  a campy zombie movies from the 80s, what more could you ask for?

  i genuinely don’t know how this movie got two sequels when nothing about this stood out or was impressive—or even likable. 

  the only likable character was probably the pest control guy we see for a minute or the lady with the doll. the soundtrack wasn’t anything special. the kills weren’t anything special. art’s design doesn’t strike me as particularly unique, either. i’m just really struggling to see the appeal?

  i think there’s just sooo…
