Landon J @Minxsykitty 1d The soundtrack seems to be a highlight in a lot of these reviews and I have to agree. A decently average zombie horror slop from the 80's. Definitely good, definitely not super special either. Slop fans will enjoy for sure. See more xpig332 B @RT69712065 Oct 15 4 ⭐️ for the soundtrack, 1 for the movie! See more Nick O @Nicki1985 06/13/2025 See, all ya need are a couple of well known rock n’ roll bands on the soundtrack, one heavy metal bodybuilder, Adam West and you got yourself a zombie-Voodoo-schlock party that really cooks! See more 06/05/2021 Straight out of the suburbs of Montreal, Canada*, Zombie Nightmare was originally written to start black actors but the money people wanted white character names and actors. Yes, that really happened. After baseball practice, William Washington saves Molly Mekembe from two thugs who kill him. A few years later, a similar fate befalls his son Tony (Jon Mikl Thor!) when he stops a robbery and is then hit by a car driven by Bob, Amy (Tia Carrere), Jim (Shawn Levy, who would go on to direct Big Fat Liar, Cheaper by the Dozen and the Night at the Museum movies), Peter and Susie. Tony's mother — wearing the same sweater as Pamela Vorhees — brings in Molly, who is now a voodoo priestess, and then uses her son's zombie form to get revenge on the teenagers. As the murders begin, crooked cop Tom Churchman (Adam West) is on the case and man, he likes to shoot things. I guess that corruption and a love of guns are a few of the prerequisites of being a police officer. Man, the casting for this movie makes me overjoyed. Tony was originally played by bodybuilder Peewee Piemonte, who I assure you is a real person and has been in Barb Wire, My Demon Lover, Under Siege, Weekend at Bernie's II and over three hundred credits for stuntwork. Well, the story is that Piemonte was fired for eating all the craft services and the meals of crew members. Superstar Billy Graham was originally going to play Tony's father, but no one picked hi, up at the airport. Yes, that really happened. Beyond Thor contributing music from his band and doing the soundtrack under the name Thorestra, Motörhead, Virgin Steele, Girlschool, Fist and Death Mask songs are in this movie. There's also a song by Thor's then-wife and backup singer Rusty "Pantera" Hamilton (note that the cover of the DVD says Pantera, which isn't a lie but isn't the truth). As for the director and producer of this movie, Jack Bravman, the majority of his film career was in the adult industry, using names like Wizard Glick, J. Angel Martini and Looney Bear. *Writer John Fasano, who acted in Blood Sisters and painted the poster for Tenement, wanted to set this in his hometown of Port Washington, New York, but they could not get permits. See more 10/21/2017 Good Samaritan is run over by a carload of reckless teens but brought back to life by a female voodoo master to seek revenge. Likely filmed in Quebec as evidenced by the O'Keefe beer and Players cigarettes signs. Not a good move with some horribly choreographed fight scenes but one I would watch again down the line. See more 05/25/2017 The new MST3K Netflix original has been released and I decided to expose myself to some of the old episodes available for streaming on Hulu and Netflix (there is a different random selection on each platform). Whether it is Joel or Mike watching these awful movies with the bots I do not envy the torture they are put through. Their snarky comments add some entertainment value, but my ratings are based on the movie's quality itself and not the extra material broadcast from the satellite of love. Adam West plays it straight as an inept police captain in this 80s horror schlock. The strangely buff zombie and draw of the sexy "teens" (like Tia Carrere early in her career) are not enough to keep this mess engaging. See more Read all reviews
