SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Leofwine_draca TEENAGE ZOMBIES is a Z-grade B-movie from the notorious Jerry Warren. The "plot", loosely described as such, features some typically annoying and overaged teenagers who end up on a remote island resort run by a female mad scientist who has a passion for turning ordinary people into mindless zombies. There's just one sad-looking zombie hanging around for much of the running time and the bulk of the action exists in a mere five minute window. Elsewhere, there's a lot of 'groovy' dialogue and an equally sad-looking gorilla lurking about the scenery. This is bargain basement stuff, which looks and feels entirely low budget, silly, and unworthy of a viewer's attention - that is, unless you're a seasoned purveyor of cinematic badness.

a_chinn Uber cheap teen horror film makes a Samuel Z. Arkoff production look like something by Samuel Goldwyn. And oddly enough, there are no teenage zombies. The story is instead about a group of teenagers being captured after snooping around an evil scientist's private island, who are then experimented on by the scientists. Pretty bad Z-grade stuff.

Scott LeBrun Yet another masterpiece from that ever reliable Jerry Warren, "Teenage Zombies" tells of two young studs, Regg (Don Sullivan, "The Giant Gila Monster") and Skip (Paul Pepper) and their two girlfriends Julie and Pam (Mitzie Albertson and Brianne Murphy). For kicks, they like to go water skiing. They end up marooned on an isolated island, held captive by mad scientist Dr. Myra (Katherine Victor), who's conducting experiments in making mindless slaves out of humans.Although one of Warrens' better efforts, relatively speaking, this is still bad enough to induce some hearty chuckles. Good atmosphere regularly competes with a sometimes dull and plodding pace, and a script with more talk than action. Among the delights on display are a wild gorilla (Mitch Evans) and a hulking, blank eyed henchman named Ivan (towering Chuck Niles, who's an absolute hoot). Since Dr. Myra is being bankrolled by enemies of the state, this allows for some intrigue as part of the scenario - but don't expect very much in the way of actual "teenage zombies".The acting in this sort of fare may never have been destined to pick up lots of awards, but it's sincere enough to get the job done. Regg and Skip are strapping heroes who engage in scuffles and fisticuffs with the bad guys, while Julie and Pam aren't required to do much. Victor, who was a Warren regular, is pretty amusing as the aloof, evening gown wearing Dr. Frankenstein wannabe. Mike Concannon is good as the local Sheriff who has a twist in store for all of us.Must viewing if you totally dig the groovy and cheap side of 50s sci-fi cinema.Five out of 10.

a_baron What can be said of this black and white film? Well, the title is misleading because we don't actually see any zombies to speak of. It was clearly made on a shoestring, but today there are kids making better films on YouTube with smaller budgets or no budgets at all.The formula is not exactly new and wasn't then, a group of teens stumble onto a plot by an evil scientist, in this case a lady scientist who is clearly in the pay of some unspecified foreign power, they are captured, or some of them are, but at the end of the day good triumphs over evil, and youth over experience, they save the world, or at least America, and...All very predictable, but nothing too offensive, and bad as it may be, next to anything directed by Snoopy Green, "Teenage Zombies" is far from totally unwatchable.
