Zombie |

My Rating System: The b-movies and cult films reviewed here at the Vault are rated according to their "radioactivity." The more radioactive a film is, the better it is! Anything that doesn't cause you to glow in the dark or mutate is probably not worth watching, but then again, to be a well-rounded b-movie enthusiast, you have to watch bad movies from time to time.
Rating | Measurement on the Geiger Counter | In Other Words... |
|
Highly Radioactive! You may grow a new appendage primarily used to rewind a movie of this caliber, over and over again! |
This movie is the best of the best! Tons of fun and highly rewatchable! |
|
Very Radioactive! May cause you to grow a third eye, thus making your viewing experience even more enjoyable! |
This movie makes for a worthwhile viewing experience. |
|
Radioactive! The T.V. will bask in your glow! |
This movie is a good way to kill some time on a boring evening or rainy afternoon. |
|
Somewhat Radioactive. More radiation and enjoyment can be had by sticking your head in a microwave at ten second intervals. [Note: Doing so is, in reality, hazardous to your health! Don't try it at home kids!] |
This movie is a waste of your precious time. Still, it probably has a few redeeming qualities... |
|
Partially Radioactive. Hardly any detectable amounts of radiation. [You'll find more radioactivity in a septic tank, which is where these types of movies belong!] |
OUCH! This movie is painful to watch; may cause medical problems. |
|
Hardly Radioactive. A brief blip on the geiger counter that is usually ignored for the betterment of humanity. |
This rating is usually used in conjunction with others, however, if a film registers at only a "half-rad" then dispose of it immediately or suffer the consequences! |
|
Not Radioactive. Since our geiger counters can't detect these flicks, many still hide in obscurity to this day. That's probably for the best. |
Certain death awaits all who watch this! Ye have been warned! |
