The movie is pretty cheesy and fun to watch. its about a pack of zombies that come out of a cursed tv and start killing people in suburbia. One thing I like about the film is the zombies, who all get their unique characters and personalities. There is a charred bald zombie, a rotting bride, a pink zombie, and a fat zombie who has an iron in his head.The kills are creepy and fun at the same time. I especially love the scene when the chubby zombie stealthily sneaks up behind an equally chubby Asian housekeeper and then lets out excited bellowing growls as he starts choking her. He is also not shy to show her he is enjoying killing her, as he continuously giggles and smiles while nodding "yes die" at her agony and her pleas for him to stop. After choking her dead, he seems proud of his merciless kill. The scene freaked me out as a kid. Thus, the zombies kill for pure fun and games. Another scene sees the bride strangle a housewife and stuffing her into a washing machine. After a few more kills, the heroes venture into the woods but also get killed by a chainsaw-wielding zombie. They later have a dinner party!The zombies make the best characters in the film. Human characters are paper thin and just there to be killed by the zombies. You have a bickering brother and sister waiting for the arrival of their parents. You have the blond next door neighbor who seems sliughty daft. You have her skinny little father who is getting sexual favors from the chubby maid. And then their neighbors who just all die as soon as we meet them An odd little horror, but worth watching for sure.

This movie was only three years old when I first watched it. I laughed at then. I mean, really laughed out loud. The entire movie is made with such low cost, piss poor production, and yet it delivers the goods as well. What goods may we be discussing here? Well. None of the zombies in the film are exactly frightening, however, The Video Dead passes with flying colors in my book. In order to film a great zombie movie, you need two things: at least one really good gross out scene, and you absolutely need to have the * CHAINSAW* !! Check, and check. Bad acting. Lousy script. Porn music. 70's looking production. You are all forgiven. They knew, when filming The Video Dead, that this was not going to be a blockbuster. That's sort of the idea of sending it direct to video. ( Heh heh, get the pun? Oh, forget you!) The Video Dead, simply put, was designed to go for the next big thing: a cult following. So what you are going to see, if you decide to proceed with caution, is at least three great looking zombies ( giggles), three great kills ( giggles even more), and a lot of B rated dark humor. The zombies, for example, thinks its funny to discard a body into the washing machine, legs up, and turn it on. The plot is basic: a TV is sent to the wrong address, turned on, and the undead cast of an old zombie movie is emerging through the TV screen, entering the real world to perform some...real kills. Due to the fact that this movie looked cheesy even then, I seriously doubt this has aged well. If you can't overlook piss poor production, this won't be for you. The movie leans a little more on the gore hounds side. By that, strongly warn you, there is a scene where a zombie is cut in half by a chainsaw, and the aftermath? I almost vomit. Joke you not. However, those are the rules....you need a good gross out scene, and you need the chainsaw. If you are looking for a great humorous, zombie flick, I steer you away from this, and please check out Zombieland if you haven't already seen this title. MY GOD! I'm still laughing after all these years.

Slow moving and featuring WAAAAAY too many fade to black shots, this movie has okay effects, but the plot is just sort of there without any real meat, and the zombies follow a set of rules where they can't be killed unless the are locked in a room to eat each other and if you act unafraid, they can't hurt you. Sure seemed like the writers were just making it all up on the fly. Nothing of much note here.

Thẻ Video Dead is not a terrible horror movie but it indeed one of the worst zombie movie from the late 80s.I mean with a plot about killer zombie came out of a T.V how can it go wrong?The definition of zombie in this movie is the most bizarre i ever see.They don't eat flesh of the living they kill like a slasher villain and acting like a vampire with mirror.They hard to kill even if you hit them in the head in pact the only way to get rid of them is you must treat them like a human and let them eat themselves to dead.I'm very disappointed with this movie and i'm pretty sure any zombie fan out there will thinking the same.It not complete unwatchable there still some good zombie make up and the practical effect but if you looking for a good zombie movie it not here sorry
