Death Metal Zombies

I like sov micro budget underground b movies. Low budget near no budget , but this was the worst in 10 years. Listen there wasnt anything even funny you could make fun of and laugh just bad and boring. Zombies had no make up lil black around the eyes. No effects horrible acting just C- video. You have been warned. Check out Deathgasm if you want a good metal zombie flick. 2 stars was for the effort of making a video. Cheers

I've seen this movie a bunch of times..it's a great party movie! The original version is not edited as well as the newly re-mastered 10th Anniversary DVD edition.

The new DVD edition has top notch editing, much cleaner quality picture and sound and loaded with tons of cool extras including bloopers, behind the scenes and more.

This movie has a mix of humor and horror and manages some dark, moody atmosphere with some creepy lighting styles and wicked imagery.

I love zombie movies and this one has to be the most original zombie film I have seen. I recommend it to fans of low budget horror.

First of all: if you don't like camcorder no budget movies, never watch this, you will hate it. Second: If you don't like thrash metal, never watch this, you will hate it. I like this kind of no budget gory movies and i love heavy metal, thrash and all metal in general, so i can enjoy this effort. The plot is simple, a group of head bangers are turned into zombies(there isn't any zombie make up and they are not living dead, so i think instead of zombies they are "possesed by evil" people). There are zombie ridiculous stuff like fighting the head banger zombies with country music, awful acting, long music clips in the movie and atrocious photography. There is good gore, good music and a killer Nixon.

As a fan of both gory low-budget movies and very loud rock music, it pains me to say that this mid-'90s home-made zombie flick was clearly put together by avid horror/metal fans with far less talent than taste. I wanted to like the film, but the dreadful acting, weak direction and awful script sucked all the fun out for me. Those involved look like they were having a great time, but I cannot say the same for myself.

The pitiful plot sees metal-head Brad (Bill DeWild) winning a radio competition, the prize being a special tape of music by his favourite band, Living Corpse. When Brad plays the cassette to his friends, the head-banging pals are transformed into zombies and ordered to kill by Living Corpse's lead singer Shengar (Thomas Banta). Meanwhile, a serial killer in a Nixon rubber mask is also on the prowl.

Kudos to director Todd Jason Cook for actually getting one of the girls to commit to a shower scene, and for achieving some reasonable splatter effects on an almost non-existent budget, but the cheapo gore and gratuitous nudity doesn't make the film any less painful to watch.

Death Metal Zombies - 1995 (This Film Rates a C ) A super low budget shot on video film with death metal head zombies PLUS a crazed slasher in a Richard Nixon mask as a side story. Its dedicated to Kurt Cobain (end credits). A dorky metal head enters a contest to win a cassette from the band Living Corpse. It contains an exclusive song called "Zombified" that only he will own. After winning he and some friends find that the exclusive song is not so innocent. Everyone who listens turns to zombies. To reverse the curse the song needs to be played backwards but country music "corrodes their brains" and temporarily slows them down. Eventually the curse is broken. Flash forward 10 years later and the cassette is refound and replayed as a mp3 file by a familiar face. There are brawls in the woods, fire jumping, waterbeds, long hair, metal t-shirts, acid washed jeans, BOOBS and a lot of things that make no sense. Its all horrible; the acting, dialogue and script are the worst I have seen/heard. Like the worst. (7 min mark, 14 min mark, 37 min mark, 1 hour 1 min mark). The gore is laughable but is meant to be funny. It's not anything really extensive. The 1990's death metal soundtrack is great even if you are not a fan of the genre. It fits perfectly and is the main highlight of the film especially the live material (17 min mark). It covers for so many of the film's inadequacies, especially lines like: "Hey, I got crabs" and "pusswad". If you know what you are getting into here then it isn't so bad, but it is complete trash and only worth watching for the "everything 90's metal".
