It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

When I was watching the Chiller Channel yesterday, they were hyping up this movie. It sort of looked good. So I tuned in. After 10 minutes, I was just done. I mean, the plot was old, the accents were unnecessary, and it just felt like a horrible, stupid remake of Night of the Living Dead. After the frog scene, I was just like "This is ridiculous." I thought this movie was going to live up to my standards, but it didn't even come close. This was an awful film. Very bloody and horrific. My sister turned an uncanny shade of green by watching the doctor's daughter eat the body parts, and she loves horror movies. I felt very sick too. It was an overuse of blood and guts. I know it was supposed to be a zombie-eats-human-parts movie, but they strongly overdid the blood. Awful screenplay. Terrible film.

WOW, I must say this was a gem of a horror movie. The bloodletting is virtually nonstop, with some very disgusting scenes, you must get the unrated DVD from Asylum. Alright first let me get the minor issues I had with the film out of way. For one in a scene where two characters get run over by a car, it's painfully obvious that two dressed up dummies were taking the hit. Second an explosion scene in the finale, features some shoddy cgi, that had characters' screaming in pain from fake flames, that didn't even come close to touching them. Don't worry, these are two scenes that add up to maybe ten seconds total, and doesn't effect the film. And what a film it is, the final half hour is awesome, and features an extremely ticked off hero, taking care of business. I'm talking living dead monsters' getting sawed to pieces, shot, heads pulled off, it ain't pretty, and I dug it a lot. The zombies here vary, the main antagonists are still very intelligent, and speak perfectly, while others are just the garden variety slow motion brain eaters' we all grew up with. The budget here was low, but they deliver by piling on the old school effects, which nine times out of ten is going to be better than shoddy unconvincing cgi. Leben Tod owes a lot to Re-Animator, and if you love that film, this is a highly recommended homage.

I enjoy a Zombie movie now and then and I am always looking for a new take. Resident Evil was a good new look on a big scale. And I think that Night of the dead was good too in a less expensive way. I didn't recognize any of the actors but they did a great job, especially the mad scientist. And the Gunter character was a hoot. Really creepy. He's going to be in the hills have eyes 2 so I'll be looking for him there. And of course the little zombies girl was great. She made me sad wanting to go outside to play like a normal kid.But the story is what really made this work for me. It was really unexpected and had a lot of heart. The mad scientist is driven by love for his wife and daughter who were killed to find a way to bring them back. And he is blinded by this to do terrible things in the name of that love. And then Peter, his nephew, an action hero in the making is driven by love too. Most Zombie films are driven by fear or government experiments or duty to the state. But this is a different take.And even tough the title on the box is Night of the dead, the title on the actually movie says Night of the dead, Leben Tod. The Leben Tod is the German word for the Zombies. I wish they had put the whole title on the box. It's better.And don't forget the very excellent music video which is an extra on the DVD.I am all for this movie.

As with his last film, Alien Abduction, Eric Forsberg does amazing work with a small budget. I would really be eager to see what he could do with more money. His actors are all excellent and the script has good plot twists and lots of humor. The special effects are turn-away scary, and his monster/ghoul/zombie things show unique individuality not usually seen in this type of film. I really liked the plot twist at the end, something he also did in Alien Abduction and I didn't see either of them coming. Mr. Forsberg is a most talented screenwriter and director, limited only by budget. Somebody give this guy a huge chunk of money and let him make a first rate film, I know he could do it.
