 An unwatchable zombie movie August 13, 2010
M. Crowson (Richmond, Virginia United States)
This movie is absent any production values, is missing good lighting, and the acting is very poor at best. I don't care how low budget a movie is, if the viewers can't SEE it then how can they like it. It looks like it was shot on someone's home video. There is no spit and polish to give the impression that any effort was made on this film. If the filmmakers do not make any effort to churn out a watchable movie, then I'm not going to go through the effort of recommending it.
A review from Zombiefans! November 1, 2007
Zombob (U.S.A.)
sigh...at least it was better than 'Zombiez'...
1) ACTING: Pretty much, it was hit and miss. Some of the actors were okay, and some were pretty rough. The lead character needed to be played by someone with more acting experience. He would've have been okay as a supporting character, but as the lead (who was also a scientist) he wasn't convincing.
2) PRODUCTION: This was filmed on whatever is the next film machine up from a camcorder. Some dark scenes not lit really well. So-so soundtrack, no heavy metal music, but some hip-hop songs here and there. I enjoyed the "stunt phone." It seemed whenever a cell phone needed to be dropped, it was always the same kind that hit the ground, even though we would see different cell phones with different characters at the time of use.
3) ZOMBIES: Snyder runners all the way. Nothing new here, except zombie-Jermaine remains loyal to his brother when he is attacked by another zombie. "Love transcends all bounderies"...?
4) SPECIAL EFFECTS: Mad scientists with Mountain Dew in a beaker just doesn't cut it. The gore wasn't too bad, but reaching UNDER people shirts to gut them should only be used once or twice. Some of the budget should be spent on at least one good gut tearing scene. (IT IS a zombie movie, for pete's sake!) Having victims being attacked and seeing the aftermath of the victims just laying there with blood on them doesn't work either. (or, at least, not in abundance) And God forbid, I realize that white t-shirts show off the best blood, but when the majority of the cast is wearing them and then dying, it becomes noticable. (It was like the "red shirts" from 'Star Trek.')
5) THE CAUSE: Man made experimental formula, trying to revitalize dying cells.
Overall, a pretty typical lousy zombie movie. I realize that zombie movies are a plentiful bunch lately, but there should be no excuse for mediocrity.
RATING: 2 out of 5.
If you need to ask if this movie is good, you're in the wrong place. March 13, 2007

Hood of the Living Dead (The Quiroz Brothers, 2004)
It is only the fact that I saw Venice Underground and the remake of The Wicker Man in the same weekend as this that stops Hood of the Living Dead from garnering the title of Worst Movie I've Seen So Far This Year. I mean, this is abominable-- it's bad filmmaking without any of the benefits of Midnight Skater. In fact, I cannot think of a single thing to say in this movies defense except that it's not Venice Underground or the remake of The Wicker Man.
In what passes thinly for something that may have at one time resembled a plot, Scott (Chris Angelo) and Ricky (Carl Washington, who has the bad fortune to have starred in both Quiroz Bros. And Daniel Zirrilli movies within a year of one another-- surely the kiss of death for any aspiring actor) are scientists working for Dr. Richards (Solo por Hoy's Victor Zaragoza) on a formula to speed cell regeneration. When Scotty's brother Jermaine (Dope Game 2's Brandon Daniels in his second appearance on film) is killed in a drive-by, Ricky and Scott use the formula on him. When it doesn't seem to work, Jermaine is taken away in an ambulance, and Ricky vows revenge on the shooters, recruiting Jermaine's gangsta-wannabe friends to gun them down. Which would normally start a gang war, but not here-- the formula did work, turning Jermaine into a zombie who's bent on his own revenge-- turning the shooters into zombies. Yes, I'm serious. Zombie gang wars, folks.
Actually, think about it-- that would have been a pretty funny concept. However, the Quiroz Brothers never pick it up and run with it, instead focusing on the scientists and their hired-mercenary help trying to survive the zombie onslaught. (Read "onslaught" here as "a handful of easily killed walking dead people".) It's no-budget silliness, but as Midnight Skater showed, no-budget silliness can be great if you've got a meaty script and some original ideas. Hood of the Living Dead has neither; it stumbles into every convention there is and does nothing at all original with them. *

Hood of the Living Dead eh? some friends of mine rented this movie based off the title of the movies alone. they thought it make a hell of a good movie to end the night and laugh our asses off. Well this wouldve been great but they tried a bit too hard on this one. I mean come on...i know youre trying to make a movie here but lighten up a bit. Its so serious its funny. The acting is terrible. The make-up isnt the worst but its not good either. Its kind of funny because its so bad. I think i was the only one that stayed awake and watched the whole thing. Anyways if youre looking for a decent movie to laugh at and make fun of here it is. Hell I love horror movies and I had some fun watching it...corny jokes were all said to myself but oh well. Rent it just to make fun of it. Have fun zombies

I went into this movie not expecting it to be "good" in the least, however I was hoping I was in for a good laugh and quite possibly a couple of good gore scenes, and yet this movie failed me. It was horrible in every aspect, it had quite possibly the worst acting I have seen, the plot was terrible, and the zombies were basically gangsters with face paint on. It was almost as if the people who made this movie and everyone in it had never even seen a zombie movie before, let alone knew how to make one. I held out hope while watching that it would get better towards the end, and yet it only got worse, I couldnt even finish. Do yourselves a favor and dont even think twice about watching this movie, let alone purchasing it.
