Bruce K Pass. Just pass on this. Nothing redeeming about this flick. John Saxon starred and directed this bore. Hopefully this was his first and last attempt at directing. Sorry bout that John! Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/18/22 Full Review Audience Member A mob driver gets framed for murder after he messes around with the bosses lady. In prison, he leads a riot during a deadly viral outbreak. Luckily, a hot television reporter on the scene is also a talented biochemist and produces an antidote. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Directed by and starring John (Enter the Dragon, Tenebre, A Nightmare on Elm Street), Saxon, Zombie Death House is a confused and bizarre film that wants to partly be a prison break/gang flim and partly a horror/zombie film. Overall, it just simply doesn't work. Funny, perhaps...little more can be said about Zombie Death House other than it is a cheesy, late 80s hybrid of horror and action cinema. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Actor John Saxon graduated to the rank of director with this grisly splatter-gore, exploitation horror movie mash-up ZOMBIE DEATH HOUSE about a virus that turns death row inmates into ravenous, flesh-eating fiends. Dennis Cole stars as Vietnam veteran Derek Keillor, a driver for mafioso Vic Moretti (Anthony Franciosa), who has him framed for the murder of his girlfriend and then sent to Death Row. Actually, the jealous Moretti drowned his girlfriend Genelle Davis (Dana Lis) in his own bathtub because he discovered that she was having an affair with Derek. Anyway, after Derek is shipped up the river to Townsend State Prison, he finds himself in real trouble when Colonel Burgess (John Saxon) gives the prison medical staff the green light to administer a genetically altered version of a virus called HV8B. Saxon knows a little about horror movies since he starred in the cannibal classic CANNIBAL APOCALYPSE, the seminal 1974 slasher flick BLACK CHRISTMAS and Dario Argento's TENEBRE. This is good, ghoulish, gory fun. Of course, like all standard-issue zombie movies, the horror continues, even after most of the zombies have been blown up. Gorehounds will enjoy this creepy, profane nonsense. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Drugs turn inmates into zombified maniacs. Jail-cell terror directed by John Saxon. Solid production, not always thrilling execution. Lots of 80s cheese though. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member This plot makes no sense I had no idea what the hell was going on the whole movie.
