Raiders of the Damned

Anything really that makes you presume this film is anything better than the reviews its given is false. I've never witnessed a crappier film in my life and I've seen Windfall. I know its working on a limited budget and it shows but if this is true don't make a film using so many poor special effects and rubbish acting , better yet Don't MAKE THE FILM !!!.

My assumption of zombies and any assumption of zombies made in any other film is shot down by the intelligent ones in this film, who don't even seem like zombies , just humans with really bad rashes. I don't claim to be the expert on zombies but I'm adamant that they were never meant to be intelligent or in the case of Land of the Dead only primitive levels of intelligence.

In my eyes this film is a disgrace and should never have been made , especially when you compare it to other films.Its not even good for people who like small studio films, it fails on nearly every attempt , the acting is either hollow or over acted , no one strikes a balance. I couldn't believe how i watched it , in fact i didn't even bother to see the end as I refused to surrender more minutes of my life towards a nonsensical storyline that just seemed to drag on and on.

Only my passion for hating this film made me write this and i feel it is my duty to steer you away from it. Don't try and watch this film thinking that maybe it will be funny crap and you can have a laugh at it , the action is slow moving and just poor. Only a ridiculous amount of drugs and alcohol could possibly make this film entertaining.

Avoid this film like the plague , or be DAMNED FOR ALL ETERNITY ! (or at least for however it runs for)

Have to agree that this was really, really not worth watching. And the write up had such promise.

The acting was terrible and they spent ages trying to build up characters into an Aliens-type military crew without the acting ability to back them up. Not one of them was convincing in their role. Very, very boring first half hour to the film. Have to say that the skeleton-in-a-cloak character had far more charisma and depth than the main cast! Rest of the film was wondering what on earth was going on and why. (and what was with those goggles?!). This film is also notable for containing the worst round house kick in history.

On the plus side, the lead bad guy was actually a million miles better than the rest of the cast and gave a pretty good performance.

To watch this film, one must understand Three things... Three things... A good drinking game. Understanding the lack of budget vs Resources. Allowing to shut your mind off and have a sense of humor. Once that is achieved you can sit back and enjoy the wild ride.

The Visual effects given limitations where acceptable and the acting was tongue and cheek. Don't expect the walking dead treatment. This movie is a blast to watch with the right kind of beverage.

The lighting and cinematography lacks in depth and continuity, but, again, it's cheesy entertainment. Made by and for the nerds for a late-night pizza bash. Bring the chips and beer. It's so bad it's good.

Aired in the UK on 19th March 2006 on the Horror channel, i was expecting a enjoyable zombie flick. I'm a big fan of these types of film so a small amount of bad acting and a bad script wouldn't have bothered me. But this film was TERRIBLE!!! It was almost a remake of George A.s Day of the dead. Within about three minutes of watching this film i could tell it was going to be bad. But i thought i would give it the benefit of the doubt hoping it would get better. It got worse! A lot worse. I've got to be honest i think I'm going to give these low budget, horror flicks, only ever gonna be shown on Horror channel films a miss from now on because there not even remotely enjoyable. I cant understand how there even shown on T.V. But don't take my word for it. You may even enjoy it. I doubt it though.

Please, people! You can't judge this "film" simply on the merits of its acting and screen writing! It's really all a matter of taste.

Think about it. If you happen to *like* bad movies then this would be a *good* movie, now wouldn't it? Ever seen "Showgirls"? "Godfather III"? Classics! And this one is worse - which makes it better!! Get it? Hey, even "War of the Worlds", starring Tom Cruise and directed by Steven Spielberg blew chunks! And that one cost at least 400 times more than this film. And the producers of "Raiders" didn't try to shove some nutty religion down your throat in some tent on the set of the movie. Well...frankly...they could't really afford a tent. But if they could, they would never try to fill your little brain with such nonsense.

And this movie has a sword. And Richard Grieco. "21 Jump Street" rules! Hey, what ever happened to that DeLuise guy and the cool Asian butt-kicker guy? That was such a cool show. But even they didn't have swords.

I say...see it and judge for yourself. Then, go out and rent it (or buy it if you're smart) and invite your friends over and have a rad double feature with "Showgirls". If you're even smarter, you'll show "Killer Bees" with Michael Caine as a bonus. Or "Trog"! "Trog" is awesome! Hey, if Academy Award nominee Joan Crawford can do a movie with a savage, prehistoric caveman, you can cut this movie some slack and grab some popcorn and have a little Saturday night fun.

This movie kicks Zombie booty!
