The Dead Hate the Living
I was very surprised by this movie. It was actually really good! It was about a small group of film makers creating a low-budget horror movie and accidently bring back a bunch of undead corpses. The characters are quickly dispatched in unique and shocking ways. Every death caught me off gaurd, and the gore was ample. There were also a lot of different colors used to give an errie feel to the movie. The only thing about the movie that I had a problem with was with the 'special' efects used in the last 15 minuets of the movie. The scenes with fire and electricity were just awful and looked incredibly fake. Aside from that, it was a clever film and defiantly worth the rental fee. 4 out of 5.
