When I asked the mouthpiece of our future AI overlords CHATGPT for a list of the top 10 zombie movies of all time, it was that. It was spot on. I asked it for the best zombie movie and it gave me 28 days later. Fair. And so we agreed. The best and the top 10. So I then went there an asked it for the worst zombie movie of all time. It’s answer was the 1986 ZOMBIE NIGHTMARE starring Adam West. It was directed by porno movie director Jack Bravman, which explains a lot.

“Widely panned for its laughable acting, incoherent plot, and painfully low production values, Zombie Nightmare is often cited as a textbook example of how not to make a horror film. Even a cameo by Adam West couldn’t save it from becoming an unintentionally comedic cult disaster.”

2.7/10 IMDB 15% RT

And so that is this episode.

Now, I have a German version of the DVD and for some reason the language setting isn’t changing to English, and so am watching it in German. Starring Adam West who was only on set for 2 days, Tia Carrera in her debut movie release, Jon Mikl Thor and an over the top Shawn Levy who would go on to direct the Deadpool movies. The soundtrack for you metalheads has Motorhead, Girlschool, Thor, Deathmask, and Fist.

It was very 1980s. very very 1980s. Not as bad as CHATGPT reported. It is certainly better than Night of the flatulating dead and Transit 17. I would put my zombie movie credentials on the line and say it’s a 3.5 putting it above 40 and more movies. It was basic. But I liked parts of it. The idea that a voodoo priestess can use a zombie for revenge was good, and that the zombie can get revenge for its own death. The deaths were not great. None of the acting was other than OTT Shawn Levy and Adam West, and Frank Deitz as Frank.

3.5/10 not as bad as AI reports.
