for a zombie/horror film witch is bad but still funny, watch "Plan 9 From Outer Space". The movie is horrible, but not worse than this movie, and in a completely other way. Anyways, I agree with the guy above me, watch with some friends over a beer. Or ten.

This movie is awful, drawn out, badly acted and the gore which is implied by such a title, only appears in the last 10 minutes of the movie! The editing is awful and a couple of scenes's made me feel sick due to the cutting back and forth. The visual effects later in the movie are equally as bad and this whole movie has a 'iMovie' feel.

The lead actress Shelley Delayne cannot act and is so wooden it's laughable, and many of the other actors simply camp it up! The only saving grace is Aaron Gaffy who seems to be the only one with any real talent in the movie.

Avoid this film, you'll only be disappointed.

I watched Revolting Dead over a few drinks and with a friend and we were nothing short of astonished at how bad it is. I'm a veteran zombie enthusiast with over 30 zombie films in my collection, including serious dross like Flesh Eating Mothers and most of the Italian 80's films... But this has to be one of the worst I've ever, ever seen. I don't say this lightly, but to even the most optimistic and forgiving zombie/horror fan, don't watch this. It's utterly devoid of any skill, humour or decent horror/effects. I'd say it's on a par with 'The Zombie Chronicles', which is another no-go film. If you're after a half decent modern zombie indie film then I'd say go track down 'The Stink of Flesh', it's quite a bit better and has a few fun and interesting ideas. The other reviews pretty much sum it up, most low-budget horror has it's strikes and it's gutters but this is just the pits.

Right, I'll stop now as I could go on all day.
