3/10
bad pacing, abrupt cuts, and silly premise.

There are two types of zombie movies; the undead plague over running the world zombie movie, and the dead person turned into a zombie by voodoo priests and taking revenge zombie movie. I am not a big fan of the latter type, unfortunately Zombie Nightmare falls into this category. Bias aside, I think this is a pretty OK film, and by OK I mean, very mediocre, but it doesn't deserve the low score it has.

The plot is a bit silly, considering that a) there is a local neighborhood voodoo priestess, and b), when the hero is run over, his mother doesn't even attempt to call an ambulance, but goes directly to her local voodoo priestess demanding she turned her son into a zombie for revenge.

Other than that, I find the pacing rather poor, lots of film wasted on non essential scenes, and (perhaps as a result of MST3K editing) a bit disjointed, a lot of scenes end kind of abruptly, and jump to another one with very little connection between the two. There is also a kind of all pervading feeling of cheesiness about the whole movie.

Except for that, the movie would be, well watchable, but the bad pacing, disjointed plot, and overall silliness draws it down to just above bad.
