Review – Night of the Dead

Gore just isn’t enough anymore, assuming that it was ever self-sufficient to begin with. This picture is further proof, as if any were really necessary. There’s a plot in here someplace, but honestly the story and characters aren’t much more than an excuse to keep the cherry Kool-ade flowing and provide an excuse for an occasional boob shot. The mad-scientist-bringing-the-dead-back-to-life-with-a-serum-that-produces-disasterous-results must have been what prompted all the DVD box references to Re-Animator. Otherwise all the two productions have in common is a devotion to cheap thrills (even cheaper here than in the earlier “classic” of exploitation horror). Wish I’d skipped it
