TheLittleSongbird As bad as Return of the Living Dead: Necropolis, and it was (very), Rave to the Grave is even worse, few if any horror film series have ended on such a thud as much as the Return of the Living Dead did with this.Necropolis at least had some pretty good zombie make-up and one cool song saving it from total doom. Rave to the Grave has neither, making all of Necropolis' flaws and amplifying them to worse degrees as well as making more on the way. Like Necropolis, this movie is incredibly poorly made, camera work is haphazard and unfocused, editing is sloppy by making scenes interminably dull and sometimes incomplete-feeling, there is a complete lack of atmosphere and the special effects and pathetic zombie make-up looked like very last minute jobs. The music is once again overbearing and takes one out of the movie completely.Rave to the Grave's direction is incompetent, to call it anything like flat or sloppy would be insulting to those words and tension, fun (it even manages to be far too tiresome to have any kind of novelty value) and suspense is non-existent. The script is filled to the brim with stilted lines and misplaced and grating humour and what anything remotely resembling a story is thin, dull, dumb and sometimes incoherent with zero scares and even less tension. Once again the zombies, as well as looking bad this time around, are very underused and are both goofy and lifeless, you never feel the menace at all.The characters are paper thin and irritating and the acting is some of the laziest and most obnoxious of any movie I've seen recently. Overall, Necropolis may be and still is a disgrace but this final entry is even more so and by far the worst of the series. 1/10 Bethany Cox

Retrovenger This is a truly hateful movie, towards fans of the series and zombie fans in general. The ROTLD movies have often pride themselves on being the "true" story of Romero's NightOTLD and have been usually fun to watch for the humor and effects. This one has neither, nor anything that truly ties it together with the past sequels. The only thing this movie is full of is stupidity; pure, undiluted stupidity.Having found one of the familiar 'zombie' tanks, that just happen to be lying around, a group of college students take it to their campus labs in hopes of understanding what it is...so they use it in making a drug called "Z"(...Ha...ha...). What follows is menagerie of plot holes and thoughtless actions, which are the only way the plot, which is deader than any of the 'zombies' in the film, is able to move along.As for the reason I mention 'zombies' is because unlike the previous movies, these 'zombies' CAN die from head-shots, or even getting their ears punctured. They smell when they turn, pretty much instantly, even though they aren't really rotting or can sweat. We also have 'zombie' rats that can't tell a real brain from plastic one on an anatomy figure. Then we have a line of up people just meant to be eaten; not batting an eye the panicking people, hear or see the 'zombies' coming, or able to even fight back, to help spread the plague.As for the 'zombie' drug, it has a random release time depending on weight, age, and other factors of the buyer, which we learn about a quarter into the third act. So even though the drug has been in circulation for maybe week, and consumed countless times by annoying DJ and the dealer, we don't get any 'zombies' until near the end of the second act. Which also gives us time for a bunch of time with the truly despicable characters of the film.There is not even a single thing laughable in this movie. It tries to be funny, thinking that oblivious characters or ironic T-shirts are humorous, but ultimately falls short of the punchline with both ankles snapped off. It does manage a statically impossibility ability to not make you laugh at the sheer stupidity of anything.If you are a fan of zombie movies, never watch this one. It's not even 'so bad it's good', more like 'so bad you will be buying a new TV because you'll have put your fist through the screen'. If you find a copy, I implore you to burn it to ashes, never spend a dime on it, rented or otherwise.

Claudio Carvalho While illegally selling one canister of Trioxyin-5, Charlie Garrison (Peter Coyote) is murdered by a zombie. His nephew Julian Garrison (John Keefe) finds two canisters hidden in the attic of his house with his girlfriend Jenny (Jenny Mollen) and they ask their friend Cody (Cory Hardrict) to analyze and research the chemical product. Cody finds that the composition of the product is very similar to ecstasy and he processes the chemical, making a large quantity of a drug that he called "Z" to make money. Using the services of the local drug dealer, they sell "Z" in the college campus. In the Halloween, the DJ and Jenny's brother Jeremy (Cain Mihnea Manoliu) organizes a rave party. Meanwhile, Julian, Jenny and Cody disclose that the drug transform the users in zombies, and with the support of two weird agents, they try to stop the distribution of "Z"."Return of the Living Dead: Rave to the Grave" is flawed and the two men in black try to be funny but they are not. However, there are funny moments and for a B-movie, I had a great surprise and I liked it. The character of Peter Coyote dies maybe with less than 10 minutes and his participation has only the intention to lure the viewer with his name in the credits. I liked also the performance of the gorgeous Jenny Mollen, and I expect to see her again to evaluate her skills. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "O Retorno dos Mortos-Vivos: Rave" ("The Return of the Living Dead: Rave")

video_game_lover_122 wow were to start.. OK first off all the reviews that said it suxed were true, i was actually having an open mind on this movie considering all the bad reviews. The story is bad, SO many plot holes, and gore that makes Mr. jingles look decent, i mean who ever gave this guy who directed it rights needs to quit the business.. i'm a HUGE die hard zombie fan but this.. i don't even know what happened. The ending was what REALLY screwed this movie over.. i'd rather sit through tourestas again(which is also a bad movie) then watch this piece of crap again. i gave it a 2 cause some of the humor.. very little but some made me chuckle. don't waste your time with this one.
