It has been a little while since my last post. School and important things have popped into my life again but nothing can stop my horror movie madness! so after a long day I sat down and enjoyed THE GRAPES OF DEATH! on DVD
This movie always intrigued me. The DVD has a bright pink cover, the back cover shows some scenes of intense gore, and The Grapes of Death is just a crazy (but fitting) name for a movie. I never really knew what it was all about until now.

I would throw this movie into the Zombie genre. Films like Night of the Living Dead and Let Sleeping Corpses Lie were swimming through my head as I was watching but The Grapes of Death holds its own in being an original zombie flick. Much like Let Sleeping Corpses Lie, the zombie approach of "Grapes" comes from environmental issues with pesticides. The local affected area home to a winery (this is where we get the grapes) which is using infected grapes and turning everyone into crazy rotting zombies. Of course not much other than that is explained in the movie but the main point I think they were trying to get across was Pesticides + Vegitation = zombies, blood, and severed heads. Which of course also makes for one hell of a cool movie!
One thing that stood out as I was watching was the surroundings. The filming locations were excellent creepy goodness. Perfect for zombies. Aside from atmosphere this movie has quite a few nasty gore soaked scenes that are sure to remain memorable.
I rate this movie 4 out of 5
This movie is a must see for zombie lovers! Check this one out!
