This poll has probably been done in the past and if so, I'm resurrecting it. Since I joined HPotD I have heard a lot of people criticising bad zombie movies and it seems a top 3 has emerged. Quite a simple one really, what's the worst zombie movie of all time? What movie deserves the brown Oscar?

Haven't seen Contagium, and it looks like I should be thankful. Unfortunately, I have seen Children of the Living Dead, and it's reputation for ineptitude is richly deserved. Total doo doo ca-ca.

lol yeah, it's on tonight, ill probably watch it!

COTD by far. total crap, and i'll watch anything - i've seen "redneck zombies" about 10 times. although the opening bit with savini is almost excellent.

i saw a movie called "king of the zombies" about zombies being used in the great war that was pretty bad.

redneck zombies wasnt that bad till the bit were the black guy went all "extra red guy taken to the surface by kirk in the origional star trek" type wacko. then it all whent to ****, with a pisspoor ending, but before that the hillbilly bits were funny ,and that salesman who i belive starred in resident evil 4 was creepy as hell:p

I remember renting a film in Uni that had potential. It just dragged and dragged, I cant remember what it was called but it started to get good when the Zombies attacked, and then just when that happened the FILM FINISHED!!! I was well suprised.

that girl with the red hair has a fantastic arse.
there's a redeeming feature!

plus i like the way it's a horror film that uses punks & nerds as opposed to the usual preps/jocks. very cheesy though, can respect your dislike for it.

I am sad you put children of the dead on the list but i had to vote for it for i have not seen the other two. I think the first 10 minutes of th emovie was great and from there on it went downhill fast. You should have included Hell of the Living Dead.

Has anyone else here seen this early 80's film? It was released on VHS back in the 80's, and has since faded into well-deserved obscurity. Still, of the dozens of zombie films I've seen (more of them bad than good, as we all know) it sticks in my mind for it's sheer incompetence and amateurishness on all conceivable levels. Bad acting, bad screenplay, poor sound and lighting. Someone else who has shared the experience please add your 2 cents.

I am sad you put children of the dead on the list but i had to vote for it for i have not seen the other two.

It had to go up there I'm afraid. After traipsing the forums and talking with peeps on chat, it was pretty obvious a top 3 was forming. I would rather have put Raiders Of The Damned up there instead of Children but I don't think Raiders takes itself too seriously enough to be included. Zombi 5 was also another contender.

No one has talked about the attrocity that is Zombie Lake? It's frightening to know how bad it is.

Maybe people don't want to talk about that turd sandwich. Perhaps it's best left as it is. Although I gotta say I'm quite amazed that Zombie Lake has so few votes, I thought it would be right up there with Craptagium!

I chose Contagium cuz even though I have not seen the other two, any movie that anyone puts out attached to GAR that is this bad is automatically 10x as bad!

I haven't seen either one of those three films. But I'll take everyone's word for it. Worst I have seen was Zombi 3. Not even a bag of dro could help me enjoy that movie.

DjfunkmasterG

11-Dec-2006, 04:32 PM

I didn't get to vote :(

However, I will add my 2 cents. Although in my opinion LAND was bad, it in no way can be compared or put on a list with Contagium, Zombie Lake and Children of the Living Dead.

Someone mentioned Hell of the Living Dead aka Virus aka Night of the Zombies. Although not great at least it had a coherent story. The films on that list neither had a coherent story or were in anyway entertaining. I was surprised however that House of the Dead was not on that list.

Jesus Christ, has no-one ever seen filmmaking disaster "Curse of the Maya" - dubbed "Night of the Living Dead" here in the UK, a shocking marketing gimmick if you ask me - it is a truly woeful film, I mean I only enjoyed it because I could laugh wholeheartedly at it. Find and watch this gem if you can, it really is the lowest grade of film. (And yes, it is a zombie film of sorts...but it is muddled and pathetic)

Those zombie movies are bad but they're certainly not the worst.

Eveyone's knocking on contaguim... yeah it sucked, but for me mostly because it had the DAYoftheDEAD2 header. Now that is bull****! BUT... it did have some halfway decent acting.

The worst acted movie for me would have to be the Dead Next Door, and all around ****tiest is of course the classic Return of The Living Dead.

I may have been gone for almost six years but we all still wish horrible torturous pain on that asshole John Russo, right?

The Return of the Living Dead is a classic. Dan O'Bannon truely delivered one of the finest non-Romero zombie films to date with it.

Damn straight.

the second one was allright too, but not soemthing serious though, but still not the worst zombie film by any means.

The chemistry between Frank, Burt and Freddy makes the movie a rare gem in a stagnant genre.
I dont think its a classic, but its funny as hell and entertaining. Its a real nice slice of 80s style horro like Night of the Creeps (which I like waaay better).
Maybe it is a kind of classic cause you're right about the chemistry. Frank (The mortitan?) is great.

I really hate that it introduced that annoying Brains crap. I hated it back in the day and I hate it now.

Though there is no way that is is one of the worst zombie movies.

I think COTLD is one the worst period. I also think I am alone is thinking Savini is not exactly gifted in the acting department, to be very kind.

Though back in the day ROTLD was like Dawn 04 in that you would have to say "the shoppingmall one" not the brains one.
Everytime you would expound on your love fot the classic, layered and sublime DOTD someone would say "you mean Braiiiiiins?, you love THAT?!?!"

Now it's "No, the old DOTD"

Thank You Guys On Thinking Return Is Somewhat Of A Classic!:)

I Just Cant Get Over How Shiiitty The Last Three Parts Were I Barely Dug The 2nd One,now We Just Need To School Bassman On That!

,and Your Right Coma Savini Sucks Big Sweaty Balls In Acting!:d

I Dont Get It He's Gifted In So Many Departments But Some How Is Missing The Acting Gene!:(
The 3nd ROTLD was a remake of the first, which was wierd.

So I am not alone in my non Savini hero worship. Apparently he's not very gifted in Social skills either. According to a lot of people, he is a total hard on in person. Though I would like to see another GAR zombie film with his effects.
He's like the schlock Tom Cruise. He always plays the same guy, right down to his clothes.

I have talked to Savini at quite a few conventions and he has always been a very cool person, never a jerk or anything of the sort. I have heard people say he is all of that and more, but in my own experiances with the man he has been extremely cool.

Anyway, my vote for worst zombie movie is House of the Dead 2. From the plot to the special effects (if you can call them that) it is a horrible attempt at a movie.

Thats good to hear about Savini. I have heard nice things, but I have heard a lot of those smug and snotty stories too.

I couldnt make it through House if the Dead. Are you a masochist?:D
