The Video Dead

The Video Dead

The Video Dead is truly another classic Zombie movie. Although corny in parts, it epitomises the true Zombie culture - to devour human flesh and brains. There is no mucking around with this movie. The Zombies come straight out of the box (literally) and the residents are faced with the dilemma of how to entice the flesh eaters back into their haunted television. There is also an unexpected scene in the movie - one which surprised me when I fully expected the person to survive the Zombie encounter. Although not recommended for those who are not Zombie lovers, it is a must for the Zombie fanatic. After all, Zombies do normally get a bad rap - bring on more Zombie movies.

I saw this movie once when I was 12, and I loved it. I saw it again at 23 and now it became stupid. I say stupid, but definitely funny. The best scenes are unintended. My favorite is when a man offers a delivery man cigarette but the delivery man says no, shows him his dip (tobacco) and spits....and then you get a close up of the tobacco splatter onto the ground. One of the better lines in the movie is when a girl's dog-sitting and the dog has run away. She's afraid of the dog trying to mate with a skunk because apparently this has happened before and she says something like " he gets horny and tries to hump skunks and the skunk sprays him and that gets him even more horny...oh no, what am I going to do?" All in all, I recommend this movie to those who do not expect much and are deeply submersed in the bad horror movie genre.

To say The Video Dead is not the best movie is somewhat obvious. But this ultra cheap and ridiculous horror flick is a decent timekiller at the very least. The plot is a television that constantly plays a low budget zombie movie that comes out of the television and attacks the viewer. To contemplate,"who thinks of this crap"? The greater question is who thought this was a good idea to fund and actually make this. Funds are tight here and it shows, I would guess most of the money for this project would go to the special f/x, which are pretty decent actually with some nice gore. The overnight quality of this is quite low and has some awesomely bad acting, that has the bar set even lower for low budget horror. Like I said previously, The Video Dead is not a good movie, but is so blatantly 80's and ultra cheesy and ludicrous, it is hard not to enjoy it a little .

"Video Dead" tells the story about an old television set.However this is no ordinary TV:it plays only one channel,which shows the same film over and over-a horror film that where bloodthirsty zombies rise from the graves and kill-but also frees undead creatures.3 months later a brother and sister move into the house whose previous owner was killed by zombies.Unbeknownst for them the zombies from the TV set are still hungry and the bloodbath ensues..."Video Dead" has to be one of the cheesiest zombie flicks I have ever seen.The premise is extremely dumb,the acting is bad and the dialogue is horrid.Still the film is very enjoyable,the gore is plentiful and the make-up effects are great.Special credit must be given to Robert Scott,who wrote,produced,and directed the film for making one of the stupidest and most amusing zombie flicks I have ever seen.Give this cheesy piece of trash a look.6 out of 10.Hell yeah!

A lot of people dont seem to like this film , but i would have to say it was great. It's about this t.v. that is some sort of portal for zombies. The t.v. turns on by itself and the zombies come out of it and terrorize humans. This had 80's written all over it and for me thats a damn good thing. I love movies like this. I think people dont like these films because they think that the makers meant it to be 100% serious, which they don't. You have got to get the humor in the movies, to truly love them. This movie had a total Blood Hook/Dead Dudes In The House feel to it. so if you like the films Blood Hook or Dead Dudes In The House you have to see this one. There is some really great gore in this movie like, zombies and humans getting cut up with chainsaws and zombie decapitations and much more. I give this movie an 8 out of 10. So once again if youre a fan of 80's horror/dark comedys like sleep away camp, Blood Hook, Dead Dudes In The House, or Day Of The Dead check this sucker out.
