Hell of the Living Dead - Good Bad Flicks

[@zogmorp]

I bought this on VHS from a cd store in a mall in 1999. I was a freash fan of zombie films after playing Resident Evil 1 and 2. I had already seen the Romero flicks and was thirsty for more zombie movies. I bought this and brought it to a friends house. It was so boring and bad we fell asleep while watching it. It happened to be 4th of July weekend and we decided to cram the VHS tape with firecrackers and blow it up. It's a happy memory.

[@bakumeekbakumeek3738]

I love these obscure family films.😀

[@renemies78]

This was possibly the funniest GoodBadFlicks episode I've ever seen. It had me busting up so much.

[@Drizake89]

Rene Rodriguez same here lol

[@ThierryWilliamson]

"Those green buttons are Goddamn liars." Okay, that is my favorite quote.

[@getsugatenshou4309]

Yes!!!!

[@CorbCorbin]

"Keep back! We may get some fireworks..."

[@calebhernandez681]

This is my go-to example of a film that works despite itself. It is so objectively awful in so many ways, and yet it still manages to be creepy, disturbing, and suspenseful. The sheer nihilism of the ending (I’m thinking the reveal of the facility’s true purpose and the deaths of the main cast) can genuinely put a lump in my throat, even if that plaster head being ripped apart is absurdly fake.

[@JoeinSeattle.]

Great points !👍

[@monicasmith5943]

That nom, nom, nom had me cracking up!! Perfect!

[@fuckenps3]

Really irritating. Could have done without it.

[@alextv2944]

It's gone now. :(

[@l.salisbury1253]

9:55 - Fun Fakt: the soundtrack album of La Vallee is Pink Floyd's 1972 LP "Obscured By Clouds"...!

[@zmbdog]

9:24 Don't forget "Dusk of the Dead". That version is on yt right now.

[@salemmumuni8485]

I love the "You deserve this" I laughed so hard.

[@simontemplar.8668]

1:50 nailed it for me totally! 😂

[@oddeyes9413]

That nom, nom sound clip made me laugh so hard.

[@thedanksavatron7782]

I saw this as a kid in the theater & it was called Night of the Zombies. I own on it DVD but gotta be heavily baked to watch it. A Must watch for zombie movie fans...

[@CorpoAgent73]

I love this movie! The "living image of a modern mother" bit is one of the "best" lines in horror history. This would make an amazing double bill with Burial Ground. The closing credit cue is also in Beyond The Darkness, which is also by Goblin, but I don't know if Joe D'Amato stole it or not.

[@nomatchesformikey7768]

3:55 Hold on... an Incredible Melting Man reference? That deserves an ATCHKAA! Nicely done

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Thanks! I've been dropping a few of those lately. I may need an intervention.

[@nomatchesformikey7768]

MST3K references never get old. Cameron Mitchell approves=)

[@jasoncallan]

I absolutley loved this movie. I still remember when it was released back under the title. Night of the zombies.

[@speabody]

2:20 Tbf they ALL had awful trigger discipline

[@alexthelizardking]

"who are those guys?" they're the workers loitering outside the hope facility earlier

[@MikeGalosi]

2:22 Cameo by a young Rich Evans

[@AudioGardenSlave123]

Yeah didn't have the poundage back then that he does now.

[@JQXJQ]

That must be a shot from the 'Space Cop' prequel 'Earth Cop.'

[@bellvnv2000]

Damn Red Letter Media people, coming here giving my Good Bad Flicks there "AAAAIIIIDDDSSS" !!!

[@jaywunder13242]

And Scott Bakula at 2:48?

[@clownprince88]

terrific review, I love this movie, it's one of the best "bad" movies ever made

[@JoannaJedrzejczyksForehead]

The little chipmunk sounding “nom-nom” dub had me in tears.

[@ikecarr5989]

One of my favorite parts of the video. 😊 Too bad just watching it Cecil had to cut out due to copyright concerns.

[@stlouisrocker100]

This is one of those films I love to watch with friends while we have some drinks. We riff the hell out of these movies.

[@Rod_I._Rigo]

Same here. Except, substitute: drinks for: cannibis. ;)

[@stlouisrocker100]

@@Rod_I._Rigo That works too. Maybe even better

[@ralaun2000]

OMFG, my friends and I drove nearly fifty miles to see this damn movie when it first came out as Night of the Zombies, and we were screaming every time they stole from the Dawn of the Dead soundtrack. WHY did we want to see it? The poster was the only thing we needed since it came out of nowhere with zero advertising other than the poster. There was one theater that always had the worst unknown horror movies, so when we saw it was there, we knew it'd be our only chance.

[@Solodolo84]

My mom used to work part time at a video store in the late 80's early 90's (Erol's Video-early Blockbuster Video days) I remember strolling the aisle picking a movie based on cover art. Sometimes it was a good pick, others were duds. She got tired f me renting Jason takes Manhattan and Slugs over and over again, so little me had to branch out. I know it was many kids just the same, that's how imo we grew to love the cheese. B-movies forever. #vhs #bekindpleaserewind

[@johnnymclaneutah]

3:07 the hell is that shooting stance? i bet they didn't teach that in the special force guy school.

[@davebooshty299]

I still have it on VHS as Night of the Zombies.

[@arnonuhm2649]

A very cheesy, but still likeable zombie flick. I really like this one. Lovbe the spoecial unit in this film. You can tell these guys were hav ing a good time filming this one. :)

[@Akira1296]

Great vids man! You should do one on Blood Feast 2, a real d-movie with an entire soundtrack done by Southern Culture on the Skids!

[@nicholaswetzel7119]

I don't know if you've seen Freaked (1993), but I think that bizarre film is worth a review!

[@BigZapfer]

"Operation Sweet Death" hmmm sounds completely safe, better sign up for that.......

[@terryburns184]

The stock footage of the elephants in New Guinea is a classic!

[@mishylove]

I've never seen a horrible low budget movie before that had such good makeup effects. The gore makeup was really disgusting.

[@MunsterFan666]

That! That was even better than the Cinema Snob's video. Excellent vid as always.

[@pansnemesis]

Man you deserve more subs, keep up the great work and they'll come... As always great job, best wishes

[@thegood9]

agreed, the FX were VERY realistic in this movie on the human/zombies. Very nicely done.

[@liamearly4883]

Once again Cecil another great video.

[@nullanon5716]

Liam Early is his name Cecil?

[@owenfitzgerald3219]

"Why the long face, something eating ye?" That's a hilarious question in a Zombie Film.

[@leadvendor]

That kid gave the best performance in this movie. 10/10.

[@NestorCaster]

“Nom-nom” part... priceless 😂

[@The_Based_Batman]

On the topic of Zombies, what's your thoughts on Night of the Living Dead? Both the 1990 remake (Which I personally enjoyed and felt was one of the better horror movie remakes) and the classic. (Whatever you do though, do not suffer through the 2006 version... Or any of the others for that matter) Love your channel and content btw. You definitely deserve more subscribers.

[@jazzercaster4749]

Man I love this channel, I'm 31 but had older brothers and have seen so many of these old horror movies, almost all of them!! So much fun and you do such a good job, really funny too. Check out a crazy one I remember we had when I was a kid called The Manitou (Late 70s) mand it would be perfect for the good bad flicks.

[@steveharvey2102]

Great review, the reference to "Rats" would of earned a Sub by itself but the entire review was dead-on. Well done. Cheers.

[@sonicpstv2]

6:20 maybe they intentionally edited it like that to make everyone laugh.

[@DeliaCore]

I didn't mind the World War Z movie except that it was disgustingly nothing like the book. The book wouldn't make a good movie anyway though. It would work better as a sort of fake documentary series on HBO

[@Nitrobotti]

+Ben Casey It was PG-13! Argh!

[@Mer0lk]

I would love to see it as a mini-series. I understand why it could never do it justice as a feature film.

[@231mac]

Nope. It sucked.

[@Theguitararcher]

I don't think so. If it was done like interview with a vampire it could've be been good.

[@lorettamowell8764]

0:13 looks just like the Corvega Assembly Plant.

[@adman1381]

It's a perfect movie! My only complaint is why hasn't Rifftrax done this one?

[@ChuckD008]

An all-time fave! It is SO crazy

[@fanfaretloudest]

Hope each new vid, garners more than a thousand views and subs, each week you grow in popularity. How come crap like Pewds gets all the attention but not stuff like this??? Awesome vid, no surprise man.

[@calebholland9846]

I don't agree that Pewds is crap but I do agree with everything else that you said.

[@thedanksavatron7782]

I saw this in the theater as a kid & it billed as Night of the Zombies! I have the DVD & it's titled Zombie creeping flesh! Only good if your super baked!

[@JasonSum1979]

A super underrated film that doesn't get nearly enough respect It's cheap but, it works for the type of flick it is without a doubt a great early 80's Rated X Horror film

[@Derceto00]

For a moment I thought this was City of the Living Dead. I think the cover art may be shared between the two to some degree. No idea why. LOL j/k Great video as usual. Some good laughs. Thanks!

[@CorpoAgent73]

The zombie head on this is the same as the artwork for The Gates of Hell version of City...

[@salemmumuni8485]

Just saw this video and the best quote was " you deserve this" had me laughing so much.

[@205donovan9]

I am absolutely loving your channel! I really love researching movies too, and I'm curious to know if you have any personal favorite resources.

[@JoeinSeattle.]

You are some kind of genius!! Great channel 👍👍 !!

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Thank you!

[@WhiskeyBrewer]

Would you ever do a GBF on The Barbarians from 1987? Oh Cannon you've done it again lol

[@poisonshift78]

Not just cashing in on Dawn of the Dead, yeah they have the Goblin music from the movie, but the soldiers are actually wearing the uniforms from the intro at the project. So what Peter and Roger are wearing is what these guys wear the whole movie

[@bananaempijama]

i think the "dancing like an idiot" part is an homage to clockwork Orange

[@HeroicPunk]

That's IMMEDIATELY what I thought, too. Seemed way too similar to be a coincidence.

[@sugreev2001]

0:45 is that Hazmat's burka version?

[@BigVitus]

Man, I would have loved to have seen a zombie movie starring the members of Black Sabbath.

[@bakedspade]

Hahaha, imagine Oozy. 'Tony we can't leave, zombies have eaten the bloody driver.'

[@jaywunder13242]

The only time I can understand Ozzie is when he's singing.

[@Madbandit77]

[@AWMJoeyjoejoe]

[@MariWakocha]

Wow! The first one to cut open a pig's eye standing in for a human one on film was Salvador Dali!

[@edch7516]

what an ending! great review as usual

[@cctv7989]

''NOPE! not on this budget'' lmfao

[@SimpleSlave]

Love this movie. One of the best Zombie B-Movies - C-Movie? - of all time. And the gore effects are surprisingly awesome.

[@AR-CINE-HOUSE]

Nom nom nom nom nom nom nom, Nom nom nom nom nom nom nom XD

[@Saad_Man]

just out of curiosity, how do you find these movies and what makes you decide on a certain movie to watch?

[@big3ye378]

Love this video, thank you !

[@villesanti1]

This was the first flesh-eating-zombie movie I ever saw, and it freaked me out, well I was like 8. I saw it again a few years back and it was horrible, but it's a guilty pleasure to watch.

[@bellvnv2000]

I first heard about this movie from one of my Facebook friends 'Douglas Duane Dietrich' from one of his shows either it on 'Feet to the Fire' or 'Critical Omissions' where he talks about the premise of this movie was gotten from the rumors of a real life zombie event in Russia ! After the test detonation of a Russian neutron bomb, the way prions disintegrate the human mind and the total blackout and clean up of a small town by the Spitznas !

[@spaghettieast]

Absolute classic.

[@jerichohill487]

We need this movie reedited with you doing a scene by scene commentary

[@drwinlied]

well, i guess i'll add this to my list of films to buy. checking synapse/shoutfactory for a BD version...

[@andyclarkable]

when they take the truck away from the house, one of the zombies just opens the door and gets in. too bad you didn't make a notice of that, because it's my wife's favorite part.

[@milesanthony764]

And Argento's "Demons"!!

[@FNHot]

You dont want maggot eating in movies? The WEF wants it in real life!

[@Palmieres]

That NOM NOM NOM sound is creepier than this whole movie! The casting people who chose that Special Forces team were definitely drinking break fluid. That is the least believable Special Forces team I've ever seen - starting with those janitor jumpsuits and janitor faces (no hate on janitors, though).

[@jacemachine]

Oh, I love this dumb zombie movie. I own it.The cat's scene is the best. (or am I confusing that bit from a similar scene in one of the "zombi series"?)

[@tylerskiss]

that's my thinking as well- all these damn zombi knockoffs (which itself is a knockoff) all start to blur and you forget what happened where. Like I swear I saw this film and they called the virus "Death One", but here it's "Sweet Death" (it's very effective whatever the name is) so have I just got two films mixed up or was there another English dubbed version of this film... I'd love to see a flow chart of all these films and how they were intended to fit in the grand scheme of Dawn of the Dead or Zombi 2 (you know, Zombie) sequels.

[@jacemachine]

Cyril I love your Grendel icon, BTW!

[@tylerskiss]

***** thanks! I have the same thing on my shoulder and it's so cool when people see it and recognize it. I actually contacted Matt Wagner and asked him if I could option the rights to write a Grendel: Warchild screenplay, but he said the rights were already owned (he was very nice about it). I'm shocked whoever has them hasn't fast tracked a film adaptation now that comic films are so popular.

[@jacemachine]

Cyril I used to own Matt Wagner's mini-fridge! I used to know the founder of Comico (Phil LaSorda), and he still had Matt's beer fridge from his studio, and loaned it to me for a few months while I lived in a boarding room up in Norristown, PA. Grendel Prime was such a great version of the Grendel character-- easily my favorite.

[@tylerskiss]

That's awesome- both the fridge and the founder of Comico. I pitched the idea of doing Grendel Prime first and then, if the film did well, go back and tell Hunter Rose's story.

[@akumuryuu]

For some reason, the hat turning made me laugh the most.

[@kylecarson5723]

love this channel

[@rafaeltrivino1790]

I remember one movie I bougt for cheap at a Blockbuster before it closed down. I think it was called Zombie 3 or Zombie Island. The beginning was gory as hell.

[@tpowers8012]

I remember my dad buying this on VHS at Sun Coast video. one watch and he brought it to good will, Was hoping for something like Dawn of the Dead or Zombie (Zombi 2).

[@BottomBunkArt]

1:57 the most homoerotic zombie attack outside of parody porn

[@bromodragone8405]

Let's get some more Fulci and Mattei!

[@MoonspiderHugs]

i remember seeing this movie, but under the title "night of the zombies"

[@johnnymcauliffe1289]

4:19 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

[@DarrowFisher]

Also, why can't I find an "Operation: Sweet Death" T-Shirt anywhere?!?

[@videoj81]

Wow , thank you for reviewing this . Please do more retro horrors

[@ilovebrains264]

Okay I know I've seen that last picture from somewhere. anyone got the name of it or a link to it?

[@JorgeAngulo1975]

That scene with the kid zombie is stuck in my head since the first time I saw it. I must have been 8 or 10 years old.

[@JorgeAngulo1975]

Now I have a way to remember the name of this film, it has scenes from the film "La vallée" which has music by Pink Floyd (Obscured by the clouds)

[@RodneyAllanPoe]

LOL. "It had to be dialed back. Waaaaaayyy back."

[@charlesbronson4282]

Where did you find that num-num-num-num-num-num-num sound bit? That part was absolute genius!!!

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Thanks! Unfortunately I don't remember

[@oliverdavey5648]

Agreed, this IS a good bad flick. Great example of Italian schlock done well, but unfairly lumped-in with the likes of Fulci and Argento - those guys were actually good.

[@alexandresobreiramartins9461]

No, no, the assistant was telling Professor Barrow those things because Barrow can't read.

[@dbsommers1]

This was something else.

[@theonlyguiltymaninshawshan7909]

Nice "Over the Top" shout-out!

[@caramelconundrum9280]

I found and watched this when I was a kid and It terrified me.

[@DoctorMurky]

guy at 7:50 - "the other hell?"

[@travisshallenberger9486]

The guy at 10:35 looks like Zombie Nick Valentine.

[@cambellfan22]

that is alright, I have seen brad jones review of hell of the living dead which he did show maggot eating

[@milesanthony764]

Italy and zombies are great. I dare you to do "Heaven's Gate"! 😂

[@willkayl8793]

Crazy how the best acting in the film is performed by an untrained little kid.
