A Brilliant Conflict

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

If you're looking for one of those "so bad it's good" movies, then ROTLD is the movie you want. Featuring characters with no background or motivation beyond "reporter," "Grandpa" and "child genius," scenes of complete silence and - best of all - a villain "reveal" that makes Scooby Doo's "I would have got away with it, too, if it wasn't for you pesky kids," look complex this film is, quite frankly, an absolute stinker.Worth watching if you've a few likeminded friends and a crate of beer handy, but other than that, this film is without merit. Zombie or horror fans expecting a "proper" horror movie should avoid at all costs.

I am a movie lover, and I really like horror films. This movie however, is the worst movie I have ever seen. The acting, plot, script, and director are terrible. The movie is so slowly paced that you could not pay me to watch it again. The opening seen alone takes practically 10 minutes to state it's purpose(it doesn't make much sense any way, so technically it doesn't even do that). The effects are virtually non existent, the dialogue is wretched, and anybody who is not brain-dead would be able to make a better film than this one. Somebody told me it was going to be on TV for Halloween. It was reported that it was " the worst movie ever". I was excited to watch it, thinking that it would be bad in the way that classics like The Toxic Avenger or the myriad of slasher films from the 80s were. I was dead wrong! The only reason I watched the whole movie was because I didn't believe how incredibly terrible it was. There is a scene leading up to the "climax"(ugh!)that shows a man walking from one end of a wall or something to the other on-screen for practically 10 minutes in the dark.Don't even waste your time with this movie and if you do,I guarantee you will never forget it. How this movie was ever produced is the 8th wonder of the world.

As an avid Zombie movie fan, I bought this with hi-hopes of fun, gore and shambling ghouls. I got a shambling movie, no gore, and no fun (with the exception of the kid-hero frying his hamster with a laser gun (made from a cunningly converted laser disc player). That alone saved the movie from a score of 1. On the whole it looks like school kids on a budget of their accumulated paper-round savings put the movie together.Even as a self confessed zombie fan I could only watch it once. In need of a second opinion I handed it on to another zombie fan. He watched it once too; then threw it in the bin for me.

A useless film, hardly any gore, no suspense, very bad acting, especially from the children and the plot is just so lame I can´t believe it. This film had no redeeming qualities whatsoever and no horror-fans can like this boring stinker. A given "1" and a film I shall never forget for its worthlessness. In fact the only worse movies I have seen are "Sister Act 2" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2".
