The Video Dead- One of my favourite zombie films. Watching this film is a huge nostalgia trip for me. First watched this film in the early ninties, rented from my local video store. At probably 11 or 12 years old I was young enough to ignore things like bad acting, continuity or production quality and able to just revel in the fact I was watching a film with zombies (pretty good special effects), chainsaws and copious amounts of blood. It's fair to say I am completley bias when judging this movie, but it doesn't change the fact that I love it. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it, but in an era dominated by formulaic slashers The Video Dead definatley qualifies as something different. Would love to see this film get a DvD release. If you hadn't worked out what its about by the title, its about a bunch of zombies coming out of an evil TV set to cause some trouble....
