Toxic Zombies - 1980

Also known as Bloodeaters, Bloodeaters: Butchers of the Damned, The Dromax Derangement, and Forest of Fear.

I've been craving zombie movies lately, and this came up as a suggestion when I finished Zombie 3 on Tubi.  Guys, get on Tubi, it has the most cult films I have ever seen on one platform.

Toxic Zombies was the vision of one man, a man with a bizarre story to tell:  Senior Vice President at a corporation Charles McCrann.  This guy was a corporate America big wig who worked in the fucking Twin Towers and died there on September 11th, but that was 21 years after he wrote, directed, produced and starred in this fucking weird ass zombie movie?

The movie starts promisingly.  A girl bares those big ol titties and rubs em down with water while people wander through some marijuana fields.  Awesome.  The idea is that out in the mountains somewhere theres this illegal weed farm, and these inbred rednecks dump some sort of experimental toxin all over their weed crops, and it ends up turning them into zombies.  Naturally.  

This movie is a blast.  It was labeled as a Video Nasty, again, and so I'm working my way through the list of those that exist.  It also had a weird history, obviously, and when things are this strange, they usually as a total wtf situation.  This one joins those ranks.  

It's not bad either!  I mean to an average movie watcher they'll hate it but to us, to me, it's good!  It's a good culty smokey drive in horror movie with dumb zombies and some good kills and it comes from the heart!  I wonder if Charles McCrann was happy with it?

I'll give it 4 stars.
