Review – The Zombie Chronicles

Wow. And I thought I was a talentless video producer. Judging by the technical quality of this outing, the folks who made this usually confine the damage they do to iron oxide to the creation of low-budget, shot-on-video pornography. That isn’t to say that there’s much sex in this production, just that it has that same cheap aesthetic without the actual smut. The box boasts three tales of zombie mayhem, though actually – mercifully – it’s only two plus a bracket. The only highlight of any of the stories is that they loosely follow a bargain-basement version of the morality found in EC comics, and the comics’ strong suit was never exactly their moral values. For at least a little while (especially during the brief introduction) the show’s so cheap and terrible that it’s almost funny. But the joke wears out swiftly, leaving little save boredom in its wake. Wish I’d skipped it
