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...

... 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)

I have seen this movie and it is bad I mean just bad. I gave this a two because it looks to me like they at least tried but failed miserably. First off the budget looked worse then someone making a high school movie with their dad's camera. The sound was terrible it was like someone giving a speech without there microphone working and they where talking low.

The camera angles where horrible and switching every 10 seconds. The only good actors where the car repair guy, and the funeral directer lady. There is a porno scene every 25 minuets or so and the zombies are only in a few scenes probably like 5.

If you where looking for a zombie movie you will be disappointed.

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!
