SITE UPDATE November 23rd, 2010
As many of you have probably noticed, it's been awhile since the last site update here on MovieMassacre.com. The reason for this is because I've been working hard on putting together a new website. I can't really talk about the site too much yet, but I should have an official announcement towards the end of December. This second website is also movie related and I think some of you will really enjoy it once it's up and running in early 2011. Stay tuned to MovieMassacre.com for more information, or if you're on Facebook feel free to add me as a friend. Until then, take care and I hope you all have a happy Thanksgiving!

The Video Dead (1987)
Directed by: Robert Scott
Written by: Robert Scott
Released by: Embassy Home Entertainment
"Look what's living inside your television."
‘The Video Dead’ is a direct-to-home video release in which a horde of blood thirsty zombies emerge from a cursed b&w television set and wreak havoc on a group of unsuspecting suburbanites.
Other than having a sizable amount of blood and some brief nudity from a woman you’d rather see fully clothed, this low-budget zombie affair from 1987 has a look and feel very similar to an episode of “Tales from the Darkside” which was on around the same time period. The acting in 'The Video Dead' is beyond atrocious and the dialogue is laughably bad, but in a fun, cheesy sort of way. What really seems to make this film work is in its unique plot, fantastic soundtrack and creepy looking zombies. The film's writer/director, Robert Scott, does a great job at turning diarrhea into orange juice, as he manages to piece together a fun little movie while working around a microscopic budget and a talentless group of actors.
If you're a fan of no-budget horror flicks from the 80's then 'The Video Dead' is certainly one you'll want to check out! Personally I enjoyed the hell out of it, but it's certainly made for a very niche audience.
