The WORST Zombie Flick? WORST?

I think not.

Maybe it's ME who is the weird one, but Nightmare City, Oasis Of The Zombies, and Zombie 4/5 are what I deem "total crap". So bad they're... bad. Unwatchable.

True, VIRUS has bad stock footage. It ripped off Dawn of the Dead (the story AND the music). It has bad voice-overs. But it's fun! It's entertaining. Awesome gore (The Eyeball Scene... yes). Awesome corpses.

It's no "Zombi II" or "Carnival Of Souls" but it's a pretty *beeping* good way to spend a boring night after working late. Yes, I like it, have seen it about 4 or 5 times, and will so again. And probably again.

I think it is not half bad. I can think of worse Zombie movies. Revenge of the Dead and Zombie Lake come to mind

I agree....Hell of the Living Dead/Night of the Zombies/Virus/Zombie Creping Flesh was a HELL of a good time. I've never laughted so hard. I do have to disagree as I also found Zombi 4 (aka After Death) and Nightmare City to be entertaining as well (in a bad movie way). The absolute WORST zombie movies I have ever seen are Zombie Lake and "Day of the Dead" 2: Contagium

Has no one here seen Childred of the Living Dead? WORST zombie movie ever made.

"Abbot Hayeeesssss!"

I loved this movie. So what it's no masterpiece, but thats half of what zombie cinema is all about. The acting wasn't too bad, the characters were interesting....fair enough it ripped off dawn of the dead, but who doesn't?

If you want "The WORST" watch Zombie Nosh, although i haven't seen most of these other titles you people are saying. And i don't really intend to...

[–] cinemanchild 18 years ago

Children of the Living Dead was certainly nothing special, but Day of the Dead 2: Contagium is the absolute worst.

AVOID IT AT ALL COSTS! Do not purchase or rent this movie as it will certainly disappoint. I should know... I spent $15.00 on the piece of crap. It was the only living dead movie that sucked so bad that I hurled the DVD at a wall, which is something I have never done with any movie.

Cheers!

Oh sweet merciful crap that movie sucked! Children of the Living Dead is the only movie I've ever felt the need to destroy immediately after watching -- and then I did just that. Apparently I have a curse, though, because a year later I got another copy in a zombie pack for a present...
Was Abot Hayes a magic zombie, or just a crazy homeless guy? You be the judge.

[–] ntwrock 18 years ago

Not seen this one yet. I keep seeing Zombie Creeping Flesh in my local HMV but I never knew it was Hell of the Living Dead... Maybe this will be my next purchase.

Worst zombie movie? Well considering I fell asleep during Oasis of the Zombies due to lack of action, surely that must be regarded as the worst. Yes, just unwatchable. My mom bought it for me and said she found it funny, so I was quite excited, but it was extremely boring.

[–] CoCage 18 years ago

The worst zombie movie is Zombie 5 Killing Birds. The reason I only have it is because of the zombie pack. I enjoyed Zombi 3 and Z4:After Death, but Killing Birds I never even bothered to open because people said it was so horrible; once I saw the trailer for it online, I told myself "OK not watching this s***!". Peace out zombie fans.

[–] Robotext 14 years ago

The best part of Zombie 5 is the interview w/Robert Vaughn in the DVD extras.

Don't bother with the movie.

[–] zombihntr 13 years ago

I like some of the movies mentioned like Flesh Eater and I can enjoy stuff like Zombie Lake and Toxic Zombies on a cheese level.

The worst for me is Ulli Lommel's Zombie Nation. Unenjoyable on any level.

[–] Dude42 18 years ago

Zombie 5 the killing birds is the worst!

[–] YankeeDood 18 years ago

No, the worst I've seen is "Flesh Freaks".
This movie isn't half bad.

"House of the Dead" is worse than any of them.

[–] pickle45013 18 years ago

House of the Dead the worst? You've never seen Children of the Living Dead or Zombie Lake then.

I would say that Zombiez is the worst zombie movie ever, but short of the title, that movie doesn't seem to have anything to do with zombies.

What the heck could I possibly say worthwhile in 100 characters?
Ah.

[–] cardboardzombie 18 years ago

Yeh thats all you should watch these movies for, fun

Haven't seen that one - why's it so bad.

[–] Drive-In-Freak 18 years ago

Come on now people...No Garden of the Dead or Curse of the Sceaming Dead?

Sure Children of the Living Dead was kinda cheezy, buit not that bad.

[–] martin_the_martian 18 years ago

Yes it's bad, but definitely so bad it's funny...

Still, not as 'so bad it's funny' as Zombi 3, After Death, The Zombie Dead and Contamination!

[–] mr_nosco 18 years ago

I never laughed so much whilst watching a zombie flick!

The widlife footage cracked me up every time it reared its head for starters, and some of the stuff that goes on in and around the movie had me in fits. Like when the reporter just strips of all her clothes and goes running of into the jungle coz she spent "A year at some tribe", Quality! pmslf! Then the lead soldier guy trys and chats her up not so long after he and his totally pathectic looking geriatric S.W.A.T Team take over the landrover, by saying Hey! if we had met in a coctail bar we'd be in the sack by now! summat along those lines wtf its hillarious.

For the zombies in the flick some where ok, some were great, and some looked like they had forgot to go in make up and walked on set and the crew just went arggh what the hell and filmed em any way.

hahaa

I loved the granny Zombie with the rat feasting on her insides at the house. She was impressive! One of my fave Zombies so far.

Yeah its not great but its funny as hell.

[–] Rusty1988 18 years ago

this is crap, the dubbing is so funny, but RATS NIGHT OF TERROR IS WORSE

[–] pimproj45 18 years ago

I will acknowledge that this is funny and somewhat bad considering that it is an hour and 43 minutes! and some of the great films of all time are not as long!

The dub is so bad its good, cause you will watch some one stare into the jungle and it cuts to an animal on an open plain with no jungle in sight.

But someone has to say that the musical score with those guitar riffs just f*%#ing rocked!

All in all, every director of a zombie flick has stolen from everyone else and any film revolving around the undead is usually bad.

[–] krispik 18 years ago

Worst movie I've ever seen. Bar none.

Half the time the light was so bad, all you could see was random motion. The other half, it jumped to bright daylight Wild Kingdom footage.

Elephants charging in New Guinea? Jackals and hyenas? Native women skinning a zebra in the village? Wtf?

Horrible. Not in a good way.

[–] therealirishvirus 15 years ago

Am I only person here that has seen that *beep* of a movie Night of the Living Dead 3D?

Oh, wait... Hold on a second, I got a text message....

....

....

Oh, its just a frackin zombie.

[–] zombizombizombi 18 years ago

Hell no it rulzz love hell of the living dead aka night of the zombies!

[–] Charlie_Foxtrot_Company 18 years ago

Zombie Lake...to this date the only film ive ever literally fallen asleep while watching.

House of the Dead 1 & 2.

Both were horribly bad but two just tooking the f'ing cake. Notice how they had like ten minutes before the missle strike, yet like the film went on for like thirty more before it actually happened? And im sorry you do not survive getting chopped in half by the waist and come back for a sequel. Sorry Elise, I loved ya in Haloween but i only felt sorry for you in these two clunkers.
