Favourite line:"You want me to throw a TV at them?!"

Just so you know, this movie rated 3.3 out of 10 on IMDB at the time of writing, confirming once and for all that the people who rate movies on that site are utter, utter fuckwits.
I mean, please, these ballsuckers probably watched this movie and actually took it seriously.
I imagine they were comparing it to the Romero movies with their fucking tick-sheets and ball point pens in hand, tutting at the appalling acting and massively dodgy production.
Coincidentally, I also imagine they have never had a single creative, imaginative thought in their sorry, sorry lives and wouldn't be able to conceive of a movie plotline or write a note of fucking music if you dangled them off the edge of the Eiffel Tower, holding them only by the smaller of their testicles.
Twats.
Produced by the legendary Full Moon Features, this is essentially a homage to all things Fulci, with many references to the great man throughout.
A bunch of dweebs are shooting a low budget horror movie in a basement when they accidentally open a portal to some kind of Netherworld, a place where the dead are animate and whose sole purpose is to kill anyone who is alive, thus rendering them undead....if you see what I mean.
Cue lots of gore, some excellent make-up work for the monsters and so many implausibilities you could shake a really big stick at it and nobody would notice.
Yes, it's clunky in the extreme but it is also a riotously amusing horror fest that should keep most zombie fan boys happy.
I liked it.
So fuck you.
