With its trashy and fun attitude, this low budget horror was very entertaining. Watching it in 2022 it struggles to provide sufficient scares or laughs for a modern audience. A for effort!

Average, It didn't entertain me.
It has all the classic element for a great B movie: Humor, splatter, gratuitous nudity, 80' Punks...but It fail to use them in the "right" way.
You can watch it just for educational purpose on Zombie movieAverage, It didn't entertain me.

This is most certainly a 'so bad its good' kind of a film - borderline video nasty territory, I suppose, although for some there may not be enough gory scenes to count as such.

The plotline is laughable, the performances are cheesy and the names of some of the rebellious teenagers certainly made me laugh. Its cheesy and silly and a bit creepy but I certainly wouldn't say its one of the genuinely scariest films I've ever seen. I understand why its categorised as comedy before horror - I'd assumed this would be more of a horror film, given the name and the images I'd seen. Seeing how the older men react when they realise what happened was amusing...it is amusing and pretty silly but its also really quite forgettable and so I can't really give it a higher rating than this. If you like trashy 80s films that border between comedy and horror, or/and if your keen on zombie films then this is probably worth a watch but otherwise I wouldn't bother really. Oh and...BRAINS!. Heh.… Expand
