The Alien Dead (1980)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Memorable, crazy movie

Boring

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

WARNING: This review may contain some spoilers, so be careful a little bit.The Alien Dead is without a doubt one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life, this movie really goes to show you that Fred Olen Ray isn't that great of a director. Where to begin with this crap-hole, this movie is about a so-called zombie invasion obviously killing people, but this time in a small redneck town. This crap-hole has some of the worst acting I've ever seen in a long time, the non- existent special effects top with god-awful blood effects, the horrible music, pretty much this movie screams "trash" in all levels. Did I forgot to tell you that this movie has some of the worst endings of all time? Yeah, overall The Alien Dead is without a doubt the most godawful pointless boring movie I've ever seen in my entire life, I honestly dare you to find me a movie that's worse than The Alien Dead. Wish I can rate this movie a 0 but unfortunately until that option is available, a 1 out of 10 will have to do from now.

Not much blood or boobs. The Florida swamps are becoming infested by zombies that have, apparently, come from some sort of extraterrestrial shenanigans. It's up to the locals to stop or at least escape the terror. - - - Pretty much a reworking of "Attack of the Giant Leeches" that doesn't quite get over the hump from backyard production to amateur film. Fred Olen Ray, always liked him, tries hard and delivers some amusing scenes (the opening conversation is very Ed Wood-ian)and manages to keep the action going for the short running time. Still, the movie is too full of boring exposition and the action gets repetitive very quickly. There's entertainment to be had, I suppose, but it has the most value as a curious piece of Fred Olen Ray history. Not recommended.* out of 4

OK, when you buy or watch a Fred Ollen Ray movie you don't expect Citizen Cane. You get what you pay for. I got the ALien Dead on VHS for only 3 bucks and i got what i paid for. I enjoyed it enough to not want to throw it away. The lighting is bad and the acting is horrible but it's one of his first movies, and the budget was really small. You have to work with what ya got. Maybe he didn't have great lighting equipment. So flippin sue him, Your the flippin idiot that paid 20 bucks for the DVD, not me! So if you hate him so much then stop buying his movies you losers. Flubby do bad and his ass mongers went to Dan's mountain to take it back. But Dan would not give it to them no sirree bob. So he got his gun out and cold-cocked the son of a b**ch

I always heard that this was the absolute worst zombie movie of all time, but I'd much rather watch this than Zombie Nightmare, Revenge of the Dead, or Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things... definitely. You could do a lot worse than watching this movie, which actually has some pretty fun moments. I mean, people that this film was made for will probably find it appealing no matter what anyone says about it; anyone that is looking for a serious horror movie in here probably doesn't realize that the title of the movie is "ALIEN DEAD", which makes ME laugh quite a bit. Eh.This film, which was made for $12,000 (and they used every penny of it), is about a meteor crashing and turning rednecks into zombies. The film suffers from a really grainy look and features horrible sound (which may have been cleaned up for the recent DVD release.. whoopty doo). The editing is quite awful; there are a few times when they cut to another scene while someone is talking (kind of like near the end of Invasion of the Blood Farmers when the cop is talking and picks up the phone and says "F..." and then it cuts to a scene of a guy driving -- what?!).The story is terrible, the "effects" are terrible. A person will get killed, but the camera cuts away really quickly and then shows the aftermath of blood being in a big hole in a woman's chest. Or another woman will get stabbed with a pitchfork, but you won't see it actually enter the woman -- you'll just see the pitchfork sticking out of her back. It's quite laughably bad, but at least they tried to give some gore, with some of the zombies chomping on entrails. The musical score is cheesy but good; however, they actually use real country songs to add "ambience" to the redneck surroundings, which is hilariously awful. When it was over, I can safely say I wasn't bored and I distinctly remember enjoying myself throughout the whole thing. However, it's kind of hard to write a really detailed review for this, as this flick is pretty much unmemorable when it's all said and done.
