Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
Absolutely Fantastic
Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
This movie has some solid qualities that make it stand out far from the slew of 80's horror movies. If you like campy horror films with a sense of humor, then go find yourself a copy of this movie. I think the characters are a good mix of personalities. The action is kind of lame at first but picks up towards the end and the gore is half decent. This is a classic B movie entry that I had never heard of, nor knew anyone that has seen it. Troma bought the rights to it though they did not produce it. I hope it makes its way onto DVD.For being a practically unknown movie, it definitely delivers entertainment. Even though I wouldn't consider it a serious horror movie, I think it does a lot of things better than the so called serious horror movies.
James Riffel's "Dead Dudes in the House" has to be one of Troma's best.There is plenty of gore,some scary scenes plus a lot of cheese.The plot involves a group of young people going to fix up an old secluded house and falling victim to the murderous 100 year old lady named Abigail who proceeds to slash them up and bring them back as zombie-like killers."Dead Dudes in the House" is loaded with plenty of gore and violence.The script is pretty mediocre and there are some dull spots,but overlook that and you have an enjoyable low-budget gorefest.The scene,where one guy is cut in half by window is a hoot.Check it out,if you can find it.7 out of 10.
How can this movie go wrong?This is simply slasher fun. The plot is somewhat original for a horror movie...Eight friends spend the weekend fixing an old house, little they know that it's owner is still living there. That may sound normal, just ignoring the fact that the owner is already DEAD (murdered 50 years before). One of this teens has the great idea of smashing a grave in the backyard,as a reaction the owner instantly awakens from the dead!! The fun begins. One by one this teens get brutally killed by the owner (a creepy 100 year old woman!), then they return to life as zombies. In order to get out of the house, the survivors have to kill the old woman and the rest of the non living habitants.The creepy house, the effective score, plenty of gore, and some scary situations make this a fun slasher. Check out the scene where this guy tries to escape opening a window in the second floor, when he's about to jump the window closes chopping him in two. Apparently watching, the old lady throws him a stick pole from the second floor impaling this guy's torso to the ground.I recommend this movie if you are a fan of the genre, you will not be disappointed. Ignore the fact that it's produced by Troma, they were not involved at all.
This is how low-budget horror movies should be made. While the story could have used a bit of tweaking for the most part the film was creepy and suspenseful. The old lady is particularly effective. One drawback is the acting, it is a bit below par and detracts from the suspense as does much of the dialogue. There are a few plotholes, some of the dead that return don't go on the hunt for the living humans while most do...why? Also a bit of reason as to why anybody comes back could have been added. Other then that for the budget involved it's quite enjoyable. A silly 30 second introduction to the old lady at the beginning of the movie could have been left out as it does nothing for the film and only made me laugh. If you are looking for a film to scare you this just might do it, but don't expect anything too glossy. Especially good to watch with your girlfriend as she will be clinging to you almost right from the beginning. Rating 6 out of 10. Not too bad.
