Hard Rock Zombies DVD Review

I have to admit the first half hour of this movie was not getting me sufficiently pumped for the ensuing zombie fest but payoff at the end of the movie is huge. Here’s what little of plot I can try to describe:
A band on tour stops in a small California town where they pick up a hitchhiker and some underage girl. Also there’s something going on with a man with binoculars and two little people and some girl who likes to drown dudes and cut off their hands and keep them in jars. And the little people like to watch old folks doin’ it. Only the old folks turn out to be Hitler and Eva Brown (who is also a werewolf). Hitler kills the members of the band, who come back to life because earlier that day one them recorded a song that he found in an old book which happens to bring dead things back to life. So the Hard Rock Zombies kill Hitler and the little people, who in turn become zombies. The undead band plays a bitchin’ concert and soon the whole town is zombies. The movie ends when all the zombies get locked in one of Hitler’s gas chambers.
Oh yeah, and the one midget tries to eat a cow, and other one eats himself! And that one chick who carries around her boyfriend’s head? See there a lot of those kind of moments in the movie that will fill your drunken conversations for years to come, provided you can find someone else to talk about it with. The wifey and I had a great time watching it.
Amazon has Hard Rock Zombies for only $6.98 which is an absolute steal for this much fun. If you are able to watch it with a sense of humor and overlook some of the poor production values you’ll have a good time.
On a more personal note, the songs were for the most part terrible but the latin song they sing to raise the dead is SWEET and my band MUST cover it.
