Skip to the last 20 or 30 minutes with CSPWDT, and then things get better.

I may try again with it sometime

You guy's aren't alone. CSPwDT is abysmal.

Making up for it now by watching From Dusk Til Dawn on E4, may even order the Titty Twister edition too while I'm at it

[Make Them Die Slowly]

I have vague memories of enjoying "Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things" but having not seen it since the early 80s my memory may in fact be from the countless reviews I've read of it rather than reality.

Funny you should say that, I thought I'd seen it before until I put it on earlier and realised I hadn't

Not spearheading 'The Backlash', but I did quite like the rise of the zombies which I seem recall is soundtracked by weird 'Clangers' type electronics. Not much justification for the boring lead up, although I remember for some reason enjoying the fact that all the characters seemed like total dicks.
'Deathdream' is immense IMO - would make a great depressing zombie trio with 'I, Zombie' and, erm, 'Zombie Driller Killer'.

I imagine that happens to most people at some point in their viewing life. It's happened to me a few times.

That destroys any film for me. You have to sympathise for at least one character in a film.

I've just watched the trailer for CSPWDT. It looks great! I wasn't going to buy it but now I'm not so sure.

Must've been my great review ha ha
It was nice and cheap
