Zombie Toxin (1996 Video) User Reviews

Coprophiliac's delight

[JohnSeal · 3/10 · 22 December 2008]

Viewed within the context of most straight to video 'films', Zombie Toxin is far from the worst the genre can offer. (If you don't believe me, watch it back to back with Zombie 90: Extreme Pestilence and tell me I'm wrong.) However, it's still pretty bad. Others have summarised the plot in sufficient detail; I will merely add that if you are fond of vomiting and diarrhea, you will love this film. If not for the fact that it is clearly a comedy, Zombie Toxin would make Salo: The 120 Days of Sodom look like a children's birthday party. The film continues the great British tradition of cross-dressing for laughs, and is highlighted by a Yorkshireman's satiric take on New York, New York, here entitled Oop North, Oop North. It's bloody, it's disgusting, and it's bloody disgusting, but at least it made me almost chuckle a few times--mostly when the wine bottles attempt to conquer the world!

Complete trash by anyone's standard (1 out of 10)

A dead horse infects two men with a disease that turns them in to overacting, poorly made up zombies. As they carry on defecating and vomiting on each other they contaminate a field of yeast (?), giving two Nazi-wannabes the idea of buying the infected field, selling the yeast in home wine-brewing kits and destroying the rest of humanity by spreading the infection. A man buys a kit and makes the wine and, in yet another act of creative genius by the writer, the bottles get up on their own and start attacking people. I'm usually pretty forgiving when it comes to movies that are clearly made by amateurs that are working with extremely low budgets, but this is probably the most juvenile, unimaginative, and pointless piece of garbage that I've ever seen make it on to commercially produced video tapes. And if the terrible acting, zero budget and non-existent plot didn't make this bad enough, writer/director Thomas Moose seems to have a sick obsession with defecation and vomiting, which leads to some of the most excessive and needlessly disgusting scenes I've ever watched. 1 out of 10, if director Moose has any talent he's done a pretty thorough job of making sure it didn't show itself here, all he does is provide proof that some people should stay away from camcorders as well as sharp objects.
