More interesting than entertaining, this Bob Clark film is like a mix of Evil Dead (minus the style) and Diary of the Dead. The acting is okay and the story is very uneven. It's hard to rate the cinematography because the DVD print currently in release is terrible.
Here's an interesting one. The first half is PAINFULLY unfunny while trying to make you laugh, but the second half is quite creepy. Worth a look.
The opening scene here is great, and a great jump right off the bat. This is a really interesting film which is a zombie flick that is all about the disturbing build up and the fucked up leader of a theatre group played by the writer of the film. It's a really great curiosity and...( read more)
A pretty decent zombies-on-island flick. Very low
budget, but maintained my attention throughout. Much
much better than most zombie flicks - on par with
Zombie Holocaust and Hell of the Living Dead. A
surprising amount of humor for a horror film from
this era.
okay how many times does the one character in this film say " I PEED MY PANTS" how many, so many times you could make a drinking game out of it. slow paced , but classic....
Actors led by Alan Ormsby go to graveyard on remote island to act out necromantic ritual. The ritual works, and soon the dead are walking about and chowing down on human flesh
This is one of the first movies I watched as a kid that was not a "main stream" horror flick. The overall atmosphere and tension building up to the end scene of Orville awakening inspired me and opened me up to a whole different kind of horror.
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things" !
