With HELL OF THE LIVING DEAD making its debut on Blu-ray, there's no better time to consider the shittier points of zombie cinema. Stock footage? Oatmeal zombies? Dwarfs suckling their mothers? Zombie sex? Uwe Boll? Which bad zombie movie is your favorite?
I went with Killing Birds, which is a huge guilty pleasure of mine. In fact, it's my favorite of the Zombi series, including Fulci's overrated original. Even though it's not included, I'll give an honorable mention to Bill Hinzman's FleshEater. So bad, yet so good!
Bio-Zombie as a best worst? I like that film, and think its a solid entry in the comedy-horror genre, not much "worst" about it. Now Bio-Cops is just plain worst.
Got to be Burial Ground for me. Wonderful zombie movie with great atmosphere and zombies but to be honest abit crap really.
It would have got my vote too, but I can't consider anything about ROTLD 2 bad so, to me, it shouldn't even be on the poll.
Yeah I'm kind of confused about this poll. While there are certainly bad films on the list, I wouldn't label ROTLD Part II as one of the "worst", not even something like THE VIDEO DEAD can hold that title compared to some of these other stinkers. I mean there's enjoyably bad zombie flicks like BURIAL GROUND, NIGHTMARE CITY, HELL OF THE LIVING DEAD, ZOMBI 3, etc. But absolute shit such as OASIS OF THE ZOMBIES which has like zero redeeming qualities pales in comparison to the rest. Then there's a small step up from that with ZOMBIE LAKE which only redeeming quality for some is the gratuitous nudity, following that would be ROTLD: NECROPOLIS which only manages to be watchable due to its sheer ridiculousness. It's such a mismatched poll in my opinion, some of these wouldn't qualify as the worst to me - bad, certainly, but far from the worst.
Hell of the Living Dead for me. ROTLD II is a good movie to me so I didn't want to vote and possibly hurt its feelings.
I voted Redneck Zombies. I own this, Zombie 3, 4, and 5, Video Dead on Blu-Ray, Burial Ground, Zombie Lake, Return Of The Living Dead 2, Nightmare City on Blu-Ray, and Hell Of The Living Dead. I actually love ROTLD 2 and it shouldn't be on the poll at all imo. The Necropolis one does deserve to be on here.
Reminder: A good / bad or best / worst movie is a 1.) very bad movie that is 2.) nonetheless entertaining to watch. RotLD Part II belongs on this list. My vote goes to Burial Ground. Tit bit off by a breastfeeding man-child? Nothing is as hilariously WTF? as that.
