Jack Bravman's fearlessly freaky folly is a marvellously maniacal monster mashing mélange with heroically hot water bottle blasting heavy metal singing Zombie Jon Mikl Thor taking his righteously murderous, Voodoo-inspired, baseball bat bludgeoning revenge on an especially witless gang of Walmart wallowing wastrels, including a future 'Red Witch' Tia Carrere, this morbid morality tale garishly exposes the perfidious pastimes of shiftless, small town skells, hopped-up on Hirsute heavy metal, persistently perpetrating hormone-induced fractious nightclub hi-jinks; these switch-blade stabbing simpletons, being wantonly wasted, inveterate DUI speed freaks fatally cross the line, escalating from tawdry teenage delinquency to grievous vehicular homicide! And not long after these party hearty hedonists have laughingly absconded from their dastardly deed, callously leaving the mangled remains of benign muscle head Tony Washington (Jon Mikl Thor) on the road, manifested malevolently through the occult ministrations of hysterical Voodoo priestess Molly Mokembe (Manuska Rigaud), the once shattered, latterly lifeless corpse of mom-loving, affable meathead Tony deliriously awakens to the thunderous, skeleton-shattering sounds of Motörhead, his devilishly deranged, zombified mind singularly hell-bent on a most gruesomely rendered revenge! Jack Bravman's fabulously skewed 'Zombie Nightmare' is a diabolically demented splatter-movie dream wherein the wilder, psychotronic sensibilities of Ed Wood Jr., and Ray Dennis Steckler are crudely amalgamated, and boisterously given a gnarly 80s heavy metal B-movie make over! A magisterially bad, hilariously mad monster movie freak show, this asinine, Adam West-mugging, terminally trashy nightmare is one I'd happily never awaken from! And lumbering no less disgracefully than Tor Johnson, the pectorially proud protagonist Jon Mikl Thor's eternally lame Zombie avenger is arguably one of trash horror's more memorably heavy hitting heroes, with an ear-splittingly ecstatic score, 'Zombie Nightmare' maintains a killer splatting average, and still dazzlingly delivers a grisly good, balls out, B-Movie hit-and-run!
