| User ReviewChris MUnderrated and very creative, a true cult gem from the 80s. |
| User ReviewSarah .I love this low-budget movie so much! I wish someone would remake it and make it up to date! |
| User ReviewBillythis movie is great, if you are a true zombie fan get this movie!! |
| User ReviewNikolas Wthe ultimate in cheesy zombie films scared the shit out of me when i first watched it, thought zombies were going to come out the tv and get me, i was about 8 |
| User ReviewKristian MCheesetastic I guess would be the best word for this, I loved The Bride zombie she totally cracked me up. Memorable washing machine scene too :) |
| User ReviewLinda Ti was surprised....it's actually not all that bad. it's cheesy, of course....and some of the camera shots were really awkward, but overall, it was pretty entertaining. making fun of the acting and story just add to the fun. this film also contains my favorite kill done by a zombie when two of them place some woman in a washing machine and turn it on....fantastic. overall, it's a good, cheesy, entertaining time. |
| User ReviewLyndell CWas fun re-visiting this. Hadnt seen it since my high school years. Such a fun and goofy flick. |
| User ReviewGrayson WThought the 80s camp was perfect despite the terrible acting. I personally was very fascinated with the unusual zombie concept. By far, the makeup and effects are my favorite thing about this flick. |
| User ReviewRollo TGenerally labeled as an ineptly-directed no-budget zombie flick, it is in fact a totally enjoyable mindless splatterfest with some very fun & inventive gore FX for its time |
| User Reviewemerson 1You know those kinds of VHS movies you were enticed to grasp at your local video store back in the days, just because its long faded cardboard slipcase looked so underground, so vile and evil that you were totally bound to rent it more than any other (good) movie around. Well, The Dead Video is the epitome of that kind of movie; this is the Jean Luc Godard's Breathless of cheap and obscure 80s horror flicks. This, along with a cheap strong beer, actually made my day. Oh, yeah,, I forgot to say, this movie is exhilarating. And believe me, I know underrated cult B-movie when I see it. And I?ve seen it !! ha ha this is not funny at all. |
