I saw "Song of the Dead" in NYC at the Pioneer Theater. I'm shocked that someone called it low-budget. I thought it was shot on 35mm. Plus it was full of special effects that looked real. I love zombie movies and this film might just rank up there with "Dawn of the Dead" and "Zombie" in my book. I just need to see it a few more time.
This film really has 2 sides. One side is a campy, fun adventure with singing and dancing, the other side is a smart political satire that is well written and beautifully acted. Kate Gorman (Sandy) and Conrad Gubera (Harold) are a great pair as a father and daughter zombie fighting team. Having two sides makes this film an instant classic. I could see this on stage. Check it out Broadway people. I want the DVD ASAP! If you want another "Rocky Horror Picture Show" then don't go see this film. It's no "Rocky Horror", "Song of the Dead" is actually a thought provoking, good film that's also a lot of fun.
