Very overrated. Sure it's pretty creepy, but the plot goes just about no-where and the acting is pretty atrocious. Awesome location and ideas, just badly EXECUTED.
Quite boring and ridiculous like all old horror flicks. I love 80s effects in sci-fi and fantasy films, but in horror they just don't work for me at all. Still, not a bad movie.
The fingers in the eyes was pure Gore-Junkie gold !!! & when they explode after ash throws the Book of the Dead into the fire. Those skeletal hands explode out of the last two "deadites" ...
Really great until the ending, when it becomes just a tad ridiculous. If they'd cut the extended "shoot multi-coloured goo from everywhere" crap from the end, it would have been perfect.
the most gory movie of that time, with the possible exception of dead alive. the card scene is my favourite. the first time i saw this movie, i was nine, and my older cousin decided scare the bejesus out of me by making me watch it. i thought it was nothing special until the card part (i couldent understand the idea of tree rape).

Good horror movie for the 80s if you don't take it too seriously. Some impressively disturbing imagery.Paravail
This might be the grossest movie I've ever seen. Damn impressive for what they did on such a small budget.Jashezilla
