This is the worst movie I have ever seen! First zombie movie I have ever seen where the characters only eat intestines and not brains!
Danny Trejo is in the movie for a few minutes but is the star? Horrible acting.
This movie even gives class B movies a bad name.
A bullet to the head doesn't kill these zombies but a fire extinguisher does? Pathetic.
What's up with the dude with the red bandana? I couldn't stop laughing every time I saw him. Hilarious!
Jenny Lin was jumping around with her boobs hanging out looking plain stupid. Please quit acting and do us all a favor.

The acting, writing, editing, and production of this film is so terrible that it almost seems on purpose. How they want anyone to take this movie seriously is beyond me. A lava eruption that looks like fireworks, lava that looks like a blanket being dragged across the ground, and actors that look like they all failed the class and the casting directors felt sorry for them and gave them a shot, this film has it all. Words cannot describe the absolute crapfest that is "The Burning Dead"
I wish I could say, I came up with that, but it's the actual German title this movie received. This might be the best thing about the movie, though to be fair, you should know this is low budget. Still we get better movies and better acting and better everything with similar budgets. Unless you're the biggest Danny Trejo fan, you might want to steer clear from this one.
Though even if you are, remember: It's not really his vehicle, he just has a small part in it. The story or the idea rather is pretty out there, which makes it almost likable. Unfortunately too many things go south/wrong, that cannot be helped or overseen.

This made me laugh more than anything else.
Bad. Bad. Bad.
Special effects were terrible as was the acting. Danny Trejo, I have no idea why he is in all these bad movies, but even so his ability as an actor is not what you would call award winning!.
Rene Pere, well this was the movie to make me steer away from anything else that he directs. I know of other directors who can create wonderful movies with great dialogues and story lines but this film? What a waste of time and money.
I, myself would be embarrassed to show this work to the public.
Apart from bad acting and bad effects, there were numerous errors within the movie which made you laugh. Did anyone review the movie for inconsistencies?
I suppose fans of B grade movies will enjoy this. Actually, maybe we create a Z Grade category for films which are worse than worse!

In North California, the scientist Dr. Stevens (Kyle T. Heffner) and his assistant Eve Jones (Julia Lehman) are researching a volcano near eruption to evacuate the residents. Meanwhile, Mindy Roberts (Moniqua Plante), her daughter Nicole (Nicole Cummins) and her boyfriend Ryan (Kevin Norman) are visiting Mindy's estranged father Old Ben (Robert F. Lyons), who lives in an isolated cabin on the top of the mountain. Sheriff Denton (Thomas Downey) is rescuing persons that might have been left behind. Out of the blue, each person discovers that volcano zombies are attacking them on the mountain to eat their flesh. Who will survive?
"The Burning Dead" is a lame Z-movie, with awful story, terrible acting and poor CGI. The screenplay is a laughable mess, and does not make any sense. What can be said about a film where Danny Trejo has a minor participation to give his name to the credits? My vote is two.
Title (Brazil): "Mortos Vivos" ("Living Dead")
