Rish Outfield's reviews
The box had a zombie with a button that made its eyes light up--usually a sign that the movie inside will suck. But this was a very solid, at-times very scary horror film. Mental institutions are generally very scary places, but this was one of the most frightening ones. The main villain, with his glowing red eyes and blood-spattered scrubs, really produced dread within me--and that's quite an accomplishment. As the shapely, Shania Twain-looking heroine, Cheryl Lawson was really quite good. Zombies are cool. After the Romero Trilogy and Night of the Creeps, this is the best zombie movie I can think of. Tyranist and I had the 'surprise revelation' figured out an hour before it happened, and the ending was inexplicable and cheap, but when the movie worked--it really cooked.

The tyranist's thoughts
If you had asked me about Zombie movies before I saw this one, I would have told you that as long as you have pretty good make-up, it is easy to make a decent Zombie movie. Unfortunately, I've seen Dead Pit. The best word I can summon is vapid. The plot is pretty bad and the movie tends to move along from bad to just as bad. There are no secrets after the first five minutes of film. The resolution is ludicrous (and poorly done I might add, involving models and way too much water that behaved in a way that made the models painfully obvious). The main bad guy isn't that threatening and even though the Zombie make-up is passing (maybe, it's always to dark to really get a good look), the movie just plays out as a flat, boring movie that doesn't really make me want to even talk about it. There is some pretty gratuitous nudity and Rish and I both giggled feverishly when the title popped up (you'll know when you see\hear it). I would say that if you are a true fan of Zombie movies you should probably see it to be complete, but other than that, you might not want to waste your time.
