Raiodesol S The weirdness of the idea can be a letdown, also this movie doesn't seem like it was professionally shot. But it can be effective towards the end, because of its weirdness. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/07/23 Full Review Lexxy D Cheap and cheesy but strangely entertaining if you are in the right mood for some B movie schlock. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/25/23 Full Review Chad G This forgotten low-budget horror flick from the 80s video store era is truly something else. What sets this movie apart from others is its unique premise - zombies that enter the real world through a TV set. While we don't see them feasting on humans, the creative ways in which they kill people are enough to keep us on edge. The film even features a surprisingly sophisticated zombie dinner party. It's highly entertaining, and its eye-catching poster speaks volumes. The zombie effects and gore are impressively well-done, especially for a low-budget production. Plus, the film is peppered with nods to the classic horror movie Texas Chainsaw Massacre.That being said, there are times when the film drags on and feels like it's struggling to fill its 90-minute runtime. Trimming it down to a shorter length would have helped. Additionally, the absurd ways in which the zombies are dispatched - by showing them their own reflections, making them believe they dead, and extreme claustrophobia - are so outrageous that they kind of make sense. Also, apparently they cant be buried, but have to be reclaimed by the earth. Despite its flaws, The Video Dead is a unique and memorable horror flick that's definitely worth checking out. Fans of the genre will find plenty to appreciate, and the film's quirks make it an enjoyable watch for anyone in the mood for some mindless fun.

Little did I know this is a comedy horror (but I'm not sure if they intentionally made it comedic or if it was unintentional). At first I didn't like it, but the further I watched, the more I enjoyed it.

It's impressive how much they accomplished with soo little, but it's probably not worth the time. The opening, with Zombies emerging from the TV is pretty effective and looks cool, but after that it's all downhill...
