4.0 out of 5 stars It's a grab bag of gore, June 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Zombie Bloodbath [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie was far out. It was like an hour and a half of gore with a bit of story thrown in. I could tell the people who actually made this were all big zombie movie fans like me. They took every zombie plot and put them all into this one movie. The gore ranges from normal "eating people" scenes to complex death scenes like a guy getting pulled in half. That looked REAL! Some of the gore scenes went on too long and the acting was bad in spots, but it was still a cool video for 15 bucks.

4.0 out of 5 stars More Gore In Store For Horror Fans, May 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Zombie Bloodbath [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Just finally got the "collector's edition" of this film, after hearing bunches about it. Did it live up to what I had heard? Yes and No. It is a pretty impressive "debut" in scope and vision for director Todd Sheets, but having seen his later films like "Violent New Breed" before this, I was a bit disappointed at his lack of visual flair that he exhibits in all his later films. Still, the film does offer the gore up in huge amounts, the story moves at a brisk pace and the technical aspects are all pretty strong. The quality is sharper and the color seems corrected on this release, and the music has also been improved.

The acting can be pretty good at times, but really bad also, with Jerry Angell, one of the bad guys in Zombie Bloodbath part 2 (he does an outstanding job in that film) putting in a very sad acting debut here. I certainly saw his acting improve between the two. Good acting credit goes to Kasey Rouche, Cathy Metz, Auggie Alvarez and Frank Dunlay (a bit wooden)and worst goes to Chris Harris and Tonia Monahan.

I like how Todd basically put in every zombie movie made, mixed it all up and made this film as a nod to all of them, an homage, a tribute to the films that inspired this one, and I like most of the story. Parts are disjointed and the female gang thing needed to be dropped all together, but it gives it a bit of a bad movie feel, like Switchblade Sisters or Bad Girls Dormatory. I would tell fans of b-movies, low budget gore and zombie movies to give it a shot. There are over 700 zombies in this one, and the fact that they made it during a huge flood (one of the worst in US history it says) is enough for me to say that Todd Sheets did a good job on this one, his first "real" film as he says. His later work is more pro and quite a bit better artistically, but this one shines as an example of what can be done with determination and a love for the genre.

2.0 out of 5 stars Pretty ruff but high gore factor, June 28, 2002

I'm a die hard zombie fan so I had to see this movie and it was pretty goofy but still fun to watch for zombie/gore fans. My main problem with the movie was this: No suspense. Part of this is due to the weak acting (not responding with terror to terrifying situations so hard to believe) but also because of things like groups of zombies just popping up from behind fences like they were playing hid and go seek, looking like they're trying to hold back smiles. The horror of a decaying body lumbering slowly through the moonlight groaning is far more errie and menacing. Also, the music at times just made it too spoofy (unless that's what they were going for then bravo) but cheesy metal tunes just kills the tension and sends the movie into goof mode. I think 50% more tension could have been added with the right music (slower, creepier, like what Goblin did for "Suspiria").
I'm still going to see Zombie Bloodbath 2 & 3. I'm sure the gore factor will be high and kudus for that Todd Sheets, but hopfully more suspense will be added. My two stars are for effort and gore. Not worthy but do-able.
