An instant classic made by Germans. Only Europeans can make films of this standard. I would call this an European horror-comedy set in the North America. Most viewers might not understand the subtle humor beneath the horror surface. To my opinion this movie is not a copy of From Dusk till Dawn, to which it is often compared to. This movie reminds me more of Repo Man, only it is better. There is same kind of sublime humor which for most viewers is too difficult to understand. For example the similarity between mad scientist of Repo Man and Psycho Mike of Legion of the Dead is obvious. Maybe as a Finn I understand better German humor than an average American viewer. Truly one of the best and most entertaining films I have ever seen. I give it 10/10.

I lasted 9 minutes before I had to shut it off... The actors and actresses must have been kidnapped from a home for the mentally retarded and then forced at gunpoint to perform in this "film". I swear to you all, several of the actors may have been lobotomized before filming.I hope I never have to sit through a second more of this for the rest of my life. Do not rent this movie. To anyone who has seen it, my condolences. On the bright side, you've suffered through the worst this world had to offer. Congratulations for that much.

This movie was possibly the worst movie I have seen so far. Even in the last 10 minutes of the movie, I found myself wondering who certain random characters were, and what the hell was going on. The acting was less than mediocre, and what about the plot you may ask? What plot?? The humor was certainly not funny. I found myself getting irritated as the movie constantly insulted my intelligence in the form of crap comedy and poor dialogue.I wish I could say there was some sort of redeeming feature in this film...but there isn't. That's 90 minutes of my life that I will never be able to get back again, and $5 from the video store that I could have spent on a film that was entertaining. If I could give it 0/10 I would. Don't even think about seeing this movie.

Ohh my God, I actually went out and bought this film, the whole saying 'don't judge a book by it's cover comes to mind'. The acting alone is terrible, the storyline has more holes in it than Swiss cheese, These two friends set out on a journey and start hitch-hiking being picked up by some SPACE-CAKE who ends up trying to kill them, they manage to escape and end up in a quite sleepy town meeting a beautiful lounge girl in a bar, she turns out to some sort of demon-like thing that wants to live a normal life, the whole town seem to have demonic sense to them, there's some other guy who I think is mean't to be the Devil, he wears a 3/4 length leather jacket and big massive leather biker boots, he's looks like a bad guy in Blade or something, then there's these two brothers who are sent down to earth to kill and then recruit people for 'legion of the dead', they constantly get into awkward situations, one of the brothers manages to get injured by falling objects, moving cars, and finally getting blown up, that was slightly funny, the guy who plays the devil comes down to earth to find his bride(demon like girl)and then there's a big fight in the film between good and evil, apart from that DON'T get this film out, because it is so bad, everything in it is so far fetched that I think the guy who made it must have been taking some sort of drugs, acid or speed maybe, but anyway the bottom line is BAD FILM, BAD ACTING, BAD PLOT, funny in certain bits because your actually laughing at how bad the film is...
