Such a frustrating disappointment

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

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

I love shot on video movies. Okay, sure, 90% of them are awful, but it doesn't mean that I don't love them fore their cheesiness. Now, Zombie Toxin is probably one of the most laughably bad SOV titles I've ever seen. I bought the tape on eBay and watched it a week later when it arrived. The movie is technically about a satanist who orders two Nimrods to chop up a horse for a satanic festival. The horse infects one of them and the servant throws the body parts into the river. A farmer drinks from the river and it causes him to have explosive and violent vomiting and defecating. Two Nazis collect the toxin from the field and sell it in wine bottles all around England. The bottles come to life and start to attack everyone. Zombies attack and their asses are kicked. Meanwhile, the servant lives his life without arms or legs after getting them eaten and blown off. That's it. Overall, it's not the worst SOV movie I've seen, but it's worth a few laughs. Go watch it on YouTube or, if you can, buy the tape on Amazon.

Viewed within the context of most straight to video 'films', Zombie Toxin is far from the worst the genre can offer. (If you don't believe me, watch it back to back with Zombie 90: Extreme Pestilence and tell me I'm wrong.) However, it's still pretty bad. Others have summarised the plot in sufficient detail; I will merely add that if you are fond of vomiting and diarrhea, you will love this film. If not for the fact that it is clearly a comedy, Zombie Toxin would make Salo: The 120 Days of Sodom look like a children's birthday party. The film continues the great British tradition of cross-dressing for laughs, and is highlighted by a Yorkshireman's satiric take on New York, New York, here entitled Oop North, Oop North. It's bloody, it's disgusting, and it's bloody disgusting, but at least it made me almost chuckle a few times--mostly when the wine bottles attempt to conquer the world!

A dead horse infects two men with a disease that turns them in to overacting, poorly made up zombies. As they carry on defecating and vomiting on each other they contaminate a field of yeast (?), giving two Nazi-wannabes the idea of buying the infected field, selling the yeast in home wine-brewing kits and destroying the rest of humanity by spreading the infection. A man buys a kit and makes the wine and, in yet another act of creative genius by the writer, the bottles get up on their own and start attacking people. I'm usually pretty forgiving when it comes to movies that are clearly made by amateurs that are working with extremely low budgets, but this is probably the most juvenile, unimaginative, and pointless piece of garbage that I've ever seen make it on to commercially produced video tapes. And if the terrible acting, zero budget and non-existent plot didn't make this bad enough, writer/director Thomas Moose seems to have a sick obsession with defecation and vomiting, which leads to some of the most excessive and needlessly disgusting scenes I've ever watched. 1 out of 10, if director Moose has any talent he's done a pretty thorough job of making sure it didn't show itself here, all he does is provide proof that some people should stay away from camcorders as well as sharp objects.
