Blaidd_Drwg AHAHA... I rented this movie back when I was in 8th grade and having a movie night with a friend. We were like "oo, this sounds really scary!" So we watched it, and laughed our butts off the whole way through. In all honest, the only thing I remember from the movie is "oo, zombie sex!" Well, that, and the acting was not that great. I think this would be a good movie to watch if you're stoned, drunk, or both. Maybe not event then. I don't know. I'm notorious for liking bad movies, and even I didn't like it. That should say something. This movie is so not memorable, that I can't even think of ten lines to write about it. I seem to remember the cheesy graphics though. Oh, I also remember thinking that the girl who ends up being the zombie for the "zombie sex" was pretty hot.

insomniac_rod For some moments I felt as I was watching a late 80's slasher flick because some basic elements of the slasher genre were being displayed and mainly because the cinematography is pretty bad. The reality: since year 2000 many slashers and big budget horror films have turned the media's attention to the horror genre, but sadly, the genre once again has become the dark sheep of the industry. But producers don't give a damn if there's quality or not, they just want to sell mediocre films to a new generation that obviously doesn't know much about the genre's defininig movies. That's why most of these newbies in the genre accept anything!POTD has that 80's feeling for some moments but it isn't enough in these days to succeed in the genre. A group of "teens" (play the Ouija board just to awaken 2 dead prisoners buried down in the surroundings of Kristoff's (the rich owner) house. Soon after the prisoners enter the house to begin the slaughter, these teens start their own private party having sex and smoking weed. One by one these teens are killed by the prisoners, expect for Kristoff who drives to the town (I can't remember why). Kristoff knows the diabolic past of his house so he faces the prisoners knowing the only way to put an end to the nightmare...The characters weren't exactly teens as the actors/actresses were on their late 20's/early 30's. The best thing about this movie is Debra Mayer who is hot as hell! Whenever she appears she looks very sensual and seems that she was in the search for sex. The main character, Kristoff, did a decent job as the hero of the film. There's almost no gore, sex, or scary scenes. PRISON OF THE DEAD is a lame addition to this new turn the slasher genre has taken in the 21th century. But at least it tries to emulate the feeling of the 80's slasher films. FOOL MOON PICTURES deserves a mention as a direct to video company that tries to keep alive the genre. Watch it only if you are a DIE HARD fan of the genre, because if not, you'll be bored and mad for spending 5 bucks on this. Watch it at your own risk.2/10

innocuous but this is a bit of an underachievement, even by my standards.First, the positive aspects of this film: The acting is actually passable, especially when compared to some classic B-Movies. The setting and atmosphere are pretty good. The plot actually has some promise. Finally, it's short.Now the bad things about this film: There is no sexuality or gore in this movie. Really. I don't understand how it even got an "R" rating instead of a "PG-13" as there's not even partial nudity and no overt gore. I guess it was the language. For example, there's a sex scene where both characters get intimate...while both are still in their underwear. (To be honest, the female character has apparently brought a negligee to the funeral home for a viewing, which I think demonstrates some forethought.) And every time a sharp object is brought down, the camera cuts away to a discreet spray of fake blood. The action itself is completely confined to three or four rooms in the strangest funeral home I've ever seen. It's a combination working funeral home, ruined prison, and fully furnished (with clean towels and hot water) caretaker's house. Go figure.Anyway, don't waste your time unless you're a fan of the director's or one or more of the actor's.

whitemale2000 Contrary to other reviews of this movie, I thought it actually was worth a second and third watch. starts out spooky and ends spooky. very suspenseful without one of those twisted hard to follow "plots" like in bigger budget movies. filmed nicely, effects are decent, acting is not bad, this is a big budget B movie. i've seen a lot of garbage on video and this is not one of them. if you want to see crap, rent VENGEANCE OF THE DEAD, just pure sewer bilge, but the main character is nice to look at, so it's not all bad...
