Myself and a couple of pals watched this last night (after my mate going on about this for a year or so), and I gotta tell ya this is shite.First off I read on IMDb this was FUNNY, GORY and WELL MADE..you've got to be joking!!! It had maybe two funny moments in it, gore...well there is blood and some intestines, but thats about it, acting is almost embarrassing, these people trying to act out retarded people...not one actor even comes across as retarded, just painfully bad acting.One line someone says "YOU EVER RODE A ZOMBIE HORSE", I'm thinking this could be quite cool, expecting it to happen...It doesn't! Obviously people out there DO actually like even love this film, but Im a massive horror fan...and this is complete poo.If you're expecting the next 'EVIL DEAD'. you are going to be sorely disappointed.I gave it 3/10, that is being generous...it gets 2 points just for the poster, that is good I'll give 'em that.

Im Special Dead zombies attack Camp Special Dude a campground for the mentally disabled. The campers and workers try to survive and escape led by the owners son who is the best comedy horror character since Ash. The other brilliant character is the guy who plays the guitar and throws in lyrics about what he'd like to do to various women - I couldn't resist using his best line as my review title.The only thing really holding this movie back is the black character who adds nothing whatsoever to this film and just seems to be in it so equally rubbish rap music can swell up on the soundtrack. He's involved in a couple of amusing scenes but the only bits of this movie I actually found unpleasant to watch or offensive involved him. Laughing at spastics isn't very pc but in the context of this movie I found it fine, intimating that you are going to rape a woman you hijacked and the endless crap about guns isn't funny or really very interesting. If they'd cut that nonsense out I would have said this is a 7/10.Despite this drawback The Special Dead is a great zombie movie full of funny scenes and amusing characters, it's definitely worth a watch.

That line made the entire movie worth the watch. The character of Todd Slater is off the hook funny. His relationship with Dale Stone is one of the funniest, cutest and weird relationships in film. Yeah, yeah, I know I am talking about a zombie film dealing with the mentally handicapped, but that doesn't mean you can't have fun and endearing characters. There is enough blood and gore in this movie to keep even the most hardcore zombie fans interested. But the movie does not take itself seriously and that is what makes the movie work. It knows it is a zombie comedy and it knows it is a low budget movie at that, but that is what makes the movie. Funny, funny, funny, funny, funny and even funny. That is the best way to describe this great zombie drive in movie.

I saw Special Dead over the weekend at the Hollywood Film Festival and it was a whole bunch of fun! The movie was creative. Yes it was low budget and had some technical flaws. But overall, the story was fun to watch. Some scenes, like the one with campfire and the guy with the nun-chucks, were very funny. Other scenes were very bloody. As someone who likes this type of movie, I left the theater knowing I had seen a cult classic. I really hope I can rent/buy it soon. This is the perfect midnight cult movie. If you like zombie movies and are looking for a silly take on the whole zombie thing, then this is a good movie. If you don't have a sense of humor, you might not like this movie. This movie gets my vote as a Bloody Gem.
