Well, to be short and honest, this was the worst movie I have ever seen. And I've seen bad: Gigli, Batman v Superman, Emoji Movie.To be long and honest, a seventh-grade Charlie Brown Musical would have better acting and costumes than this. Some people from the MPAA had to sit through this and give it a rating. They had to see the horrible story, acting, costumes, music, and acting (Did I already say that?). They probably spent more time, money, and energy on the cover art, which is not actually that bad and the reason I got it from Red-Box.

In the early 1980s when the VHS was starting to take its place in every UK home, video libraries were springing up all over the place. In my household my brothers and me were allowed to pick 4 films a week at £3 each and the were watched every day during the week hire period. Gradually we moved away from the man with his van, to using a town centre video store who offered 4 films for a fiver and over the course of a weekend they would get watch. Gradually with this new price structure we and our friends got to see hundreds of films and first all a truly rotten movie was awarded the status of a "Zombie Lake" and a title that disappointed based on its box, synopsis and anticipation got awarded the title a "Devil Dog" and if "Ghosts Of Sherwood" was about in the early 1980s it would have become a new breed of film a "Devil Dog Zombie Lake".The dubbing on this film reminded me of a late night continental movie on the UK channel ITV and it absolutely killed the entire film with its flat monotone delivery and over explanation for each sentence spoken. Bad films can develop a cult following, and this one does not deserve to classed in that division of so bad its good. Its just bad.It is horrible to do this, considering a lot of people work hard on a film but i have to state.The film is best avoided.

I have only myself to blame...A colleague said to, "last night I watched the worst film ever made", to which I replied "are you sure? I've seen some pretty awful films in my time".He lent me the DVD... ...after 20 minutes I tried gnawing my own leg off while trying to hope that the film would improve, but it then performed the impossible accomplishment of getting even worse! DO NOT fall for this trap! The ONLY person involved with this film that deserves any endorsement is the person who designed the DVD Box (which is really rather good).

I have been using IMDb for years and have never bothered writing a review for anything. But, for this film, I felt a duty to warn people. Robin Hood The Ghost of Sherwood, sounds simple enough. From reading the back of the box it sounded like it was just a low budget version of the tale. Now for the problems: The acting was horrible. The film was shot in Germany with unknown German actors who had no talent whatsoever. To make matters worse the film was shot in German and they used English dubbing, (which made it even worse). When the actors delivered a line it reminded me of someone just saying the lines out loud to confirm that they had it memorized. There was no emotion, no acting at all. I've had more fun watching paint dry.The plot was the worst part. About halfway through the film Robin Hood and all of his men are killed by the Sheriff's soldiers. Marian and Little John were the only ones to survive and it just so happens that Marian knew of a witch that could bring the dead back to life. So, they go there, kill the witch, take all of her potions, go back to camp and give the potion of the undead to everyone. Well, they got there too late and while Robin and all of his men come back to life, they now have a craving for human flesh. Yeah, you read that right, Robin Hood and his men are now zombies and the run around Sherwood Forest eating people. Marian and Little John still have bags of the witch's potion, so they find some that they can use. So now the two of them are running around Sherwood Forest while Little John throws rocks, yes rocks, at them and says some dumb word to make the rocks explode on impact (sipzoso, I think it was) or something to that effect. Oh, and of the potions caused a meteor shower. They use one of the potions to trap Robin and his men in the forest, then Marian goes to the Sheriff and tricks him into the forest so that Robin can kill him.I would have given this movie zero stars but one star was as low as I could go. After watching the first half hour of the movie, I seriously considered turning it off, but I thought, it can't get any worse. Well, I was wrong. It got worse. A lot worse. Anyone who likes Robin Hood or an adventure movie in general, avoid this like the plague, there are a lot better movies out there about Robin Hood than this.If you want to see Robin Hood, check out the 2010 version starring Russell Crowe or Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves starring Kevin Costner made in 1991. There was also a television series made in the UK that started five or six years ago. It only went for three seasons, but it was very enjoyable and well made. Any of these are a better choice than this garbage.
