For those of us who have actually seen this movie, it's almost a cult classic. If you enjoyed the Hudson Brothers on their 70's tv show, this is even better. Full of jokes that become funnier every time you see it, and an unbelievable cast! My husband, parents, siblings, and now nieces and nephews, watch this movie EVERY year at Thanksgiving--an odd tradition, maybe, but we LOVE this movie! If you don't see it for yourself, YOU'RE DOOMED!

Oh Man! I've been waiting for so long for this movie to show up on DVD. I'm a self-professed lover of "stupid movies"- and this one has to top the list. It is over-the-edge bizarre and totally silly, but you just can't help but laugh. I would think this movie scores high among the 12-15 age range scoping out all of the dirty subtext. And,this movie captures such an excellent atmosphere- I think it's visually perfect - including the sets (lighthouse on a cliff- creepy small town) - and the makeup for the "what difference" zombies. Top notch-

This is beyond a doubt one of the most addictive movies of all time!!Like most of the reviews I've read, I too watched this movie as a kid. I remember our copy being recorded off of HBO and we wore it out. I rent this movie, from the one BLOCKBUSTER in town that carries it, at least once a year. It amazes me when I ask people about this movie and they have never seen it. To this day my family still quotes this movie. "he wants to know where the old light house is!" I think it's "hysterical" to look back at the things in the movie I laughed at as a child. I don't even know why it was funny to me then because alot of the humor is based more towards adults. I laugh at my own naivite, but it's good to know that you can watch it in front of the kids without much worrying. When you watch this movie for the first time watch it begining to end. You will be amazed at the non-stop humor pouring from every second of it!!

While the movie it self is a classic the DVD leaves much to be desired. I was disapointed to find that the DVD was in full screen as opposed to the wide screen I prefer. It also received no treatment whatsoever on the transfer. The titles are shakey as well as the picture. If i had to guess they transfered right from a video tape found at a local video store. If i had it to over again I would have stuck to my copy on VHS and spent my money on something else.

I saw this movie when it first came out when I was a teenager and I never laughed so hard. I must have watched it over and over on video until the tape was no good and it had to be thrown out. I was never able to get another copy again and I don't know why it is hard to find in many video stores, even the ones that carry old movies. It is a great movie for all crowds and I cannot explain how great this movie is because I think you should watch it and then know for yourself.

Like parodies?

Great lines that stick in your head?

So many laughs you'll be sore for hours?

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE!!

This is a funny, funny movie that parodies quite a few hit movies... from Indiana Jones to Amytville (spelling? - can't remember). And lines that stick in your head for years, everytime you think of them will make you smile, and laugh all over again. All that and it's a musical too!

This movie is so stupid it is just like the name "Hysterical"

OH MY GOD! I have been trying to find this movie for YEARS! My husband cannot believe that I'm fanatical for this movie. Tried to explain it, but if they haven't seen it, they won't realize the value of this movie. My brother and I used to watch this all the time and we would laugh hysterically! Loved the Hudson Brothers' Show, so this movie was just the perfect venue for them.

IF you want a great parody movie that just sticks in your mind FOREVER (All work and no play makes Caper a friendly ghost- and it's been at least 15 years since I've seen it), then this is the movie for you. A cult classic!

My best friend in high school, who unfortunately is no longer with us, hooked me onto this picture. I had forgotten about it until it somehow popped into my head. This movie has great one-liners ("Quick, take my picture!"), and although I haven't seen this movie in almost 20 years, I will buy it on DVD just to re-live the memories of great fun with a good friend. This one is for you, James!

Saw this when i was a kid, still makes me chuckle now when i think of it. Like that crazy guy on the bike shouting

"WERE ALL DOOMED !!"

and then he crashes. One of the Hudson brothers, his eyebrows keep growing when he tells lies, and many more stupid little things i found amuzing.

I am after a copy of this on VHS or R2 DVD. Anyone know where i can get a copy in the UK ?

I saw this movie many years ago on HBO and thought it was a riot! This is a very silly movie that won't appeal to everyone. However, if you like movies that are 'so bad, it's good' then give this a try. C'mon, what other movies have apathetic zombies?
