Watch The Burning Dead For Free

Sadly Over-hyped

Nice effects though.

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Don't Believe the Hype

I wish I could say, I came up with that, but it's the actual German title this movie received. This might be the best thing about the movie, though to be fair, you should know this is low budget. Still we get better movies and better acting and better everything with similar budgets. Unless you're the biggest Danny Trejo fan, you might want to steer clear from this one.Though even if you are, remember: It's not really his vehicle, he just has a small part in it. The story or the idea rather is pretty out there, which makes it almost likable. Unfortunately too many things go south/wrong, that cannot be helped or overseen.

Creatively fresh and brilliantly original, this film has a heroic sheriff attempting against all odds to save a family from an erupting volcano and the cursed zombies that are set free by the event. These are not the clichéd undead populating every zombie film cranked out. Incredibly well done special effects and CGI work show lava filled creatures unlike anything ever seen before and they are stunning. Brought to life by a curse, their barbarity is breathtaking and there are breathtaking sequences of volcanic explosiveness of true realism. The imagery created by director Rene Perez and the performances he coaxes from his actors are both haunting in their intensity. Danny Trejo is particularly superb in what must be ranked as one of his finest performances. The thrills and momentum of the film never diminish and as a cinema horror adventure, it is both a tremendous experience and deeply satisfying.

I love zombie movies... However, this can't even be considered a zombie movie! The cinematography is absolutely horrible, the visual effects (or lack of) are a waste of time and the acting isn't even good enough to be called, "B Movie" acting! The whole synopsis is a joke. I will give the writer props for thinking of a new and inventive way of thinking about zombies but... The zombies appear when a volcano erupts green rocks. As the rocks hit the ground, suddenly zombies (if you can call them that) appear and rise from the ground. Danny Trejo has been in a lot of, "B Movies" some of which I actually enjoyed, but even this is beneath him. If I was able to rewind the clock and never waste my time watching this movie, I would.

This made me laugh more than anything else.Bad. Bad. Bad. Special effects were terrible as was the acting. Danny Trejo, I have no idea why he is in all these bad movies, but even so his ability as an actor is not what you would call award winning!. Rene Pere, well this was the movie to make me steer away from anything else that he directs. I know of other directors who can create wonderful movies with great dialogues and story lines but this film? What a waste of time and money. I, myself would be embarrassed to show this work to the public.Apart from bad acting and bad effects, there were numerous errors within the movie which made you laugh. Did anyone review the movie for inconsistencies?I suppose fans of B grade movies will enjoy this. Actually, maybe we create a Z Grade category for films which are worse than worse!
