My Review-

This was an interesting movie, I have always heard about it and that I have watched it for being a cheesy 80s horror movie it was pretty awesome, even though it was kind of short it was still pretty awesome. Some of the effects were pretty awesome for the re-animated corpses' and a times it was a little too cheesy, but that's what made it cool if it was never going to be over the top the movie would have never worked like it did and it was pulled off well. While some of the acting in the movie was shitty other actors did a good job by not overdoing lines or key scenes. It was the over the top cheesy horror that made this movie passable as a good horror movie, it had a good concept from the book it was made from and it was done well by being over the top gross and funny. I read that they're some sequels and maybe I will watch them I am not too sure yet If I should or not. The best part of the movie was Jeffrey Combs since he plays the main character, and he had that really creepy vibe about him already and it just worked all the way until the end of the movie. Well at times I found myself a little grossed out by the blood, and I have no idea why it just happens sometimes but may that was just me. If you love horror movies check this one out, because it is a pretty cool horror flick and still can be watchable in this day and age even though it is a cheesy 80s film.
