Historical masterpiece

Because of this "film" a new classification should be established: "the C movie".
For productions like this one that go completley out of their way to create
"something" that defies human reasoning and gives "B movies" a bad name.
There is no escuse for this. Low on cash? Plotless script? etc... Whatever.
None matter.
Someone should have notice at some point, maybe during editing (and surely the director), that this is the worst movie ever made.
You see, this is not even camp.
This people believe they were doing a "real" horror movie.
Truly. ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Gee, good grief...
Every film student around the world must be forced to watch it
on the first day and explained:
"what you're going to watch is the worst ever real C movie ever made".

Also, because of this "film", the IMBd should modify the voting system, allowing people to vote in the negative too: from (-)1 to (-)10 shoud be included. That would allow "the C movies" to average "0" or less, which is what they truly deserve, making the voting system result more accurate.
Can u dig it?

I give Orgy of the Dead a generous negative five [ -5 ]
for effort and for being the inspiration for Elvira.

Who else out there had to fast forward the whole flick all the way in order to be alble to say: "yeah, dude, I saw it too"- ?

I could be wrong, but I think this movie wasn't supposed to be a horror movie, or even a regular narrative movie. It was supposed to be softcore porn. They had to add a "story" as a linking device and also to make it legal, since this was before the relaxing of the rules on nudity and sex which happened in 1968 or 1969 or so. The '50s and early '60s had a lot of movies like this, only less elaborate, like the infamous Russ Meyer movie, "The Immoral Mr. Teas" (1959).

Similar movies made during that time include KISS ME QUICK aka DR. BREEDLOVE and HOUSE ON BARE MOUNTAIN. These were so-called nudie-cuties that used horror elements such as monsters, etc. These were the last of these kinds of movies as the softcore producers started making rougher movies during this time.

reasons why this movie is a joke...

1) its a straight road, and the car is driving in the dessert, then suddenly the car flips over (straight road) and then they start walking.. and then they are in the forest....

and the pretty much the rest of the movie was a joke lol

I just picked up the dvd. After watching the trailer I highly doubt I will "fast forward" through it. I happen to like watching women dance around topless. Add in a cheesy horror atmosphere, and after a few bong hits I'm planning on having an enjoyable time. You must be gay.?

You're confusing Gay with Not a shallow ass

You want to watch naked girls dancing, Strip clubs and porn, simple

ermm, you happen to be on the internet. I will give you a hint. There are boobs here. Buying a random 60s zombie film that makes your eyes try to kill each other out of compassion seems to be a roundabout way of doing things.

Ok, you’re trying to be funny, but you’re witless. So you watched the trailer and determined that “Orgy of the Dead” is your new all-time favorite movie. But instead of actually watching the movie right away you came here first and saw that I’m being harsh to this movie. So while numbing your diminutive brain with THC you decided to be rude to me, you wasted dope-azs. No, you’re not funny; you’re just in moronic daze.

I’m not gay but even if I were that would not make this crappy movie any worse of a production. I’m sure you don’t understand what gay is even if one were drilling you. If you can have an enjoyable time watching this I suggest you save money on Novocain on your dentist visits; you’ll have the time of your life.

Wow, you really are gay.

[–] DRAGON-KING 18 years ago

I see your point soviet2101 and Nooseman.
This belongs to the forgotten sleazy business era.

I admit that I don’t know much about the porn movie industry and its pre-80’s era. I know more about the modern times movie industry in general.
In theory sounds intresting (horror/porn) and I don’t compare the movie to more recent productions like a Misty Mundae movie or nothing… But my friend even lowering all my standards to nothingness this movie still sucks the big one. Not even the shady porn angle works!!!!

But thanks for the remark clearing up the business angle.
I did see an interview with the director where he makes the claim that "Orgy of the Dead" is "a horror film".

It's certainly a damn sight worse than the entire IMDB bottom 10.

Has any of you guys ever seen a Nudie Cutie films before? As Nudie Cuties go its pretty good. It heaps better than those "teach has to go undercover at a nudist camp to protect the good of community" nudie cuties. In fact i would go as far to say its the biggest budget nudie cutie film ever made!!! The film is called "Orgy of the Dead"! Didnt you know Ed Wood wrote it? What were u expecting?

[–] twelvepointnine 16 years ago

Dear Dr. Spider Man, you seem to be one of the few people around here with any notice of OOTD contribution to movie history. It's nót a horror movie, as The Devil In Miss Jones is no guide for catholic girls, though I love to believe so.

Enjoy with any preferred narcotics and not to much expectations about dialogue, acting or even nudity.

Fear is the mother of morality.

After hearing about this "classic" horror movie I thought I just had to see it.
Big mistake!!!
When the guy started to speak he was obviously reading from a board(and I expect missing his glasses).
Then there was the car ride where the guy is trying to act(and he hasn't got a clue how to) and after the first girl started to dance with an "I'm bored and would rather be somewhere else" expression it pretty much was the end for me . Thanks to the fast forward button I only lost about 20 minutes and not the 90 I could have lost.

I dig it, DRAGON-KING. This shouldn’t be regarded as a film but as a form of matter that merely exists - a tasteless, odorless, weightless, gaseous substance (or a ghastly substance). Orgy of the Dead makes Doris Wishman’s nudie films of the 60s look like creative works of substance and meaning.

[–] LateNightCable 11 years ago

I don't see how anyone could think Orgy of the Dead is anything close to the worst movie ever made. I guess it's one of those genres people love to hate, even if it's good. But a movie made up almost entirely of naked or half dressed women could never be bad. Thin on plot, maybe, but not bad. And it's funny too, intentionally or unintentionally matters none. Any man who doesn't like Orgy would have to be either gay or un-dead.

This movie was made 10 years too early. At least, in 1975, the women would have been fully nude instead of just topless. I'm a guy who is not ashamed to admit I watch terrible movies to see naked women. The 70's was full of bad movies but I loved them.

''Historical'' movie, no. ''HYSTERICAL'' MOVIE, yes.
