Reviews

Reading the comments here a lot of people comment on style and imagery. Fact is all of Fulci's movies are poorly shot. The soft focus and lack of lighting doesn't intensify the horror it really obscures it. I'm watching the film right now and what occurs to me is I don't enjoy it. And I didn't like Gates of Hell either. But I'm not a big gore person.

I don't think all the talk about what was originally shot or how it was meant to be seen apply because we have all of Fulci's library to draw on and his style is clear. He was never better than a mediocre director. His pieces didn't turn out and are disappointing because he either didn't have the talent or the craftsmanship to make them better.

I can only watch someone's eye popped out so many times before I start to want something more.

This movie is every bit as good as the good reviews here indicate and absolutely not for you if toy have ADD or need your horror spoon fed to you.

What I love about this movie most is the unflinching reveal of the final line of the movie. This is not a movie about insanity. It's a movie about.... well, you'll have to watch it to learn that, but like another movie with a similar subject, Frailty, it's about exactly what you would never believe exists... but it does. And that prospect in itself is horrifying in it's implications. Special effects are not needed although I must say the setting and sound effects to me are worth a billion dollars of ILM special effects.

I'd love to sit and have a discussion of this movie with intelligent horror fans. It's that darn good and original that you when the final knife twists you want to turn and ask someone "did that really happen?" And the answer is, "That's exactly what happened."

This movie made me angry not because it was really bad, almost all zombie movies are bad, but because it just ripped and ripped and ripped off Romero's movies without as much as a wink. It's not new to borrow from Romero but this is as unoriginal, boring and poorly executed as it gets.

I normally wouldn't slash another artist's work this way but looking at the IMDb comments here there are clearly planted 10 star reviews from interested parties and that's kind of lame.

The only good thing about this movie is two of the women who take off their tops have really great breasts. I can imagine the crew of this film hanging out and slapping themselves on the back for getting us to rent this but please stop making movies. It costs too much to go to Blockbuster and pick up two or three of these awful movies that no one seemed to put enough time or effort into making.

I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with the guy who wrote the review on the top screen. Not vehemently but slightly. This is a really good and unique film for the genre. In contrast to most of the living dead movies ever made this is a classic.

You;re right, though, the scene at the supermarket and the theatre scene are standouts. I think it is well shot, or at least unintentionally atmospheric and I like it because I get a feel of that time and place in independent film-making.

Could have been better but more than technical perfection I look for uniqueness in a movie and this one is unique. Since video stores no longer actually have videos it's great that movie like this are making their way to compilation packages at media superstores. If you see this one in a combo package go ahead and but it I think you'll like it.

Why was dennis Hopper in this movie? Or John Leguizamo? It doesn't surprise me that a lot of people who haven't seen the other movies liked this one. It was made for them. They gave Romero some money finally and it destroyed everything that was good about the trilogy. He dumbed it down and used too many effects and my gut feeling is they rewrote the script and re-edited the project without his permission.

This is a much dumber movie than the other three. A black zombie and a little white girl zombie out front shamble through a rain of bullets that must have scored a few head shots, but I guess the knock on the head statement was more important than any sense of "reality." The black zombie yells every time you see him. His "awakening" is pretty stupid and forced.

I didn't like this movie and if you know me www.zombielogicpress.com you know Day of the Dead and Dawn of the Dead are my favorite movies.

I hope the studios never give George Romero another penny because it ruined his ability to remain the master of his own genre.

I rented this movie five times before I figured out bloodsucking Nazi zombies AND oasis OF THE zombies were the same movie. It was unfortunate but I was in the habit of fastforwarding through movies I knew would be bad. I can't imagine having ever watched Redneck Zombies in real time. But actually this movie isn't as bad as it might seem. There's even a plot and the zombies aren't too bad I gave it six genre stars. I might even rent it a seventh time eventually. But if you can't get enough of the old zombies then I suggest you check out www.zombielogicpress.com for your one-stop zombie shopping needs. Highly recommended.

I love this movie because it has a sense of humor, but more importantly a sense of style and play that is missing from current American cinema. My guess is that this movie turned out exactly how Bob Clark wanted it. The colors, costumes and performances are great symbols of an early seventies that I remember as a kid. This is the way i remember things looking, only slightly aggrandized. Alan Ormsby is funny, clever and effective as the theatre troupe/cult leader. I'm not sure if the cemetery in Miami is real or not, guessing it is to save money, but it is a perfect setting. Love this movie. CHeck out my www.zombielogicpress.com for more on zombies.

I love this movie. When I began renting exclusively horror movies in the late eighties I'd rent movies like The Seven Brothers Meet Dracula and Monster Club and The House That Dripped Blood... and eventually I realized they were all by the same director, Roy Ward Baker. What stands out in his fillms to me is the colors. He goes for some really bold color choices. Monster Club is a funny movie. The musical interludes betw2een the vignettes are pretty damn snappy f you've heard them a hundred times, and I have. The stories are good. The dippy costumes are effective and fun. I saw it hosted by Elvira Mistress of the Dark and that made a lot of difference but it's a good movie with or without her breastesses.

You could go ahead and make a case that this is the best zombie movie of all time. I wouldn't stop you. On any given night it very well could be. It isn't but it could be. It is a damn good movie in or out of the genre. And fun. I watched it 15 times on Showtime Beyond this year. I still need to get ahold of that Cramps song "The Surfin Dead" How about Linnea Quigley? Huh? Huh? I saw her in a recent scream queens special and she's hot as ever though a little weathered and apparently hanging out with some ding dong who handles props or something and hides in her bathroom while she's doing interviews. You'd do her, though. And so would I and all those old zombie guys in the movie are they fdoing her or eating her or maybe both. I don't know but I can't blame them.

This is my favorite of the Trilogy, now the Quadrology, and I'll tell you why: this movie is bleak, man. They're ain't no song and dance routines or pie fights. The zombies are ahead 500,00 to one and the dipshits in the bunker can't get it together enough to quit squabbling amongst themselves. That's human nature, man. Dead on. It's all over and Romero portrays it unflinchingly. The colors in the movie are stark and depressing. The wails from the corral are eerie. You feel like it's all over. And it is. That's how I like my zombie movies. But feel free to make as many as you want, Mr Romero, I'll sure as hell buy them. Fragaments, I need to have ten lines. I can say more. I think the ending is a dream sequence because there's no way that stoner fueled up that helicopter. They're dead. Dead as hell and it's all over humanity. Anyone disagree?
