Leave your thoughts about Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things.
| Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerIt's that rare horror-comedy that is both comedic and horrifying. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonThe performances are on the amateurish side and the dialogue whiplashes between amusing quips and (mostly) leaden chitchat. But the final act, a ripoff of Night of the Living Dead, is effectively staged and showcases impressively monstrous makeup designs. |
| MovieholeClint MorrisOne of the best horror movies of the 70's! |
| The GuardianRonald BergenHighly derivative of Night Of The Living Dead and filled with amateurish performances, strained comedy, and zero production values, Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things does convey, nonetheless, an undeniable power in the rising-dead scenes and a genuine mood of unease throughout that most big-budget horror outings fail to capture. |
| SFX MagazineIan BerrimanLike watching a George Romero rip-off, directed by Ed Wood, with a script scribbled by Joe Orton while he was ripped to the tits on poppers. |
| Slant MagazineJeremiah KippMade on the cheap and inspired by early Romero, this zombie flick doesn’t even have the dead rise until the final half-hour. Until then, we’re stuck with an amateur theater troupe chattering away as they venture out to an abandoned island for a goofy séance. |
| User ReviewKurt MOrville still scares the fuck out of me... I don't like him. But this movie is funny. |
| User ReviewChristine Cfirst scary movie my dad took me to see! very hammy actors, but still a good movie |
| User ReviewClassy JA classic and beginning of the dead films to come, a must see.. |
| User ReviewJoAnna CCorny yes , but as a kid , this movie scared the sh*t out of me !! |
