Bad zombie movies

[Menard]

Now do we have degrees on this? After all, with zombie movies from the classic period they can range from bad:

Zombie Lake
Zombie 4: After Death (I did like the opening song though)


To so god awful they should burn any extant prints:

Oasis of the Zombies
FleshEater/Revenge of the Living Zombies


Nightmare City/City of the Walking Dead falls somewhere in between those and I would be satisfied with a compromise if we just burn Umberto Lenzi.

Did anybody mention "Day of the dead 2: Contagium" ? It's something that makes you wanna burn your retinas after the vision.

Curse of the Screaming Dead (1982)



Renamed Curse of the Cannibal Confederates after Troma got a hold of it.



Hell of the Living Dead (1980) but this one is actually so-bad-so-good.

There was a really awful one that I watched a couple years back and even posted a review of on here, but the title has utterly slipped my mind at the moment.

I am going to agree with you about how awful that film is.  I'm still uncertain why I didn't rank it as a skull.

Also want to offer up both "Zombie Night" and "The Alien Dead" as awful zombie movies.  "Zombie Night" is an independent film that suffers so badly from editing there were multiple times that I didn't understand what was going on.  Heck, once it appears that the characters were surprised that someone was missing, but I never knew the missing person was supposed to be present in the first place.

"The Alien Dead" is only slightly better.  A bunch of zombies infest a swamp and wander around eating people.  During one of the scenes with a hapless person being munched one of the zombies keeps staring at the camera.

Love that film!

I love Hell of the Living Dead. Definitely one of my favorite Italian Zombie movies.

A BAD one as is REALLY FREAKING bad. Would have to be Zombi 5 Killing Birds. Its belongs to the "Movie where nothing happens until the last 20 minutes" Genre.

Another zombie movie that falls into that category is Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things.  It might be lacking on the "anything happening" aspects, but it sure hits home in the "horrible 70s fashion" category.

Awww, come on man! CSPWDT looks like a cinematic masterpiece compared to the ones that have been listed so far....how about I Eat Your Skin (1964)?

[Psycho Circus]

Oh, now that is truly awful.

Duuuude! How can you knock Umberto Lenzi? I like him a lot more than, say, Jess Franco, that's fer damn sure.

Zombie 90: Extreme Pestilence. Badly filmed, badly acted and hilariously dubbed! Gore scenes are pathetic and the plot is dull and by-the-numbers.

DON'T BLEED!

As Romero zombie movies go, Survival of the Dead was pretty lame.

I did not see it, but the reception of Zombie Nation (2004) was overwhelming negative.

It wasn't so much a story about zombies or nazi gold as it was a story about a young man finding himself ;-)
