Raiders of the Living Dead

“They are evil. They are dead. They are ravenous...”

Premium Crap. CrapScore 70, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
A teenager turns a videodisc player into a weapon against resurrected prisoners. The home-entertainment science is the great attraction, while the scattered investigation and odd soundtrack make reaching the next piece of nonsense an adventure of its own.
