Worst Zombie Film You've Ever Seen?

[Doc Foster]

I know there are a lot of dogs out there when it comes to zombie films, but this 1980 Italian crap pile called "Night Of The Zombies" (which I believe also had a variety of other titles in the US) to me is the ultimate bomb. Bad acting, bad make-up effects, bad stock footage of jungle animals, bad everything - oh yeah, and parts of the soundtrack were stolen from "Dawn"!! What a stinker...

Garden of the Dead - 1974 a sad flick about formaldehyde huffing inmates in some sort of "prison camp" that turn into zombies.

Zombi 3. I'm glad I wasn't sober when I watched it, but then again that couldn't save this piece of sh!t.

"Contagium" (you know, the one that raped the good name of the Day of the Dead). Although, it's classification as a 'zombie' film or indeed a 'film' are questionnable. Even Zombi 4 (I actually kinda liked Zombi 3 and all it's cheesy crapness) was better than Contagium by a million miles. A steaming pile of turd would be better.

Children of the Living Dead/NOTLD 30th anniversary/Contagium/House of the Dead. All equally bad, and are an insult to the genre. I could sit through anything else.

Hell of the Living Dead (aka Night of the Zombies) is a cheeze classic. Everything you mention in your post is what makes the movie a cult classic By far the worst are (in no particular order, they are all as bas as can be) Zombi 3 Zombi 4 House of the Dead (part two was actually pretty cool) Children of the Living Dead Contagium (this is the only one of the bunh that I couldn't finish, so it must be the worst)

Don't give anything away,...but, it's worth watching and I wont have to be hospitalized for a nervous breakdown after viewing?? grrrrrrrrr Contagium and those damned floaty/alien/butterfly things! The flashbacks!!!!!! aarrrrgggghhh!!!!

The beginning is a little slow and features some uninspired acting by Sid Haig, but once the ball gets rolling it is actually a decent zombie flick with a some good scares mixed in.

city of the living dead, with the oatmeal-faced zombies, that run & use weapons hell of the living dead could have been better, if you take the national geographic footage out as well as the dawn music rip off it had some decent gore iirc, been a while since i watched the DVD of it

[Mike70]

how about the video dead or any of those fulci and italian fulci knock offs. yuck. horrible. no wait - children of the living dead. there is some time i would like to recapture. also the so-called 30th anniversary editon of NOTLD with the added footage is a travesty and every single copy of it should be gathered together, burned and the ashes shot into outerspace.

I think Doc hit it right in the initial post--"Night of the Zombies" has got to be the worst. It put me off on ALL Italian horror from then on.....

[Adrenochrome]

check this out - a scene from a terrible flick called The Video Dead - 1987 click me EDIT - Ah, I see scipio70 beat me to it....ooops.....well, here's a short scene from it I think Doc hit it right in the initial post--"Night of the Zombies" has got to be the worst. It put me off on ALL Italian horror from then on..... **Shudders** - I forgot about this thing (I'd seen it under another title). Althought, it DID give us this hilariously translated line - click

I missed ROTLD 4 and 5 so I can't really see what you're comparing it to, but I'll give it a viewing sometime. I mean, it can't be worse than Zombi 5, Children of the Living Dead, and House of the Dead.

House of the dead 2 * shudders * I personally thought it made the first one almost viewable.
