Dreadfully Boring

Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

As bad as Return of the Living Dead: Necropolis, and it was (very), Rave to the Grave is even worse, few if any horror film series have ended on such a thud as much as the Return of the Living Dead did with this.Necropolis at least had some pretty good zombie make-up and one cool song saving it from total doom. Rave to the Grave has neither, making all of Necropolis' flaws and amplifying them to worse degrees as well as making more on the way. Like Necropolis, this movie is incredibly poorly made, camera work is haphazard and unfocused, editing is sloppy by making scenes interminably dull and sometimes incomplete-feeling, there is a complete lack of atmosphere and the special effects and pathetic zombie make-up looked like very last minute jobs. The music is once again overbearing and takes one out of the movie completely.Rave to the Grave's direction is incompetent, to call it anything like flat or sloppy would be insulting to those words and tension, fun (it even manages to be far too tiresome to have any kind of novelty value) and suspense is non-existent. The script is filled to the brim with stilted lines and misplaced and grating humour and what anything remotely resembling a story is thin, dull, dumb and sometimes incoherent with zero scares and even less tension. Once again the zombies, as well as looking bad this time around, are very underused and are both goofy and lifeless, you never feel the menace at all.The characters are paper thin and irritating and the acting is some of the laziest and most obnoxious of any movie I've seen recently. Overall, Necropolis may be and still is a disgrace but this final entry is even more so and by far the worst of the series. 1/10 Bethany Cox

Gifted director Ellory Elkayem pulls off one of the most difficult feats in cinema in bringing to the screen one of the most clever dark comedies in some time. Using his camera like a finely tuned instrument, he creates an atmosphere that is both sinister and outrageous simultaneously. He skilfully incorporates Romanian locations into the film and makes the slightly foreign background work for him in many of his most visionary shots. Aaron Stongoni and William Butler must be given due credit for supplying Elkayem with a script that is quite dark yet manages to be uproariously funny as well. Although the entire cast have superlative comic abilities, Peter Coyotee is a standout in a rare funny turn as Uncle Charley, one of the most memorable characters he has played on screen in years. For the entire movie, there is barely a missed opportunity to bring on the belly laughs while scaring us half to death in the process. Do not miss the closing shot, one of the truly hilarious final scenes in cinema and one that is sure to elicit side- splitting spasms. In its own way, it is as brave as the lengthy dramatic shots that close Carol Reed's classic, The Third Man, and Antonioni's Jack Nicholson masterpiece, The Passenger. But Elkayem is a courageous film maker who takes a swing and hits it out of the park like those aforementioned great auteur's. It is a bold choice and has all the impact of the last line of Billy Wilder's comedy jewel, Some Like It Hot. It is quite refreshing indeed to see a creative director risk doing something so stunningly original.

It pretty much starts from the first second of the movie, when you realize it's direct sequel of ROTLD:necropolis, it suffers from all the same problems as the first one, so I see no point to go on the long rant as I did there, so yeah - this movie takes all necropolis's mistakes and "improves" them(in a bad way). So technically it's worse, but you won't be shocked too much of it's suckery if you'll watch necropolis first and if you're wondering - creators made sure that even that little bunch of people who have found somewhat entertaining in the previous film would hate this one, because it can't even get it's own idiotic story right. ROTLD franchise ended with the third movie(some may say with the first one, but I digest) and 4 and 5 parts shouldn't be even considered being in the same category.

wow were to start.. OK first off all the reviews that said it suxed were true, i was actually having an open mind on this movie considering all the bad reviews. The story is bad, SO many plot holes, and gore that makes Mr. jingles look decent, i mean who ever gave this guy who directed it rights needs to quit the business.. i'm a HUGE die hard zombie fan but this.. i don't even know what happened. The ending was what REALLY screwed this movie over.. i'd rather sit through tourestas again(which is also a bad movie) then watch this piece of crap again. i gave it a 2 cause some of the humor.. very little but some made me chuckle. don't waste your time with this one.
