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!

Well I gotta say it. This movie STANK. I have seen many zombie horror films in my time and each have their weak points. This one on the other hand, had no good points. The acting was so wooden, you could've used the cast to stoke a fire.It doesn't say much for the producers if this is the best they could find after two weeks of auditions with over 200 hopefuls!! The script was utterly shallow and contained no dimension whatsoever. The sound editing was even worse with some sound effects coming in so abruptly, it was laughable.

What more can I say. If you want a "horror" film that will scare you witless and make you jump with unexpected twists and turns, then avoid this film like the plague. On the other hand, if you want to have a few mates around for beers and a few good laughs pointing at the telly, then rent it.

... one of the worst movies I've ever seen

there seems to be a good basis for the story but what they made out of it ...

the people chosen for the characters are a good choice but I thought they would take real actors ...

the movie has about the same quality as Wishmaster 4 and that's very low

the sound quality seems to be very low

bad acting / as I mentioned before

the only horror in this movie, was the price for the DVD

no laugh at all !!!

P.S. If you want to see a movie with a lot of laughs, watch "Shaun of the Dead" ( which is a romantic comedy with zombies in it)

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.
