Woodyanders The frozen bodies at a cryogenics lab get revived by a lighting storm and go on the rampage as lethal shambling zombies. Boy, does this honey possess all the right wrong stuff to qualify as an uproariously atrocious four-star stinkeroonie: Flat-footed (mis)direction by Jack A. Sunseri and Deland Nuse, a plodding pace, some hysterically horrible acting (Ron Vincent cops the top thespic dishonors as a twitchy bank robber), ineptly staged action scenes, laughable zombies wearing shoddy dimestore plastic masks that are wrapped in tinfoil, clumsy flashbacks, tacky gore (an impalement on a forklift and a decapitation by sword rate as the definite splatter highlights), a heavy-handed central message about the evils of cryogenics, a slapdash script, and gut-busting idiotic dialogue ("Die you green bag of snot!"). The Faded Name Hall of Shame Cast further enhances the considerable campy merriment: The ever-personable Linda Blair as perky lab assistant Mary Hampton, Dan "Grizzly Adams" Haggerty as gregarious security guard Sergeant Vince Marlow, and Troy Donahue as sinister mad scientist Dr. Miller. Don't miss the ridiculous "Where are they now?" updates at the very end. An absolute cruddy hoot and a half.
Dain OK, we have all read our bad reviews about this movie. Lets get over it and move on. I'm a fan of cheese low budget gore to the extreme so this movie ( for a fan such as myself ) makes a lot of my collection feel like an ACTUAL movie. I love it. As I've said many times before, there is a special feel that I like to these low budget films, especially of the 80's films. The atmosphere in this movie was pretty creepy which was nice. The zombies wrapped in foil, okay..it's funny, but they did a pretty good job on capturing the overall feel of what a zombie film is suppose to have. It's not your average zombie film but enough to keep most zombie fans entertained. Pick it up and check it out. The least it could be is another one to add to your collection.
kohl_caked So, it was corny... extremely corny. I loved this movie, though. It has been given horrible reviews by pretty much everyone who has seen it. This, however, has been one of my favorite corny horror movies for many years. It is worth many laughs.The zombies in it are the most creative I have seen in any horror movie, and I have seen a lot of them. The whole idea and plot are trite, but I think that it embodies the B movie... right down to Linda Blair playing a main character. In short, and I know this was already short... watch this movie or I'll make you watch it.
william lassell Okay, so it was not the great American movie, But it did have some stars, and will be showing up on various lists for the foreseeable future/. It was shot in lovely Oakland California, and has some people in it who are about to break into the big time, put this on your hipster notebook, Bill Lassell, and Jim Redovian are coming back, and this time they don't need no lightning to strike it rice!!!! I saw this movie at a drive=in, I am pretty sure it was the last drive-in I ever saw, so how's that for nostalgia?Linda Blair did not complete the movie, do you know who did? Dan Hagarty is in this movie, and god bless him, he does some of the best security guard work since Barney Fife!
