A lot of people look at Day of the Dead and completely cast it away as being a poor film solely on the fact that it's not as good as the previous Dawn of the Dead. I agree that Dawn of the Dead is a much better film, although you have to remember that Day of the Dead has a completely different scenario and plot. Zombies have taken over the world, it's gone past the point of rednecks and the army trying to clear up. The world is in ruins, there are few survivors, if not any.

A group of scientists posted by the government are working underground clear of the zombies, trying to find a method of 'containing' the zombie epidemic. Also there's a group of soldiers down there who are supposedly there to cater for the scientists needs, eg collection of zombies for the scientists to test on. Although, there are immediate personality clashes with both the soldiers and the scientists. This makes interesting viewing, as the story is not like an ordinary plot where a group of people are trying to escape from zombies. There are some great scenes where the soldiers and scientists are fighting.

There are some excellent death scenes too, some a lot more technically realistic looking than that in Dawn of the Dead. Especially when Pilato is pulled in half moaning 'choke on em!'. If you take a good look at some of the zombies in this and compare them to Dawn of the Dead they also are a lot more realistic, they seem to be less 'alive' looking and tend to look a lot more rotten. Also, a lot of the zombies seem to have their own personalities, everytime I watch I can see different zombies in there, such as a wedding zombie, a clown zombie, a football zombie, a balarina zombie etc. I think those are some especially good touches.

If you read the Day of the Dead script which is floating around on the internet, you can perhaps see a little bit better on how Romero intended the film to be. If you're a true fan of zombie films you'll be able to appreciate Day of the Dead for what it is, don't be blinded by the fact that it's a sequel to an amazing film which was a lot better. It has it's good points, and it's definitely entertaining.

This is one of those films where you say to yourself 'they don't make em like they used to!'

Children of the Dead is a complete disgrace to ever have been filmed, and to cash in even more on the zombie film genre. Which I don't oppose to, I just believe that if you're going to film a zombie film then it has to be done properly else it will come out looking like a load of trash.

I couldn't believe the DVD/VHS cover! It looks so awful, basically looks like a childs attempt at making the cover with word. To try and sell it they have a '2001 production' on there, which makes you gag even more to think that this pile of trash was made very recently. But the worst by far is that they have the cheek to make this comment:

'Bred from the creators of the classic horror 'Night of the Living Dead' comes the long awaited sequel'

How dare they say that it's a sequel!

Savini...what the hell was he thinking to get involved with this film! I can tell that it's surely a film he wishes to forget. Savini is perhaps the only good thing in this film by far, although you know what they say 'too much of a good thing' so they kill him off after the first 15 or so minutes. Big mistake. That was the ONLY thing at a push that the film had going for it.

There's a scene where a bunch of kids are in a VW van (a la' Texas Chainsaw Massacre) and the dialogue sounds as if they're reading it off a piece of paper in front of them. There is no acting here at all, just looks like a joke. But the scene which makes me feel as if I don't know if I should laugh or cry, is when they see 'Abbot hayes' creeping across the road infront of the van. If you have this on dvd, watch the way he walks across the road taking long strides and looking NOTHING like a zombie. The next thing the car pulls off the road in like 3 frames and falls off a cliff! CLASSIC BAD FILMING MOMENT!

I could go on forever about the bad dubbing, acting, filming, plot, fx, but I won't. All I can say is that if you're a fan of the zombie film genre then you probably should give this a watch, just so you're in the know about how bad this film is. But don't go out your way to get a copy and DO NOT expect anything good out of it, because there is nothing. Otherwise stay away from this film! Hopefully it will be long forgotten about into the bad film abyss.

There are simply no words than can describe Troll 2. The cover is just pure evil, it has images on the front that look so disgusting they make you ill. And i'm not talking about the US version here which has a picture with a completely different actor on the front!? I'm talking about the UK PAL version of Troll 2. On the back of the cover they actually spell it 'NilboRg' which is just even more of a complete mess up. The text on the back is written as if a ten year old child has come up with the scenario. After opening the old 2nd hand big box VHS of Troll 2 the 'T2 curse' was upon me. The next hour and a half of my life would be the worst I have EVER spent viewing a film.

The film is so poorly acted and has such a bad plot, fx, sound, camera work and make up that there should be a law placed upon this film that it should never be watched and that all known copies of this film should be blasted far away into space.

The sound was utterly diabolical and sounded as if it had been recorded through a sock. From the cheesy pathetic intro music to the actual dialogue itself.

The plot itself is something that I can assure you was written on the back of a napkin in 10 minutes. The final showdown where 'Joshua' confronts the trolls and unmasks his 'secret weapon' just makes me want to simply END my own life.

The FX are actual BELOW low budget status. Such as the AMAZING scene where a troll throws a spear into some idiot. He basically holds the spear in himself, to look as if he's been 'speared'. At this point I'm shouting so loud at the screen with abuse, but they simply cannot hear me. Check out the 'troll' masks! Where did they get them from? I'm guessing they were picked up at a discount shop in the middle of the summer where they'd been lying in a box for some time. They are NOT even in the slightest bit frightening or represent what is supposed to look like a troll.

I recently saw this film in a shop on DVD on an extremely low budget label. I felt like buying all the copies in the shop just so I could take them home and burn them, and save someone the pain of ever having to sit through and watch.

If you're looking for the worst horror film ever, then it truly is right here. Troll 2. The director should be proud that's he's made a film that has achieved such cult status of being so terrible. This is the film to end all bad films...EVER!
