Details

When a renegade band of young filmmakers break into an abandoned hospital to make their horror epic, they stumble upon a real dead body and decide to use it in their movie. They accidentally bring it back to life, open a portal to a dead world that releases dozens of other zombies, then struggle for their lives in a desperate attempt to flee from the creatures who apparently have them hopelessly trapped in the hospital.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
badgrrlkane I mean TDHTL is not by no means a great horror film.It is what it is.A low-grade B-movie but it has it's moments of being a cool horror film even w/h it's name-dropping. And it's thankfully a short film though i would like to seen a sequel to see what happens to the 2 main characters after they enter the land Of the Dead. i mean i 've seen way worse horror films, watch death tunnel & you'll think this one is a gem.Good directing from Dave Parker & i actually liked the storyline though the acting was a bit lame. Reminded me at times of low-grade 80's horror but all in all it's what i expected.I think these bad reviews are from people expecting B-horror to be good horror & films such as this one,Boo,nIGHT oF THE Demons etc are not really meant to be good.They appeal to a lovers of B- grade horror films. And w/h this being a horror comedy it's meant to be cheesy.For those who are trying to say it should've been serious well stick w/h more mainstream or actual scary HORROR FILMS.IDO WHEN I WANT TO SEE THAT TYPE OF MOVIE. But when you watch a B-movie you know is a horror comedy don't compare Dead Alive,Evil dead & all the classics as that's not what these movies are even trying to become. I liked this & would recommend it to true fans of silly Horror comedy.And if you hated this stay away from the Sleepaway Camp trilogy.** out of *****
Matt Kracht I love movies. I love horror movies. I love horror movies about zombies. But I did not love this movie. No. I hate horror movies about zombies that try to be witty beyond their limits, and this movie shot for the stars and didn't even make it to the launching pad. This movie promises you gore, zombies, and competent film-making. You will find minor amounts of gore here, yes; and, you will find a couple zombies. The make-up and effects, however, are so fake, it's actually distracting, and it comes across as having been done by some over-eager high school kids who have no professional training. It may very well have been. The promised zombies were perhaps the biggest disappointment. I wasn't asking for much -- I know this movie was supposed to be low budget -- but what's the point of making a zombie movie with just two or three zombies? You might as well just make them escaped lunatics. As far as competent film-making: ugh. The plot was so throw-away, it seemed like a reject from Scream 5 or Scary Movie 8. In fact, I've have had dreams that were way more engrossing than this movie.Will I ever watch this movie again? Yes, I will. I am aiming to educate my friends and loved ones on what it truly means to have seen "the worst movie ever". People are far too free with that phrase, and I want to make sure that they've suffered adequately before they use it. They think, "Oh, I saw that Manos movie on MST3K. That was the worst movie ever!" No. I don't care how many episodes of MST3K you watched. You have not *earned* the right to use that phrase until you have sat through every miserable frame (sober, and without the benefit of witty commentary) of The Howling II: Your Sister Is A Werewolf or Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol. And, now, to this long list of movies that inspire such pain and loathing, I must also add TDHTL.
Mike H This is an interesting movie. There are lots of cool Zombies. There's a zombie in it that looks like Sam Kinison! A Sam Kinison Zombie! He will make you laugh and then he will eat your brains! Watch out, viewers, Sam Kinison zombie will scare you! There's also a fat zombie that looks like the ones in resident evil as well. But, the Sam Kinison Zombie is the best. All in all, this is a great movie for Horror fans. Man, that Sam Kinison zombie, cant get enough of that! It's a very good movie, The Dead Hate the Living. They really show it, too. They really hate the living. I wonder if its because we are alive and they are dead? I think that's the correct answer.
leagueofstruggle The Dead Hate the Living is a zombie movie. One would think the formula for zombie movies would be rather simple. Walking dead, scared individuals, head shots ensue as the dead lumber after the scared protagonists. Instead we get a meandering film that is likely to bore an individual to death. The plot is straightforward enough dumb, young, filmakers in abandoned hospital open one of the Gates to Hell mentioned in Fulci's The Beyond aka Seven Doors of Death. A couple of zombies come out of said gate and mediocre mayhem begins. A lame film that stumbles around not unlike a walking corpse and never really finds its feet.
