Just perfect...

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Absolutely amazing

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

This clearly was met to be a funny parody? Oh, please tell me it was, because its so BAD from every aspect that after the stink of bad becomes affirmed and firmly ingested into your brain, this film is dead, not even funny. So camp that it wreaks.Oh, well, and they say, we all can't make films, wrong. This film shows even the childish and deeply retarded can succeed in film torture.OK, say, I'm 12 years old, a bit bored and nothing else to do. This film becomes a center piece for wasting my perfect 12 year old's day off from school.Sad.

Have to agree that this was really, really not worth watching. And the write up had such promise.The acting was terrible and they spent ages trying to build up characters into an Aliens-type military crew without the acting ability to back them up. Not one of them was convincing in their role. Very, very boring first half hour to the film. Have to say that the skeleton-in-a-cloak character had far more charisma and depth than the main cast! Rest of the film was wondering what on earth was going on and why. (and what was with those goggles?!). This film is also notable for containing the worst round house kick in history.On the plus side, the lead bad guy was actually a million miles better than the rest of the cast and gave a pretty good performance.

Please, people! You can't judge this "film" simply on the merits of its acting and screen writing! It's really all a matter of taste.Think about it. If you happen to *like* bad movies then this would be a *good* movie, now wouldn't it? Ever seen "Showgirls"? "Godfather III"? Classics! And this one is worse - which makes it better!! Get it? Hey, even "War of the Worlds", starring Tom Cruise and directed by Steven Spielberg blew chunks! And that one cost at least 400 times more than this film. And the producers of "Raiders" didn't try to shove some nutty religion down your throat in some tent on the set of the movie. Well...frankly...they could't really afford a tent. But if they could, they would never try to fill your little brain with such nonsense.And this movie has a sword. And Richard Grieco. "21 Jump Street" rules! Hey, what ever happened to that DeLuise guy and the cool Asian butt-kicker guy? That was such a cool show. But even they didn't have swords.I say...see it and judge for yourself. Then, go out and rent it (or buy it if you're smart) and invite your friends over and have a rad double feature with "Showgirls". If you're even smarter, you'll show "Killer Bees" with Michael Caine as a bonus. Or "Trog"! "Trog" is awesome! Hey, if Academy Award nominee Joan Crawford can do a movie with a savage, prehistoric caveman, you can cut this movie some slack and grab some popcorn and have a little Saturday night fun.This movie kicks Zombie booty!

Raiders of the Damned is set in a post apocalyptic world in which a military virus named Agent-9X has created a horde of flesh eating zombies & starts above a 'Restricted Area, Government Quarantined Zone' where a military helicopter flies high above the flesh eating, rotting zombies below. Dr. Wells (Elijah Murphy) & his glamorous assistant Stephanie (Amanda Scheutzow) are conducting research when the zombies fire some rocks from a catapult which downs the helicopter. They are captured at the request of the head zombie dude Colonel Crow (Thomas Martwick) who needs Dr. Wells scientific knowledge as he & his zombie army are rotting away inside the restricted walled off area. A few military survivors also need Dr. Wells to try & put a stop to the airborne virus & the zombies it created, the boss-man Lewis (Richard Grieco) sets a small platoon up consisting of Gena Kane (Laura Zoe Quist), Trejo (Laurie Clemens), Flex (J.C. Austin) & the squad leader Crenshaw (Gary Sirchia) who leads them into the restricted area to do battle with Colonel Crow & his zombies in a bid to retrieve mankind's only hope Dr. Wells...Produced & directed by Milko Davis I have to say that Raiders of the Damned is a terrible film, of that there is no doubt but I saw signs here that at least the filmmakers tried. The script by Mike Ezell is certainly ambitious as it moves along at a pretty good pace & involves helicopters, futuristic weaponry, fights, shoot-outs, talking & thinking zombies, a post apocalyptic world, underground military bases & more but I'm afraid that the filmmakers just didn't have the resource's available to do the decent sounding premise justice. The character's are of the worst clichés you can imagine & the script is simply not fleshed out or expanded upon enough to tell a satisfying & coherent story, I mean how did us humans manage to get all the zombies in one place behind a giant wall? Why don't the military just drop a bomb on them? If all the zombies are trapped inside the restricted area why does everyone live three mile below the surface, why doesn't everyone just move to another continent or something & let the zombies literally rot there? Because of the airborne disease? Well why can't they use protective suits with breathing equipment? Is this film set in the future? No mention of it is made but they seem to have laser guns & futuristic gadgets but still need to use horses to get around? There are so many plot holes & unclear ideas in Raiders of the Damned that it becomes frustrating to watch as it seems to change things all the time. The fact that when you consider all these loose threads it really doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Oh & the underground military survivors divided into two groups, the army & the scientists, reminded me of the infinitely superior Day of the Dead (1985) as it will you...Director Davis was obviously working on a tiny budget & just tries to do too much, from having helicopters shot down which end up looking like graphics in a bad Playstation game to zombie make-up which isn't even glued onto the actors faces properly as you can see their mouths move but their fake chins stay perfectly still. The locations used seem like derelict warehouses & a local wood. There is no atmosphere, tension & there's definitely no scares either & the action scenes are so bland even they become boring. The gore is none existent, a couple of decapitations & a quick slit throat.The budget for this must have been virtually zero, technically Raiders of the Damned is very poor from start to finish in just about every department. The acting wasn't too bad actually & I quite liked Martwick as the main zombie. On another note is this the depths that Richard Grieco has now stooped to to find work? This has to be an all time low even for him!Raiders of the Damned is crap to be sure, it's as simple & straight forward as that but I got the sense that everyone involved tried which ultimately wasn't good enough for me, or you, to waste 90 plus minutes of my life on this but I'll give them some credit for that at least. When all said & done though Raiders of the Damned is one to avoid I'm afraid.
