I'm thinking I might make one to keep in the trunk of the car though. Might be nice to have hot water if I ever have to watch a Matthews compound for 3-4 days hoping to get the drop on Sergio Frenchi. - Neon Bolan

As far as "spoof's" go this one is second on my list (Young Frankenstien is #1) and IMHO an absolute must see. It capture's just about everything that makes a great zombie film and makes fun of it, ever so slightly, just enough to keep it fun without turning into a "Scary Movie" borefest.

Yep, I LOVE this movie!!! :yay:

This is a good flick. It's fan fiction that works.

Completely awesome.

Fulci wrote this as a direct sequel to Dawn of the Dead. Oh, wait...

Can we not swear on this forum anymore please? You're ruining it for everybody and just proving you don't know how to use your words.

I've seen this movie about three times and have generally enjoyed it with each viewing, but I gotta be honest, it's extremely forgettable. Even now, I don't remember much about it except for the zombie getting skewered on the metal pipe (which you can see in Scream 4) and the heroes acting like zombies in the middle of the street. It's recommended, but I wouldn't ever purchase it.

Would you say you were generally a fan or generally not a fan of the actors in the film?

Does Horror DNA get money for the site every time we use the word generally?
