I wasn't really expecting much from the beginning as it had only cost me a mere five pounds but I was prepared to sit back and watch anyway.The movie itself stands merely as a simple time waster offering very little new, nor exciting. Its setbacks are the shoddy and over-the-top acting mainly originating from the younger actors, the cheesy special effects, and the downright lack of zombies.

The cover art was better than the movie. (I use the term movie loosely) The acting was the worst thing I have ever seen. I have spent more money on a good dinner than was spent on the special effects for this (movie). I should have turned it off after the kid turned his Grand Fathers Laser Disk Player in to a death ray.

It now sit on the self and I threaten to tie the kids up and make the watch it again if they act up. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful By Bosdieck@aol.com (Madrid, Spain) - See all my reviews This review is from: Raiders of Living Dead [VHS] (VHS Tape) If you like cheap horror movies, there are millions more out there, and they are probably all better than this one. This movie isn't even very bloody, as most of the killing is done with a lazer that some kid makes from a compact disk player. Don't waste your money, instead stick to Romero's Night of the Living Dead trilogy. |
