I remember reading about this in the old fangoria magazine,at the time it looked good,well many years passed and finally got a chance to watch it.and really what a piece of i dare not say,poor Buster Crabbe being the star of this really terrible bomb.they basically use the plot of night of the living dead.and i usually like Fred Olen Ray movies but this early work is very crude.the special effects are bargain basement.well i know Buster Crabbe has done bad movies but this was his worst ever.i think he did a better job on an episode of buck rogers with gil gerard as a fighter pilot.there's some nude scenes thrown in,zombies coming out of the swamp,ripping of the 1977 film shockwaves.if you see this one in the $1.00 store.take my word for it and don't bother,its about 77 minutes of your life you'll never get back.instead watch the more superior night of the living dead,its better and it most likely had a lower budget than alien dead.

OK, when you buy or watch a Fred Ollen Ray movie you don't expect Citizen Cane. You get what you pay for. I got the ALien Dead on VHS for only 3 bucks and i got what i paid for. I enjoyed it enough to not want to throw it away. The lighting is bad and the acting is horrible but it's one of his first movies, and the budget was really small. You have to work with what ya got. Maybe he didn't have great lighting equipment. So flippin sue him, Your the flippin idiot that paid 20 bucks for the DVD, not me! So if you hate him so much then stop buying his movies you losers. Flubby do bad and his ass mongers went to Dan's mountain to take it back. But Dan would not give it to them no sirree bob. So he got his gun out and cold-cocked the son of a b**ch

I saw this in Sun Coast, billed as the 25th Anniversary Edition. I saw Buster Crabbe's name and thought, "How bad can it be?". It is hilariously bad. My buddy who is a cono...conisue...knows a lot about zombie movies laughed just when it was supposed to be "serious". Good grade Z stuff. I sent Fred Olen Ray a thank you email. The DVD is worth it for the picture of Miss Kim in the website space in the special features. The guy that plays the idiotic deputy said in the interview(!) that he ended up with 300k. Not too shabby considering this movie only cost 12k. The chick on the cover looks kind of like Linda Blair from The Exorcist. Some nice looking babes in this, with some half decent t&a. Good for fans of low grade horror and I know you are out there.

Following in the footsteps of H.G. Lewis....following WAY BEHIND, comes Fred Olen Way with Alien Dead. This movie highlights the dangers of houseboating in Florida and shows people once and for all that people hit by metorites really do turn into zombies. Filmed locally here in Oviedo Florida and Rock Springs State Park now called Kelly State Park, Alien Dead illustrates the passive nature of Floridians in how they never run when being attacked by the undead... They just make the horrible face, scream and gently fall on the ground while the zombies chew them up for dinner.One might think that the horrible plot, video, sound, acting, lighting, etc. is strange enough, but what's even stranger is that half the movie shows people actually swimming in Florida water...something we locals haven't done for decades.This movie is destined to make the Something Awful Video lineup one day. Let us hope it happens before this wonderfully awful movie fades away into the sunset.Interestingly enough, the movie does have a big name, Buster Crabbe. Yes, the same Buster Crabbe from the Buck Roger's fame, playing the local sheriff who is followed around by his dorky deputy sidekick.And if the ending leaves you saying anything other than, "What the hell just happened?" then either you fell asleep, or worse...you actually did understand it.Ron Jaffe Orlando, Florida
