Death House (1988)
Lame - NOT a zombie a movie!
Let me start by saying that I'm a huge fan of fun, bad cheezy movies, and I'm a HUGE fan of zombie movies. This movie was neither fun or a zombie movie. "Zombie Death House" is a completely inaccurate name. This is definitely NOT a zombie movie. It's a really bad mob/CIA/Vietnam movie, but zombies don't even show until about 40min in, no gore until about 45min, and even then it's over quick. At the start we have a bit of TnA, there' some weak Mafia undertones, we have a VERY weak Vietnam veteran flashback type of thing, and it takes place in a prison. This is REALLY a bad movie. There's a bit of homosexual "I was a Mafia big-shot, but I'm in prison so I'm gay now, and this guy is my lover and he can't die" nonsense; I'm not homophobic at all, but this is just stupid. Out of no-where, there's our "hero" trying to figure out who has the zombie virus, and this is like the first time that ANY type of virus has entered the story. By far, this is one of the WORST FILMS EVER! If it had not been labeled as a zombie movie, the movie would still be REALLY bad, but not THIS bad. This is NOT a zombie movie, it's NOT even a bad prison movie, it's NOT a bad mafia movie... it is just a really bad movie. Oh - right near the end, a kid shows up on a skateboard that we've never seen before and he goes skating thru the scene, and suddenly he's there and he's presented like we're supposed to care about him.. lame. Avoid this movie - even if it's free, AVOID IT!!! It is a study in bad movie making.
Curse of the Headless Horseman (1972)
Yes, it's a really bad move....
It's bad alright, but not >that< bad. The editing is really bad, the acting really bad, the sound "effects" and visual "effects" are really bad, but, personally, this all adds up to a really move that ends up being >somewhat< watchable in its badness. Don't get me wrong, the movie sucks, big time. Do NOT pay even a dime to watch it! It came on late-nite TV locally, and I HAD to watch it after reading the reviews here. So, if it it comes on TV, give it a shot -you can always change the channel- but do NOT spend any money on renting/buying this movie!! BTW- does anyone know where this was filmed? I'm sure in S.Cal somewhere, but it looks like a few different spots where I've hung out before (in my mis-spent youth), plus it looks like it was filmed next to a somewhat major road or minor highway....
