The Video Dead

A mysterious televison set starts to bring horror movie zombies into the real world and soon the begin offing the neighbors. A pretty cool yet cheesy zombie flick. The only thing that kinda bothered me was the zombies strangled their victims rather than chomping on or eating them. The acting was kinda bad, but a decent amount of blood and gore. 3.5 out of 5.
