Info

When a renegade band of young filmmakers break into an abandoned hospital to make their horror epic, they stumble upon a real dead body and decide to use it in their movie. They accidentally bring it back to life, open a portal to a dead world that releases dozens of other zombies, then struggle for their lives in a desperate attempt to flee from the creatures who apparently have them hopelessly trapped in the hospital.

The Dead Hate the Living! Audience Reviews

Diagonaldi Very well executed
Freaktana A Major Disappointment
Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Kazetnik 1. Avoid all movies with exclamation marks in the title - you'll only be surprised in a baaaad way; 2. Avoid all movies which the director claims to have made to be deliberately bad: if he's lying, he's a bad director covering up and if he's telling the truth he must have all rights to direct surgically removed; 3. Avoid all movies which have as their sole premise the quotation, sorry that's "QUOTATION", with an elbow in the ribs, the fruits of others' honest endeavour; 4. Remember - just because it has 'living' and 'dead' in the title does not mean you will like it anyway even if it's cheesy as hell, with rubbish dialogue and skanky SFX; 5. Life is too short for such stuff.
movieman_kev A group of young filmmakers break into an old abandoned hospital to shoot a film and inadvertently open a portal that unleashes zombies on the hapless cast and crew in this horror-comedy. Mixing horror with comedy is a VERY tricky thing. The ones that work do so amazingly well (Dead Alive, Return of the Living Dead, Re-animator, bad taste, etc...). The movies that don't work are usually total ass.This self-referential name-dropping, scene stealing film is part of the latter and ranks down there with "Dead Heat" as far as what NOT to do to succeed. Horrible acting, music, lame jokes, stealing scenes outright from far better films, dime-store special effects, and an unengaging, unoriginal story all add up to a putrid stench-filled film.My Grade: D- DVD Extras: Commentary by Writer/Director Dave Parker, and actors Eric Clawson, Matt Stephens, Brett Beardslee, & Jamie Donahue; photo gallery; production art; a 20 minute behind the scenes featurette; Music video; a ad for the puppet master toys; and theatrical trailer Gripes: If you have the commentary turned on and then go to the extras NONE of them will play sound. word of warning
Mike H This is an interesting movie. There are lots of cool Zombies. There's a zombie in it that looks like Sam Kinison! A Sam Kinison Zombie! He will make you laugh and then he will eat your brains! Watch out, viewers, Sam Kinison zombie will scare you! There's also a fat zombie that looks like the ones in resident evil as well. But, the Sam Kinison Zombie is the best. All in all, this is a great movie for Horror fans. Man, that Sam Kinison zombie, cant get enough of that! It's a very good movie, The Dead Hate the Living. They really show it, too. They really hate the living. I wonder if its because we are alive and they are dead? I think that's the correct answer.
John_Warwick It's a shame that this film has such a low rating on IMDb because it really is quite an entertaining film if you are prepared to wait. The problem with this film is that it seems to take forever to actually get going which can be a problem with a lot of the cheaper horror films ( I think that dark power is the worst of those I've ever seen). But for a film with a low budget when it does get going the going is good okay so its not brilliant but you shouldn't really be expecting it to be. A good little horror film made on a low budget and if you have no patience at all just skip forward for the first half hour you'll still get some background info before the action starts.
