The Revolting Dead

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!

I've not actually seen this yet - I spotted it in my local video store and instantly thought "Well, that's a movie to avoid!" Why? Because in the UK, the distributors felt the need to steal the logo from the wonderful "Shaun Of The Dead"... With a slight change to the zombie hand inside the "A" in "Dead". Good going, guys... You turned it from what might have been a good little zombie flick into what looks like a cheap cash-in on Pegg and Wright's work. When will these people realise that making someone's film look like someone else's film ( Especially if that wasn't the original intent ) Is NOT the way to gain credibility for a movie! Terminator... Exterminator. Alien... Alienator...

Any number of "Lookalike" posters...

LEAVE IT! LEt the films stand alone, and they'll probably do BETTER. Idiots...

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.

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.

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.
