Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

A Masterpiece!

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

A deranged doctor is resurrecting dead convicts as zombie, a insipid newspaper reporter investigate, and it's up to a kid with a weapon he made from a VCR to stop them. If that sounds ridiculously stupid, that isn't the half of it, my friend. The child actors are beyond horrible and the adult ones arn't any better, the plot is awful, the action pretty much non-existent, and just bad in every sense of the word. But sadly I've seen worse movies. I know, I know, even I don't envy me. I kinda dug the cheesy '80's them song.Eye Candy: None in the main film, but the "Dying Day" version has nudity My Grade: D- DVD Extras: Disc 1) Sam Sherman Commentary on the final "Raiders of the Living Dead"; and the 80-minute "Dying Day" (with missing audio and poor quality throughout); that Sherman's company bought from Brett Piper Disc 2) the second version "Dark Night" (with missing audio and poor quality throughout); Stills gallery; "House of Terror" Promo; Theatrical Trailer; Trailers for "Mad Doctor of Blood Island", "Brides of Blood", "Beast of Blood", "Brain of Blood", "Blood of the Vampires", "The Blood Drinkers", and "Horror of the Blood Monsters"

Well for starters it is a bad movie but it is fun.The score was great in the movie.Also the song that plays before the movie starts was so 80s and it was cool THE DEAD ARE AFTER ME YEA!Its a cheesy song alright I think also it was campy to, the Bad acting cool looking zombies. The zombies look like the dawn/day of the dead look going on there.There are a few fulci looking ones to you see them early in the film they are from another movie a better zombie movie Brett Piperer's DYING DAY!Well I say check it out if your in the mood for a campier not that bloody of a zombie film do see The DVD is great movie 6/10 DVD 8/10 thanks!

Like all other reviewers said this movies is thrash! A total waste of time and money for the viewers and total waste of roll and money for the studio! There are some zombies but none of them attack or kill people and those zombies arent as scary as the ones in Zombie or Burial Ground, etc.. as for as make-up wise is concerned! Well there is only one zombie in the movie that have cool make-up (the one in the hotel)!This could have been a good movie if the hero wasnt a kid who invented a laser-gun to get rid of the zombies, if the movie wasnt main at an younger audience (Barney is scarier that this movie damn it) and actually if there was gore in it! In other words it would have been good if it was a completely different movie!I guess that is why Scott Schwartz (the little boy (hero)) became a porn star when he became adult, to forget everything about this piece of thrash of a movie! 0/10

I've seen some God awful films in my time but this must rate as one of the most dull, then again, there was 'Zombie Aftermath.'The story as Zombie films go is not particularly offensive, we've got the typical out of town reporter investigating some strange goings on in a run down chemical plant that's become a bit of an urban myth around town. But you know you're in trouble when any 'horror' film begins with an overlong montage sequence of stills from the video cover accompanied by a cheezy eighties soft-rock theme tune. Things only deteriorate from then on. The opening sequence is immensely shaky, with lumbering actors (no, these are not the ones playing the zombies,) crusty library music, jerky camerawork, little dialogue, (though when you actually hear the 'actors,' and I use the term loosely here, it's understandable,) and along with ploddy editing, the whole thing appears clearly worse than it already is. The Direction is so poor in fact, it had me reaching for the box to read the blurb on the back to possibly find out what the hell was going on.Soon we're 'treated' to a Swat team shoot out (I wonder where they got that idea from?) but it appears no one told any of the cast, because they look like they're rehearsing for a school play. And it's understandable going by the crappy props they're given to 'shoot' with. It's hard not to be critical when a film reeks as bad as this one. Just when things don't look like they can get any worse the story line introduces some irritating school kids who start building Laser guns (ooh how fifties,) from their broken CD players, to help in the fight against the undead. Oh and the laser effects are truly amazing, the FX crew ought to be knighted, and perhaps given crayons instead of the felt pins they obviously used for the film, just in case they injure themselves, or horror upon horror, work on another film! Obviously the creators of this thought they'd make a quick buck from a genre that doesn't necessarily need a lot of capital to produce. But here the cutting of corners and cheapness of the whole production is painfully evident.Those hoping for a cheap but entertaining zombie outing ought to look elsewhere because 'Raiders...' provides about as much entertainment as watching paint dry. Try instead Jorge Grau's highly recommended 'Don't Open the Window' (known as 'The Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue' in the U.K.) or J.W. Bookwalter's rewarding cheapo 'The Dead Next Door.'Buyers or renters beware, IVS U.K. have put together a half decent cover with clever packaging (unlike the one pictured above) that seems very reminiscent of early 'Evil Dead' and 'Return of the Living Dead' releases that will perhaps lure a few curious but misguided horror fans, but take it from me this was one film I (and many others no doubt,) could have done without seeing.
