Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Aaron1375 This film has one of those misleading titles, kind of like the Italian film Zombie Holocaust. Both titles lead one to assume that there is going to be hordes of the living dead terrorizing a community or something and generally doing zombie stuff. In that film, you got very few zombies and they didn't really do anything much. In this one, you get like one or two zombies, but at least they do some terrorizing. However, this comes in the form of revenge rather than the living dead wanting to feast upon the flesh of the living. I saw this film on Mystery Science Theater 3000, but I am sure it has probably made the rounds on cable stations back in the day. One of those films that have one or two actors of note and a really cheap budget that mostly went to the one or two actors.The story has a man killed while protecting a young girl from two hoodlums. Flash years later and the son of that man is playing baseball and doing okay. Unfortunately, after stopping a robbery he is ran over by a gang of preppy teens that really know how to break the rules! Well, the mother has already lost her husband so she is understandably upset now that her son too, has passed away. She gets the woman that her husband helped so long ago and is a voodoo priestess to resurrect her son so that he may get his revenge on his killers! Meanwhile, a young cop struggles with the case of the teens being killed while his captain seems to know more than he is letting on! This made for a rather funny episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000. When this episode first appeared, Adam West, who was in the movie, actually hosted a marathon of MST3K episodes that led up to the premier of this film on Comedy Central. Back in the day, MST3K literally put Comedy Central on the map and they used the show often to keep its viewership, kind of makes no sense that they canned it. The episode though was funny, my favorite joke being when the bat wielding zombie was chasing the blond and Servo goes, "George Romero's, Casey's at bat!" So, in the end a bad film that was notable because of Adam West's appearance and I guess Tia Carrere. Though she was kind of famous mainly because Michael Myer's was apparently obsessed with her. She was not really all that good at acting, your basic horror level talent and she was an absolutely dreadful singer. She probably would have done good in adult films though. The zombie effects, what little there were, were done okay as they did manage a good effect at the end with the zombie melting. And despite what Mike and the bots thought, Motorhead's Ace of Spades is an awesome song and one hell of a way to kick off a movie. It was my favorite part!
Uriah43 When "Tony Washington" (Jon Mikl Thor) is accidentally killed in an auto accident his mother goes to a voodoo priestess named "Molly Mokembe" (Manuska Rigaud) to avenge his death. Molly turns Tony into a zombie and he is given a mission to kill the five teenagers who were joy-riding in the car that night. So much for the plot. Now, initially I figured that with Adam West (as "Captain Tom Churchman") and Tia Carrere ("Amy") in this movie that they would lend some credibility to this picture. And while they did okay, the rest of the cast was awful. Additionally, the action scenes were terrible, the sets looked cheap and the special effects were just plain silly. Likewise, the music of "Motorhead" and the other bands featured in the soundtrack wasn't good enough to radically improve this film either. In short, this film is pretty bad. That said, I have rated it accordingly. Definitely below average.
Mark Honhorst You would think that a movie with zombies(two of 'em!),bloody revenge, Tia Carrere,voodoo, a weird voodoo priestess, heavy metal music, pasta flingin', screamin', and nanananana Batmaaan would have at least some entertainment value. Well... It doesn't. I'm glad the filmmakers and cast seem to be good sports about what MST3K did to it. I have to say, Zombie nightmare is one of my all-time favorite episodes of that show. The only reason I didn't give this stupid movie one star is that it sort of had a semi coherent plot.I usually only rate movies one star if the plot is especially weak or incoherent. Um... I have to finish 10 lines so,uh, I'd just like to say if you have to see this movie, catch it on the MST3K DVD on volume 15.
Seb A beefcake with a body that looks like it was drawn by a child without much sense of proportion gets run over by some local badboys. How bad? Well one of them throws noodles at his mother, that's pretty much the limit if you ask me.When Beefcake is run over his mother opts not to go for conventional medicine and instead entrusts her squished son to the local voodoo lady. Beefhead comes back to life (with an enthusiastic and laughable roar!) and kills off the teen gang in a series of hugely dull attacks while the police cover it up for no real reason.This movie has Adam West in it and you can easily wring some entertainment from the film by attempting your Adam West accent while watching thus saving this movie from a one star rating. It's also got a policeman who sounds like his voice is breaking, a wildly unlikely depiction of how the police operate and another cop who seems to be eleven years old.It doesn't really make a whole lot of sense but if you like really bad movies then it is sure to entertain you. It's worth watching just to see the most pitiful street gang since the movie Wraith.
