A TV dos Mortos-Vivos

I loved this film even though others might not agree with me i found it throughly entertaining. I loved the characters there's quiet innocent girl April,sex-drug crazed Jeff,and suspicious frightened girl Zoe!Even the zombie's are good and throughly scary especially the one with the glasses (watch it and you'll see what i mean. It might be put down as a silly cheap horror flick but i enjoyed it: 7/10

I saw this movie once when I was 12, and I loved it. I saw it again at 23 and now it became stupid. I say stupid, but definitely funny. The best scenes are unintended. My favorite is when a man offers a delivery man cigarette but the delivery man says no, shows him his dip (tobacco) and spits....and then you get a close up of the tobacco splatter onto the ground.

One of the better lines in the movie is when a girl's dog-sitting and the dog has run away. She's afraid of the dog trying to mate with a skunk because apparently this has happened before and she says something like " he gets horny and tries to hump skunks and the skunk sprays him and that gets him even more horny...oh no, what am I going to do?"

All in all, I recommend this movie to those who do not expect much and are deeply submersed in the bad horror movie genre.

A television set from who knows where allows zombies to enter into the real world. A brother and sister are readying the new family home while their parents are on a trip. The former discovers the set in the attic and mayhem ensues.

For some reason, this has garnered a cult following over the years. There are scenes that try for stupid humor but fall flat, while other scenes are unintentionally stupid. For example, the cowboy sets up a plan to have the brother hang helplessly as bait while he hides in a shed and picks off the zombies. So, what does he do as soon as he's in the shed? He sits down and goes to sleep. Brilliant move. Speaking of the brother, his acting is atrocious. Just watch the scene where he's talking to the guy on the TV and try not to laugh. None of the acting is good here, but wow. That whole scene is really bad though, not just the acting. Another poor scene is when a maid is killed. It's done in a ridiculous manner and seems to go on forever.

The effects are okay for the most part, though one sequence with a severed zombie hand is pretty bad. I did like the way the sister deals with the zombies in the climax. That made for some hearty amusement. The ending was good too, but as a whole, there's nothing I can see here to warrant such popularity. The charm of something like Night of the Comet just isn't there.

To say The Video Dead is not the best movie is somewhat obvious. But this ultra cheap and ridiculous horror flick is a decent timekiller at the very least. The plot is a television that constantly plays a low budget zombie movie that comes out of the television and attacks the viewer. To contemplate,"who thinks of this crap"? The greater question is who thought this was a good idea to fund and actually make this. Funds are tight here and it shows, I would guess most of the money for this project would go to the special f/x, which are pretty decent actually with some nice gore. The overnight quality of this is quite low and has some awesomely bad acting, that has the bar set even lower for low budget horror. Like I said previously, The Video Dead is not a good movie, but is so blatantly 80's and ultra cheesy and ludicrous, it is hard not to enjoy it a little .

A lot of people dont seem to like this film , but i would have to say it was great. It's about this t.v. that is some sort of portal for zombies. The t.v. turns on by itself and the zombies come out of it and terrorize humans. This had 80's written all over it and for me thats a damn good thing. I love movies like this. I think people dont like these films because they think that the makers meant it to be 100% serious, which they don't. You have got to get the humor in the movies, to truly love them. This movie had a total Blood Hook/Dead Dudes In The House feel to it. so if you like the films Blood Hook or Dead Dudes In The House you have to see this one. There is some really great gore in this movie like, zombies and humans getting cut up with chainsaws and zombie decapitations and much more. I give this movie an 8 out of 10. So once again if youre a fan of 80's horror/dark comedys like sleep away camp, Blood Hook, Dead Dudes In The House, or Day Of The Dead check this sucker out.
