    to be honest i kinda had high hopes for this one i mean FINALY tobe hooper desided to do a zombie type movie but it just didnt work it seems the writers jace and adam were going for a dark tone but yet hooper desided to go campy and...well.. it just didnt mix well at all sure it has some fun moments but all in all....its worth much i mean if you see it in the wallmart 5 buck ben and love tobes work sure get it...but if you loved texas chainsaw and then saw how he redeemed himself with toolbox murders....well...heh ya guys are shit out of luck then....sorry to break your hearts......broke mine a wee bit....

    This movie by Tobe Hooper (Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Poltergeist) actually slipped under my radar.
    I happened to catch it when i was surfing cable for something to watch and there it was on the Zone Horror channel.
    It ain't know classic but is actually quite entertaining, zombies, gore, creepy funeral home, strange locals and pretty girls and black humour. Perfect formula for a horror movie not to be taken too seriously.
    Tobe Hooper seemed to have disappeared of late apart from the Masters Of Horror episode he directed, so its good to see him back.

    Actually a lot of fun, so don't let the genre swap spoil your enjoyment of this movie. Not a masterpiece by any means, but a really enjoyable film nonetheless.

    not to shabby of a movie! i thought the black goop stuff was cool that would get inside you and then infect you and turn you all evil and weird. it was nasty how you would get infected though and i thought the sheriff was funny but my one dislike was the ending it was meh.

    this was directed by by tobe hooper.the only reason i watched this was because i live in the slim hope that one day this director,will reproduce his success of poltergeist and the tv mini series salems lot. not that this is a badly made film,there is just nothing new.typical routine b movie,and that is being generous.

    I though this was a really good movie. I might be biased since Tobe Hooper is one of my favourite directors, but no matter. Creepy, strangely funny which is usual it seems with Tobe, and a good ending. I like when everybody dies. Only complaint is we didn't see much of the "deaths"... or transformations... or whatever. Still good though.

    Nothing special but for a Horror film it wasn't too bad, but as always the ending sucks. Probably one for the Horror buffs only.

    Not bad at all! This stands up well to any of this year's horror films. The lead kids in this are awesome! The town is super depressing, the funeral home is dusty and the demons are scary and funny.

    Directed by: Tobe Hooper.Starring: Dan Byrd, Denise Crosby, Stephanie Patton, Alexandra Adi.

    Cliche, after cliche....after cliche, god this movie infuriated me, I am a big Tobe Hooper fan, he did a brilliant job and showed a lot of potential for future films after he did The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Poltergeist, since then he has gone downhill, but never in my mind did I think he would sink this low.

    Using a atrocious, cliched script, the film at 94 minutes, drags in too many places and uses cheap, cliched jump sequences for 'genuine scares' as Hollywood horror does nowadays to get the little girls screaming, mediocre acting (mainly from the little girl, who showed more talent then the rest of the actors), no real atmosphere and I hate to say it...bad direction.

    I just hope one day Tobe uses his head and gets back into gear, because its more talent gone to waste because of Hollywood.

    I loved this movie...but I hated the ending. Great characters, good story, and really good sets. Despite the bad ending this movie is a real good watch.

    My only compliment is that Tobe Hooper has made worse. That isn't even really a compliment though. That just means he somehow made movies that sucked worse than this. Meh, it had Bug (Alfalfa) Hall in it, and he urinates on a tombstone while groping two chicks...2 stars!

    wow, as a tobe hooper fan i had high expectations on this movie, they definitely were not fulfilled. this movie is foreseeable, not scary at all and the acting is terrible. and which is worst: this movie is not funny. it tries to be funny, but the jokes just wont come along. and nothing is explained. why have the zombies become zombies e.g. poor try from tobe of making a zombie movie, he should just stick with serial killers i guess, lol.

    not bad at all, i kinda liked it and i liked the fact that the guys mom was mortician.....and those scenes w/ the blood and that weird thing going through the dead bodies was pretty cool.....definitely looked like TV movie material but the gore and all that crap outweighed me thinking of that......not bad

    I just saw this on the Scifi Channel. It was o.k. It left me hanging like it wasn't finished or there will be a part 2.

    It started off really good and interesting for the first half a hour, then it turns into some cheesy remake of this stupid horror movie I saw a while back (husbands wife dies, he owes a morgue, she turns zombie, it gets all icky pants..msg me if you know what movie I mean) and I HATE that movie, and sorry but this put itself in the same boat!

    This was ok, not great, and I expected more from Tobe Hooper, but ok! Watch it if you can, it's worth a go!
