Another pre-PORKY'S horror flick by director Bob Clark, this one pays clumsy homage to NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD only it's nowhere near as good.
The film is so full of sarcastic dialog that becomes grating after awhile, making me (as the viewer) wish all of the all the characters would just get killed off so the whole thing would end sooner and I wouldn't have to listen to it anymore. Yabada..yabada..yabada..
Hippie film crew led by Alan Ormsby arrive on a Florida island, scouting for locations for his horror flick. They spend a lot of time in the graveyard (which looks like a studio set) digging up a freshly buried corpse to use as a movie prop. Ormsby also has a witchcraft book with him and says a bunch of mumbo-jumbo in order to get everyone in the mood.
Unfortunately, this spell Ormsby has just recited causes all the dead to rise up out of the graves and attack them. Even the makeup jobs look pretty amateurish. If they had used b/w film, it might not have looked so obvious.
It's only in the last 10 minutes or so that some action finally takes place and we don't have to listen to all the previous crap. But by that point, you're just ready to chuck this whole thing into the sh*tpile and just leave it there.
2 out of 10 for all the stalling
