Diary of the Dead: Trailer

Finally…


More at the film’s myspace page. I actually have a script for a shot zombie horror that would work for this. Hmmmm.



Zombie Food Pyramid

Unsure if the above chart is accurate. It is amusing though.

 

Blatantly stolen from geekstir.*** who I’m sure stole it from somewhere else just without giving props to the author. Bad form. No link for you.



Sometimes awful is good…

It’s true. Sometimes awful can be good. O.K. Maybe not good, but fun.

A few months ago my buddy Wes came over for a movie night and brought me a gem of a polished turd in the form of a DVD titled ‘Hard Rock Zombies‘.

This travesty was released in 1985 so one can pretty much guess (and correctly) that the hair, make-up and wardobe are going to be horrendous. The music, cinematography, writing, acting, direction and anything else isn’t much better.
The name ‘Hard Rock’ is rather misleading. This band’s music is as hard as Culture Club. Although the actors who play the band members do look like rejects from a Narcotics Anonymous meeting. That said they’re still quite pansy-fied. These are the type of guys my friends and I would have thumped outside the mall in 1985.

Here’s a clip you’ll never be able to extract from your brain:

That was gay and no I’m not a homophobe…

Other than the things mentioned above what are a few of the things that make this movie worth watching a worth avoiding all at the same time?

  • Midgets. And yes, midget zombies. And, yes, midget nazi zombies.
  • Hitler and the Californian Fourth Reich
  • A nazi zombie eats himself.
  • Zombies afraid of Elvis.

Sounds horrid right? Yep. But it’s a must see.

Here’s another clip:

Ooh! Aah! Fantastic.Check out a more complete review at badmovies.org.Thanks again Wes. You rock.
