This is one of those cheesy classics from the 70's. I enjoyed it somewhat.
Basically to sum it up...A group of people growing dope get dusted with a chemical meant to kill their crop. They turn into flesh eating zombies and try to kill campers in the same area.
It was alright, it didn't take too long to get to the juicy parts. Although, in my opinion it is NOT worth the Amazon price of 21.00. I'd probably pick it up for 5.00 maximum.

I'm totally happy to have this rarity on DVD, especially since my original VHS of it is worn out beyond belief. But it is certainly NOT worth the price that Amazon is charging for it. For starters, the movie is culled from a VHS source, and a poor VHS source at that. The print is fuzzy and almost out of focus, sound quality goes up and down. Even the artwork is shoddy. The special features are screen grabs from the movie. Why? I don't know.

Like I said, this is a low budget, 16mm zombie feature with lousy direction and even lousier acting...but it's always been a favorite of mine...but just know what you are getting.

From www.worldsgreatestcritic.com's review:

"To start with, [Toxic Zombies] is not a 'cash cow,' nor was this [Chuck McCrann's]...first foray into a larger film career. McCrann was a lawyer, a graduate from both Princeton University and the Yale School of Law, which is impressive to anyone except a Harvard Man (which I'm not... but LSU isn't a bad school either, man). He was also a Senior VP for a legal firm important enough to have offices in the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. Unfortunately, Charles McCrann did indeed show up for work on September 11, 2001, which is why he's no longer with us."

I didn't know this - did anyone else?

Thanks, www.worldsgreatestcritic.com!

I HAVE MANY ZOMBIE MOVIES IN MY COLLECTION... YES ZOMBIE LAKE AND OASIS OF THE ZOMBIES WAS HORRIBLE AND WHEN I SAW THEM I THOUGHT ID NEVER SEE ANYTHING WORSE. WELL HERE IT IS... TOXIC ZOMBIES... I WOULDNT PICK THIS UP IF I SAW IT LAYING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD STILL SHRINK WRAPPED. I PAID $16 FOR THIS TO ADD IT TO MY ZOMBIE COLLECTION. I GUESS I PAID THAT JUST TO SAY I HAVE THIS MOVIE. IT IS SO HORRIBLE, I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT UNDERSTAND HOW ANYONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND CAN SAY THAT THIS WAS ANYTHING BUT A PIECE OF TRASH. THE DIRECTOR MUST HAVE BEEN SPRAYED WITH THOSE TOXINS HIMSELF WHEN HE SHOT THIS... AVOID THIS MOVIE, IT IS TERRIBLE. WORSE THAN ZOMBIE LAKE.

Hell yeah this movie's outlandish... fans of The Forest, Madman, Dont Go in the Woods, and Friday the 13th will love it.
