War of the Dead

This is really unwatchable. The acting is generally stiff and the budget is obviously very very very low, like $15 for the special effects budget low. There's really no point in watching this it's utter garbage on a lot of levels. One of the scenes features Germans planting a grenade but the grenade shown is an American frag grenade- it was ridiculous. There are some funny moments but this is like watching someone's home movie movie as far as cinematic quality of editing and stunts. Avoid this waste of time at all costs unless you want to see what someone did with 38 dollars and a video camera. Making something this crappy and masquerading it as a film should be illegal. PLOT: Zombie Nazis are looking for their victims - what connects them to each other? Poor acting and worse stunts ensue.

This film is a travesty. I don't even understand why they decided to term this a zombie movie. The 'things' in this film were as similar to zombies as I am.

Everything about this film was awful. The acting was just shocking. The effects were painfully bad. The story was a joke and the dialogue...What can I say about the dialogue..words fail me, they really do.

Im usually a huge fan of low budget horror but this was beyond the pale.

If you are a fan of zombie films stay away from this terrible film. Its a disgrace to the genre.

I can only repeat other comments that it is bad as a horror movie- terrible acting, stupid (better say 0) special effects, interesting but rather dumb plot, but it kicks ass!!! The great thing about this movie is that as it sometimes can be with small budget (100 bucks budget) movies they are really good as parody of the gender. I was laughing my head off watching this movie and thinking how really stupid the film makers were to make this and tell me that it is a horror movie. They could just tell that it is parody/comedy and that all- it is great to watch actors (craptors) and producents trying to make the movie serious when it's not. Even the music- some guy in the background probably playing electric guitar and even before zombie attacks the music stops giving all of it away. If this would be big budget movie than it would be soooo bad. But for this kind of budget it really can't be good being as it is advertised- horror movie. But it is stupidly funny- I love small budget sci-fi, horror movies with rating 2-3 on IMDb!

This is a fascinating film. Don't get me wrong, it is not a good film. "Actors" are bad; Don "The Dragon" Wilson is Laurence Olivier compared to them. Direction, photography and editing are embarrassing. Fight scenes make circus clowns' jokes look like K1. The handgun, the German WW2 rifle and the grenade explosion all sound the same, let's say like a air gun. You can see "wounds" (be it gunshots or bites) are just a ridiculous splash of ketchup. I mean it is so bad, usually I wouldn't give it 3 minutes of my time since it's trash. Still... Not only I watched it, but I enjoyed it. The script is partially pretty good and, given better film crew and more money, the film could have been much better. The jokes are priceless! Dialogues are very good at times. All the women in the film are very beautiful – starting with Camille Djokoto (agent Conda). "War of the Dead" is fascinating because it is very bad, still makes you wanna see what happens next and provides great fun – both from the jokes and the terrible acting and direction. You even get to like the characters, if not from the way the script shaped them, at least from what you know they should have been and also from the clumsiness of the actors. (As for acting, I think Scott Cengija, the little Billy, was the best, while Rosemary Martins, Max's nurse, was really horrible and should not appear on screen again.) Let's just say if you're a film critic or a film snub, you'll hate this movie, won't watch it and think people who had fun at it don't know *beep* about movies. But if you just love plain cinema and zombie flicks, "War of the Dead" might give you 88 minutes of fun in a rainy afternoon.

I don't know how this actually got released. I do realize that there probably were intentional jokes in this but it is hard to tell. I saw this movie at two video stores here in the Cowichan Valley, BC! So congratulations for that. To the maker of this film: I do admire your ability to "produce a film" fast plus make many copies of it on a professional looking DVD and make a good cover for the DVD. It's great to see someone making horror movies from Canada also. But thankfully you posed this film as if it were American (Washington, U.S.A. not Ontario, Canada.) That was the saving grace of the DVD because I'm Canadian. It was also a relief to see that the Canadian government didn't give money to help this get made. Use your strengths to release DVD's to video stores, but please have all different cast and crew make the film itself.
