I cant remember who suggested I do a marathon of Zombie films but I decided to take their advice. Ive done many zombie film marathons before, but this time I'm doing something a little different.Usually I would arrange them to form one big zombie story, this time Ill be watching a variety of zombie flicks, some of them great, others not so great.
The bloody awful List:
1. Dawn of the Dead (the good)
2. Hard Rock Zombies (the bad)
3. Zombi3 (the crappy)
4. The Return of the Living Dead (the good)
5. Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things (the bad)
6. Zombi4 (the crappy)
7. Night of the Creeps (the good)
8. Demons 2 (the bad)
9. Revolt of the Zombies (the crappy)

DAWN OF THE DEAD
Just started watching what I'm sure most of you will agree is the greatest zombie movie ever made. Dawn contains one of the best head explosions this side of Scanners, the head that was used was originally going to be for the fly-girl character. Originally everyone was going to die in the film, she was going to kill herself by putting her head in the helicopter blade. The end was changed and so when they came up with the idea of blowing the guys head off they used it for that.
Look out for the guy who played the lead character in Romero's film Martin, he plays the Hispanic guy with the great line....."Christ theres a thousand pigs" Also look for Balki Bartokomous (Bronson Pinchot) from the series Perfect Strangers, as the camera man.
Dawn of the Dead still remains the only film in the genre to show zombie children being killed.
One of my favorite scenes is when they show the rednecks killing the zombies, love the song thats playing during the scene......
I never treat a woman right...because I'm a man, yes I'm a man
And who can forget when they get to the mall and one of the characters asks...
"What the hell is it"

HARD ROCK ZOMBIES
It was a hard decision to put this under the bad movie category, its actually an awesome movie, I mean its so fucking stupid, its great. A hard working rock group goes across country to play at a show called the Grand Guignol. On the way they pick up an 80s music video vamp and take her to her home, where they are met by her midget brother and his deformed twin, their werewolf grandmother, and their grandfather who just happens to be Hitler.
The film features several really lame montages of the band running around in front of the towns residents, while cheesy music plays in the background, I believe the song is called La la la-la-la. The band is arrested by the sheriff Ted and his two friends, Fred and Red. The lead singer (with his mallet) is befriended by this girl with the thickest eyebrows you ever seen.
The town bans rock and roll and so the band (whatever their name is) cannot play the concert, the singer/bass player has written a song using an incantation to raise the dead which he got from an ancient book. Two of the death scenes are totally ripped off from Psycho and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
All members of the band are killed and the town buries them, luckily before the lead singer dies he gives the bushy eyebrowed girl a tape of the incantation and tells her that if anything should happen to him she should play it. While sitting at his grave she plays the song and the band rise from their graves to get thier revenge.....soon its a battle between Zombie rockers and Nazi Zombies.
