This movie is difficult to describe. It is best seen late at night (Very late) with a few drinks and many friends. It's a hilarious piece of movie ephemera. Be warned that there are multiple random 'interlude' scenes sliced into the movie, all of which are strange, only a few of which are funny. They add to the weird charm of the film, however.If you are easily offended or if you worship at the altar of the Night of the Living Dead as a masterpiece of film-making, it may not be the film for you.However, it's truly one of the silliest, most irreverent things I've ever seen.Basically, if you have the opportunity, you should watch this!"Tuna sandwich?"

A re-dub of Night of the Living Dead, the people who actuallyproduced this probably had a whole lot of free time, and a wholelot of inside jokes which made them talk about doing this for likesix or seven minutes before they actually went and DID it, probablyin a week.The jokes are really dumb, to the point of being hilarious, if yousee this movie in a group of people who can heckle it, or just sitthere and stare at the screen, incredulous. It definitely makes forsome excellent after-quoting (when you and someone else quotethe movie at each other randomly in an irrelevant context), and inevery social group I've heard of this movie being shown in, it'sbecome a cult classic. The only surprise is that there isn't anational cult dedicated to it.That said, some hard-core bad movie fan friends of mine reallyjust think this movie is dumb. Even ones with senses ofhumor...but they're the minority. While it may not be worth buying a$50 copy of it on eBay just to see it in the first place, you are less ofa human being if you pass up the chance to watch it for the firsttime.

Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil, Mutant, Alien, Flesh Eating, Hellbound, Zombified Living Dead Part 2: In Shocking 2-D...geez, what a title. This is absolutely bizarre. That's all I have to say about this. George Romero's masterpiece of zombie horror, Night of the Living Dead, has never been seen quite like this. The filmmaker (if you can call him that) here has taken Romero's vision, wiped the soundtrack out, and re-dubbed the entire movie by himself...sound effects and all. But then, at random intervals, strange footage, songs, and jokes about former presidents and historical figures are placed in and I became completely stupefied. Some of the jokes work and some don't but it's still worth watching just to brag that you've seen it. As I understand it, this is one of the rarest videos ever. Good luck with the hunt.

Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil, Mutant, Alien, Flesh Eating, Hellbound, Zombified Living Dead Part 2: In Shocking 2-D (that's the definite title) is quite the spoof. It looks like a cross between a Zombie movie, Naken Gun and something that would look like if me and my friends tried to make a spoof with a camcorder. It is sometimes confusing (where else are you going to see zombie action cut off by a documentary), however it is gleefully dumb and it works to it's advantage. The funniest thing of course is the new dialog placed in over the classic Night of the Living Dead action, however that isn't the only thing to look for. A-

I'd been hearing about this movie for years and finally got the chance to see it recently. The idea is fantastic- take a classic horror movie, rip out the soundtrack and make your own parodying it. Unfortunately, the majority of the jokes made fall into one of two categories: racist or bowel-movement related, neither of which I find particularly funny. I wasn't expecting anything extraordinary, and certainly not anything classy, but there were much better jokes that could have been made given the opportunities available. They made what could have been awesome boring and mildly off-putting instead. That being said, there were several moments that were funny if not hilarious interspersed throughout, keeping me just entertained enough to keep watching.

Funny concept, not especially funny to sit through. I wished I was drunk. I appreciate the creative recreation of the dialoge and the revamping of some of the characters. That was funny. It just wasn't funny enough. I think that the creator Lowell Mason, must have known this and had to insert his own `boredom breaks'. So throughout the whole film there are short films that he did or just fireworks. That kind of stuff made it a bit more interesting and definitely gave it a `what the.' factor. It's worth a watch if you need something for a party.
1 out of 1 people found the following comment useful :- Would be funnier if it was actually funny, 30 September 2009 Author: ithearod
But it isn't. Funny, that is.If you wanted to, you could just skip this review right now and read some of the other spot-on reviews, reviews which also rate this mess a 1 out of 10. Everything those reviews say is absolutely true - the fourth-grade humor, the monotonous "jokes", the awful attempts at sounding like different voices (it was just one guy doing all the voices, right? it sure sounds like it).And that's not to mention the EXTREMELY racist and homophobic comments that are spread liberally throughout the entire mess. Try to count how many times the "joke" gets made, "Is he gay? I think he's gay!" Ahh! Oh, I'm laughing so hard right now. Not really. You will lose count, by the way.Just skip it, seriously. No camp, cult, rare, or any other kind of value to be had there.

i actually own this movie, and it is the funniest thing i have ever seen! it is kind of long, and monotonous towards the end, but Lowell Mason is hilarious throughout the entire movie. This movie was so popular at my high school, people were trying to rent it all the time. i know that in massachusetts a particular movie rental store has it....its definitely worth watching if you want a good laugh!

This movie is a bad movie. But it was made to be a bad movie. Lowell Mason, who produced this film, clearly has too much time on his hands. The music, when there is music, is cheesy, The plot is completely ridiculous, and to be honest, its a mockery of the original. Over all, this movie is a nonsensical waste of time. HOWEVER, for those of you who can see past this, who are into cult films, who enjoy bad obscure films, or simply if you have an hour to kill (the movie is longer than an hour, but it gets kinda old) this movie pretty hilarious. This movie definitely has its moments of pure random irrational comedy. For example, if you choose to see it, look for the duck, that kept me laughing for a very long time. Be warned though, you won't be able to sit through the whole thing. So if you liked Plan Nine From Outerspace, you'll love this. It sucks, and that's why we love it.
Gutter humor...delicious delicious gutter humor, 11 November 2009 Author: gt_peter from SF Bay Area
First off, this film is unbearably offensive. Its humor mines every possible racial, sexist, and homophobic stereotype possible. I think the maker of this movie may have made up new offensive references never before imagined. The humor is cheap and sophomoric. In short it is a horrible horrible movie.All of that said...IF you can suspend your offense reflex for the course of the film you will laugh and laugh and laugh. This movie is only watchable while inebriated and with friends. I recommend drinking heavily over the course of the film as the "quality" declines as the movie progresses. If you are doing it right, you should be smashed enough by the end that you do not care. You will either love it or have a strong desire to travel back in time to murder its creator prior to its creation.This movie produces many many quotable lines that can be used after viewing and produces an series of inside jokes that will last you for years (thus the requirement of watching with others).In closing...I ask you "is there a duck in here?"
