Revenge of the Living Zombies

(1989)

Honestly, I can't tell if this piece of crap wrapped in a plastic case is a parody or just a tired rip-off of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. Either way it's just a failure in my book (which happens to be the Necronomicon). The whole crap-fest starts when a group of dumbass redneck (are there any other kind?) teens go on an adventure filled Halloween hayride (if only you could hear my sarcasm). Elsewhere, while another redneck does some action packed stump pullin' (again, MUCHO sarcasm here), he uncovers a casket with some cornball warning/curse stamped on it. When he opens the thing, he releases (obviously) a zombie. The thing kills him, then goes on a backwoods rampage of ZOMBIES' LAKE proportions (that's bad)! Elsewhere, the teens have paired off to go screw, though it'd be much easier for the zombies if they just had one big orgy. At this point, I can't help but pray to Myself that something awful happens to that Eddie guy... I can't stand that lisp! After the undead one attacks 'em, the "future spouse abusers/abusees of America" escape into a nearby farmhouse (HUGE NoLD rip) where they bicker alot and struggle for leadership (I'm not even gonna waste my breath...). Elsewhere, the terror spreads into town (but not after one of the cast's more gangly members has herself a shower) and the growing number of zombies proves to us that they're not afraid to maul a little girl in an angel costume! There's one cop ("Harv") who forgets he can turn ON his car and ESCAPE the maggot-ridden mob! Still elsewhere, at some barn dance, the other 8 teens in town dress like idiots and get trashed. At least Andy the drunken vampire is funny! Haha! Oh well, after the zombies waste this party too, enter the drunken posse of hicks brandishing firearms and exit the morgue escapees. Yes, the zombies are mowed down with ease as our "heroes" (heroes!? They ran around like pussies the whole time!) hide in an abandoned barn and make plans to get married (how sweet *gag*). But, it wouldn't be a TOTAL NoLD if or hero(es) didn't accidentally get shot when (t)he(y) gets mistaken for zombie(s) too. But, it doesn't end there! Nope, we get treated to an additional 5 minutes of watching a barn burn, which ends when a cop searching through the smoldering rubble gets chomped by the "Flesh Eater" that started it all... wa-fucking-hoo. The only real horror involved in this movie was some disturbingly terrible acting, especially by... EVERYONE!
