Zombie Nightmare is one of those "funny in a bad way" movies that's actually quite endearing. I admit, I'm basing this review on the MST episode. Yet, I beg anyone who loves the show who hasn't seen this episode to see it. This is classic 80's pain, much like what "Angel's Revenge" did for the 70's.
Oh well, where to begin. The funniest moment actually occurs in the first minute of the movie. I won't give it away, yet I will say that its supposed to supply quite a "jolt", but instead is probably one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. I love the use of music in this scene too. Its almost like the makers of this movie seemed to think they were so "cool". Yes, I am a fan of Motorhead!
I guess, the synoposis of this movie is this. Big, heavy metal dude gets killed by punks, then gets turned into a zombie and seeks revenge. That's about it. Adam West may have played Batman, but let's face it, he's a horrible actor. His scenes don't even seem phoned in. He plays such a jerky detective, yet he's strangely distant and disjointed. I think if you had a hypnotized actor doing a role, that actor would have more interest than West has in this movie.
There are also "great" scenes where West's young detective protege thinks that something else is killing the kid's, and a great argument ensues. This is DRAMA!
2/10 movie grade A- MST episode grade
