This is my first review I've ever done. So please hang in there I know I suck but I will get better I hope.
Review By Wes Verner aka Wez4555
This is a mini review for Garden of the Dead. Garden of the Dead is about some prison imitates that always get high on formaldehyde. Then later in the movie some of them try to escape the prison camp and end up getting shot to death. Then they are buried and come back to life to kill everything living in the camp.
What to say about this movie…hmm well first of all IT SUCKS ASS! There is nothing good about it. On the back of the cover it says not for the faint of heart. Also it says “weed wacker massacre” and something like “death by a garden hoe”. Well I saw none of these things. I know it’s meant to be a B movie but it sucks at that to. There’s no nudity, hardly any blood, and its not even funny. The story is completely stupid and the acting is horrible. Stay away far away!
Image: It appears to be in 1.66:1 Widescreen. I doubt that was the way this was shot so it’s probably matted. Anyway the picture is between bad and terrible. Now I know a movie this old and this low budget isn’t going to look shocking but this does look bad. There’s scratches and dirt and holes everywhere. Toward the middle of the movie it gets better but the whole movie has a washed out faded look to it.
Audio: Well I don’t have sound system and it was like 1am when I watched this but I bet the movie is in mono. Doesn’t matter anyway cause it doesn’t sound very good. A few areas there’s popping but not as bad as the image department.
Extras: Nothing really. It is only about $10 at best buy, so I didn’t expect much. You get an intro by some fool that tells you that your probably going to put your foot threw the screen before this movie is over. Then he says that would hurt your foot so he has someone throw a bowling ball threw a TV. Sure its stupid but he was right and should of takin his word for it. The only other thing is a trailer. I figured it would be a trailer to this movie but then when you choose it and message shows that its not for this movie but for another movie called Grave of the Vampire. The trailer is boring and it looks like complete crap. There’s thick red grain threw the whole thing…yes I said red grain. It pops and jumps and is horrible. Some real crappy extras to a crappy movie.
Final Thoughts: Don’t waste your money on this shit. This is my first retro media disc and I wasn’t pleased with it. The back cover made it sound good but it ends up sucking big time. Inless for some reason you’re a fan of this movie, stay far away. I got one to called the Brides Wore Blood. Hopefully it’s better. I'll post a review for that later.
