What were the odds of this being any good..? Slim to none !!!!

I am ploughing through the Catacomb of Creepshow 50 movie box set and it is films like this that are making me feel that this is a torturous slog.

Two Goth teens are chased by three resurrected dead people killed by a gang of thugs. The Grim Reaper runs a bookies on the odds of who will die next.

Acting is awful, special effects are bad. There is one scene that is made up of live action animation, why?

I watched this @ 11 am on a Sunday morning and felt my eyelids getting heavier and heavier by the minute, even though I had a good nights sleep. Boring for the most part and then in the last twenty minutes there is a sizable amount of gore, but really it was little too late for me.

Some decent music though.

Catacomb of Creepshows #27 (of 50) or pretty stiff odds that you won't like this one

This ultra low-budget zombie flicks wants to be funny, gory and zany, but only succeeds in being an exercise in cheap, groan-inducing ADD cinema. The plot, be it what it may, revolves around the grim reaper running a fight club and zombies that are after two goths that got away. Basically just an excuse to to throw a combination of badly done gore, stop- motion photographs, and idiotic 'funny' and 'zany madcap' characters at the screen in hopes that it would somehow work as a film. It doesn't and became grating on my nerves before to long. This is a very good example on how not only not to make a zombie comedy, but on how not to make a movie.

Yawn of the dead

Warning: Spoilers
I had heard bad things about this movie. This zombie comedy is moderately amusing. This is the type of project you do for high school. To show your pals you are rad, cool or Gallus. Though the film makers seem to be on LSD,smoking some weird weed or are addicted to very cheap wine (you know the powered wine you have to mix in the bottle) or all of the above.

Plot some boring dude in a red cat suit decides to raise the dead for some unknown reason. They (the three zombies) hijack a car and do utterly tedious things. That is the plot as far as I can work it out.

The make up for the zombies is really poor a bit of green face dye is not scary.

Here is my suggested list of people who should watch it. The cast and crew, their parents and the aunts/Uncles. Or if you want to see one of the worst zombie movies ever made.... its up there with Storm of the dead, children of the living dead, the remake of day of the dead and not forgetting day of the dead 2 contagion. Though it might actually be better that DOTDC.

choose wisely,this or Casablanca? There is a scene in this film where a character is defecated on by several people at the same time, and I dunno … I didn't enjoy it And yet this is not quite an Idiot Plot, so called because a word from either party would instantly end the confusion. It maintains the confusion only up to a point, and then does an interesting thing: What you have are two people the audience desires to see together, and a lot of devices to keep them apart. I choose Caleb Allen!! or maybe a hot shower. my hot water came back, turkey sandwich... intestinal track..The movie is sophisticated enough not to make the mega store into the villain. Say what you will, those giant stores are fun to spend time in.cold beer...IPA...All of this is magnificent. But it reduces the center of the film to a series of set pieces. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed myself.
