Biker Zombies from Detroit is not worth watching. Trust me, I'm the type of guy who watches every horror movie I can, and who tries to see the best in even the worst of films, but this "movie" is no film. It looks and sounds like it was recorded on an iphone. The script does not flow, and the actors trip on their own lines. They must have been so concentrated on saying the script exactly as it was written that they lost the natural sound of conversation. With a name like Biker Zombies from Detroit you know not to expect the greatest plot, but at least you got what it promised. Lots of bikes, decent zombie costumes, and some gore. Another chief problem with this film were the props, costumes, and setting. The filmmakers must have used what they had. The actors wore the clothes that they no doubt wear every day of their life. The settings included their own homes, and the local dinner in their hometown. I'm sure the actors, and film crew had a fun time filming this, thinking that they are becoming part of a genre that they enjoy, but this film is just an exercise in fandom, nothing more.

OUCH, No real need to say anything else. This movie actually had me contemplating suicide. As a huge fan of the wonderful genre that is zombie movies I found this to quite possibly be the worst attempt I have ever been privy too. The film never actually seemed to go ANYWHERE! What was the point to it all, I am left feeling hopeless and lost. Hell this was so bad i cant even justify bashing it anymore. I'm just gonna go hang myself in the closet. OK now I tried to submit my comment but the server will only accept comments that are ten lines or more. So here it goes... Bad, horrible, no where near enough gore. NO TITS!!!!!!How can you have a Zombie movie without tits. As a matter of fact the female lead had one hell of a rack and the only reason I watched the film to completion was in order to maybe by chance get a glimpse. NOPE! Of course there was one line that does deserve mentioning, a line I am looking forward to using myself someday (when i just feel the need to get my face smacked) "This hog isn't going to smoke itself" This movie is bad, so bad.

I'm big into acting, writing, and directing, but not famous yet. My friends and I frequently rent bad movies, just for fun and a good laugh, but when we went to the local Family Video and found a movie called Biker Zombies From Detroit, we knew it was gonna be the worst movie of all time and it was! Biker Zombies From Detroit has no script! They can say they do have one, but they're liars! There was a 4 minute scene of just two guys riffing about women and sexuality, and you could tell it was improvised. And if they're going to improv, it should be at least decent, but it wasn't, and you could tell by the two actors screwing up lines and saying stuff that didn't even make sense.
To give you an idea of how terrible and retarded this movie is, here's the beginning: a girl flicks a guy off, he punches her in the face and beats her up, then rapes her. Then we see zombies who attack and they both turn into zombies.
This is the beginning of the movie! Not to mention the lead zombie voice over that carries through the whole movie, trying to be sinister and thought provoking, but sounding like Marylin Manson having a conniption fit.
Worst movie ever. Bottom line, folks. But watch it if you like movies with no script, no plot, bad acting, bad editing, bad music, and over 100 F words used in the movie.
If this can hit video stores, my future films are gonna win Oscars.

Finally a responsible drinking game movie
tnyfunga4 January 2005
Biker Zombies from Detroit. A title that says it all. Now if you are reading this comment then you must have read some if not all of the other comments. A very verbal bunch don't you think? The reason for this is obvious if you have watched the classic cult movie that is Bikers (we call it that for short). But the problem is that most people have apparently missed the point of this production. I not only saw this movie but also actually had the opportunity to meet someone who actually worked on it (they were in a drunken stupor when they confessed).
As it turns out those higher powers that were responsible for this movie knew with a title like "Biker Zombies from Detroit" that they had an instant drinking game on the hands. One of those games that when those who are indulging in joys of inebriation watch certain films or TV shows that anytime a predictable word or gesture is produced all must drink (Picard straitens tunic, Kramer burst through door, etc. etc. etc.). Horrified that Bikers could lead to an epidemic level of alcoholism and rampant drug use the kind souls behind Bikers knew what they must do, deep down in their hearts.
Let us figure out the parameters of a drinking game based on the epic BIKER ZOMBIES FROM DETROIT.
1. Anytime that a Biker is seen riding (not smoking) a hog (motorcycle).
2. Anytime that a Zombie is seen, heard or even referred to at all.
3. Anytime that the fine city of Detroit can be recognized in the motion picture.
Those seem like the simple and obvious rules. So the movie-makers in their infinite wisdom decided that the liability of all those drunken video watchers on a rampage could be deterred was to insure the following.
1. Keep the Biker count as low as possible. It was said they actually shot a scene with over 150 biker extras but left it out for sobriety's sake.
2. Ditto on the Zombies, less is more. Again the zombie hordes of extras on the cutting room floor. (rumor has it a cameo by the 60's rock group "The Zombies" as the band in the club was omitted because of the double drink implications).
3. Finally absolutely no footage shot in the city of Detroit. A custom aerial shot of the city was replaced by footage of another Metropolitan City shot from the back of a cab.
But unfortunately they overlooked some major areas, so reckless bingeing can still be had.
1. Drink when ever a character makes an impossible observation (I dare anyone to identify the undergarments wore by anyone wearing bagging non hip hugger denim or corduroy pants while a large sweat shirt or over coat is worn).
2. This next rule applies to all TV and movie drinking games, Cop eating a donut. You must drink double if the cop eating the donut is "waiting in the car".
3. Somebody dies with a silly smile on his or her face. Slam it on this one.
4. Anytime someone just sits on a bike and does not ride it (I was informed that they had to use trained monkeys for the motorcycle riding scenes as the actors that were suppose to ride the bikes were untrained).
5. A bubbly buxom blond bounces across the frame. (Remember to drink after the scene is done to avoid the inevitable spit take)
6. And for you raving alcoholics anytime some one swears. If you don't want to get your stomach pumped maybe make it only when they curse more than once in a sentence. Don't worry you still get fall down drunk between the fat bald bouncer and the Arabic speaking gas station owner (Yeah all that gibberish he is saying is all cuss words about a fist, a goat and somebody's mother from what I understand) and of course the "F Word Guy" is now a cult movie icon. He is suppose to be on the ComiCon circuit soon.
So in this context you understand what was trying to be attempted by the people behind Biker Zombies from Detroit.
On a more sober, excuse me somber note I finally met someone in person who seen the movie and loved it (the "in person" part is important because I know with out a doubt that they have no ulterior motive good or bad as they had nothing to do with it or knew anyone who did). Their one regret was that it ended too soon. So like several of the other people who either loved it or hated it the truth lies in that there is no ending and should be a sequel to this mightiest of the cult classics to wrap up the story. Albeit one that attempts to get everyone more drunk than an white trash wedding at a frat house on St. Patrick's Day.
My apologies to Irish Frat boys so on triple secret suspension as to have the frat house located in the trailer park.

Not As Bad As Everyone Says It Is!
D_R_A_C_U_L_A17 September 2003
This movie is definitely a micro budget film and it does show, but I am not going to hold that against it. There are a few problems here and there like the acting isn't the greatest, but the bad actors aren't shown to much. The biggest problem I found with this movie was it made me want to see more, it seemed to end to early and left a lot of questions in my mind. Now this will be great if there is a sequel in the works but if not then this movie just does not work on its own.
If there is a sequel I will definitely watch it and I will definitely recommend this one along with it. This movie is not "Scream" or any other Hollywood Teeny Horror flick, it is a low budget movie, so if you enjoy the Hollywood style movies then stay far away but if you enjoy low budget movies, then check this one out.
I give this movie a 2.5 out 0f 5.

Welcome to the Land of Suck. I'm your host, Biker Zombie #1.
scvycz1 June 2002
I rented this pile of sewer waste hoping for a few good laughs. With a title like `Zombie Bikers from Detroit' and with Dead Alive productions stamped on the front cover, you would think that this could be a funny/gruesome film, but no. This is the worst movie I have ever seen (and yes, I have seen all of the Police Academy movies). The story (this is a joke within itself) and the dialogue are atrocious. The make up of the so-called zombies looks like they used one of those two dollar `Make yourself look like a Zombie' kits that you buy at K-Mart.
I would rather watch Beverly Hills 90210 while listening to the Backstreet Boys and be whipped by a 400lb novelty birthday card model than to sit through another single minute of this pathetic excuse for a DVD. Honestly, I could make a better movie with $3, some popsicle sticks and a slinky. I feel as if 90 minutes of my life were stripped away from me and taken to the land of Suckdom. I know that tagging on the Dead Alive production doesn't guarantee a great flick, but you do expect to get your moneys worth.
The only thing that made me happy (save, returning the horrid mass of elephant feces) was that it wasn't titled `Biker Zombies from Pittsburgh'. I feel for Detroit folks that wasted their hard-earned money on this one. Unless you have been lobotomized . Do not buy, rent if you must But . You will regret it.

Recognizing the picture of the diner on the cover of the DVD made me realize that this was a local movie. The word Detroit in the title furthered my suspecions and I did some looking up of things and yes, a local movie it was.
So I picked it up. Someone I knew actually knew some of the producers/director (dont remember which) and said the producers/directors got people to PAY to be in this movie.
Brilliant! What a great idea. The movie makers get some capital to do the movie with, thanks to their cast and crew. Then the investors (cast, crew, others) get some of the profits, I'm imagining.
Profits!
Um anyways. This film totally underwhelmed me. The special effects were special as in special children who ride the small buses to school. The acting was very amusing, not intentionally however. There's a great line where a guy says "well? this bone aint gonna smoke itself!" as a pickup line. Unfortunately that is the only fun part of the whole film. The story? Well, I sort of followed it about 3/5 of the way in, then everything stopped making sense and as we were sitting there watching it, it suddenly ended. I mean as in,..no resolution of anything..like they ran out of time. "Sorry folks, out of time, goodnight!"
We sat there baffled and booing, and threw in another film. Then about 20 minutes later a neighbor of mine showed up..with one of the guys from the movie! We threw it back in and he (the actor) gave us a running commentary, which was awesome because he totally ripped on the movie!
What more could you ask for??
The most absurd scene for me was a motorbike chase scene were it was so dark that it could have literally been a guy running past with a flashlight and not a motorbike at all. That and the jaw droppingly in your face sudden ending is enough to make you howl. In pain! The zombies looked less like zombies than my coworkers do. And I dont work at the morgue either.
So, I recommend seeing this if you can get someone from the movie to come over and give you a running commentary as to all the things that went on behind the scenes and make sure this person hates the movie because that just adds to the fun.
Otherwise, give this one a pass. Rent something like Feeders if you want a jaw droppingly bad in a funny way movie...

Evil never looked so bad. They meant it.
When a buddy of mine picked this DVD up at a half-priced book store, I didn't know what to expect. I mean, based on the title, I knew it would be worth a laugh, but I didn't realize how laughable it would really be.
The first time through, I missed some of the dialogue (if you could call it that) because we were all too busy poking fun at the plot of the movie. It seemed like it was written in filmed in less than a week, and they hadn't the budget to go back and fix some of the minor flaws. Wait, did I say "minor"? I meant the exact opposite. For instance, the main character is credited as 'Ken', but several times throughout the film he is referred to as 'John'.
If the plot holes aren't enough fun for you, take a look at the acting. Nobody seems overly concerned about the zombie raids in their state, including the mother of the main character, who is missing for days while she sits in front of a fireplace reading a book.
The constraints that the budget puts on the movie are equally as hilarious. Maybe they didn't have a permit to film wherever they were, because during the BIG MOTORCYCLE CHASE SCENE, the characters are obeying all traffic regulations. The zombies, who had just killed twenty or so people, actually stop at a stop sign coming out of a parking lot. I don't even do that, but then again, I'm not a biker zombie. The ending of the movie looks like they just ran out of money. It ends so suddenly that it leaves you wanting more... On second thought, it ends just soon enough.
So if you're looking for a good time with your friends, seek out this movie. It's a great unintentional comedy.

Rather Clumsy
Uriah4311 March 2013
Although this film starts out with a stupid voice intro it gets better right after that. Essentially, a young teenager named "Ken Yargeau" (Tyrus Woodson) and his mother move to a town near Detroit (Grosse Pointe) and he begins to date a girl "Courtney Goodwyn" (Jullian Buckshaw) who a local motorcyclist likes. This causes friction between him and the motorcyclist. But prior to that a demon changes three violent criminals into his zombie servants and sends them from Detroit on a murderous rampage with Grosse Pointe as one of their destinations along the way. Anyway, while the dialogue was rather clumsy and the acting wasn't that good, the plot tended to be fairly interesting. However, it could have been much better, in my opinion, without the silly start and the bad ending. Likewise, if the director had concentrated more on the zombies and less on the awkward romantic interludes between Ken and Courtney it could have been even better still.
Best thing since the last thing that i said was the best thing!
doom-of-our-time28 June 2005
Warning: Spoilers
Biker zombies is like the seinfeld version of zombie movies. Its a movie that sorta has something to do with zombies but not really, its actually not about anything at all. Now if your expecting rabid plague zombies and rock out action zombies like 28 days later and house of the dead, you're about to be disappointed. If you're expecting shambling Romero zombies you're also gunna lose here. If you're looking for a nice zombie in trouble such as in "My Boyfriend's back" or "Hocus Pocus" you've also rented the wrong film. These zombies are like a collection of history's greatest monsters assembled by the devil and by "history's" i mean like four or five jerks from Michigan(I think) that the devil happened to find but sheer good(bad) luck. Now this movie really doesn't have much of a point. It comes to something similar to a climax when a zombie attacks one of the main characters at the end and the zombies then ride off, presumably to keep "Stickin' it to the man" or something. Now i've knocked this movie a bit so far, so i bet you're asking why i didn't rate it so low. Well first of all this movie isn't Alien Dead. Second of all, Jillian Bradshaw, who plays Courtney, did not deserve to have to be in this movie. I liked her too much to hate the only movie she's ever been in. Finally, Me and the rest of the "Bad cinema squad" couldn't stop laughing at this. I give biker zombies the benefit of the doubt and assume they set out to make a movie I could laugh at. Thanks Biker Zombies.
You have got to be kidding me!!!!!
brady_mag27 May 2003
OH my god definitely on the top 10 worst movies ever made. NO PLOT!!! who was the main character? The guy or the girl. how many times could they have made that cop say " Ill be in the car" ha ha my throat hurt the next day from hurting from laughing so hard no ending what was the purpose of them going after the kid why was there biker zombies in the first place if i ever saw it for sale i would buy it on the spot it was so idiotically funny if you ARe looking for a horror movie stay away from biker zombies but if you are looking to laugh so hard your stomach hurts get this and never return it
A very bad "B" movie
BrownFloyd14 December 2004
I like to rent horror movies from my local video store because they have real off the wall titles there. Biker Zombies has only been rented once from there since it has been on the shelf; unfortunately I was the rentee. I'm not sure if the acting is better or worse than porno acting, but I don't want to watch this movie again to study any further... Zombies that don't eat people? You have the most famous zombie movies in the "Night of the Living Dead" series, where the zombies ate flesh. Then you had the "Return of the Living Dead" trilogy where the zombies wanted brains. But zombies that only murder you without appetite? That's just silly. Awful acting, awful direction, awful costumes... just plain awful!
Nothing short of Terrible
tapewench6 January 2002
With a name like "Biker Zombies From Detroit," you don't expect high art. What you expect is a cheesy yet comical romp with lots of blood and interesting, if cheesy, make-up. That's what's supposed to make these films fun to watch.
"Biker Zombies," however, is not fun to watch. It is a terrible movie on every level.
This is a DV feature, so, naturally, it doesn't have the highest production value in the world. But, judging from the quality of the sound, these people didn't even TRY to make the film worthwhile. In fact, the sound quality is so bad, it often sounds like they recorded scenes using only the camera's on-board microphone, which is a travesty even in no-budget production.
The least they could've done is make the film visually interesting to make up for the lack of story, acting, make-up, etc. Instead, the film is primarily locked-down master shots, the most uninteresting way to shoot a movie. The only part that had the remotest quality to it was a slow-motion fight sequence, where the stunts and camera angles made for a very interesting look. The difference between that fight sequence and the rest of the film is so glaring, it almost seems like someone else directed the fight scene.
Not to mention the fact that the film is permeated by an annoying zombie voice-over that's been processed to the point of inaudibility, as well as random shots of homeless people that seem to be there for the sole purpose of increasing the film's running time.
In short, "Biker Zombies From Detroit" is a film that gives Detroit filmmakers a bad name. Garbage like this should not be used to represent the primarily high-quality work that goes on in this town.

Cheap looking zombie film is pretty bad for the genre
Michael_Pilkington3 June 2003
An ancient evil force transforms murderers, drug dealers and prostitutes of Detroit into an army of motorcycle riding zombies to reclaim the world they lost eons ago. Meanwhile, a teenage boy (Tyrus Woodson) and his mom moves into the suburban part of Detroit. Unfortunately for the teen he is transformed into one of them and goes on his own rampage.
Cheap looking zombie film is pretty bad. How bad? Very bad. There's absolutely no redeeming qualities found in this travesty. Repellent gory effects, editing, sound and lack of plot makes this one of the worst zombie films of the genre. Not even good for a few laughs. My evaluation: (no stars).

This movie sucked. Bad.
I certainly would not be surprised if a group of kids pitched in to get a MiniDV camcorder, some zombie masks, and beer money to pay the adults. The night scenes were obviously shot without additional lighting as everything sort of blurs into a brackish image with no detail. The audio seemed to be slightly out of sync in many parts and the music was so forgettable that I can't even recall it now. This movie should serve as fantastic viewing for and film 101 class as an example of how NOT to block, shoot, and edit.
Funniest part was when the screenwriter, John Kerfoot or some such, did a fantastic job playing himself as a patron/victim to be in a diner explaining how, in an ironic twist, movies should only be shot on film. If only the zombies could have gotten to him BEFORE he put pen to paper to scribe this filth.
The only saving point was the girl, Courtney. We need more fine, thick, jiggly lead actresses like her. I will watch this movie again just for her.

This movie should serve as fantastic viewing for and film 101 class as an example of how NOT to block, shoot, and edit.
Funniest part was when the screenwriter, John Kerfoot or some such, did a fantastic job playing himself as a patron/victim to be in a diner explaining how, in an ironic twist, movies should only be shot on film. If only the zombies could have gotten to him BEFORE he put pen to paper to scribe this filth.
The only saving point was the girl, Courtney. We need more fine, thick, jiggly lead actresses like her. I will watch this movie again just for her.
They got one thing perfect though; their tagline: Evil Never Looked So Bad. It looked so bad it was sad.

This is, without a doubt, THE WORST FILM I've ever seen in my life. There's no plot, no story, almost non-existent dialogue (that which is there is about nothing, non-existent sex acts made up by the "cool" biker teens, and 1/3 cursing), awful make-up, awful fx, AND no ending! It's stupid and pointless. I don't know why trash like this is made, especially making it to DVD. It's the director (Todd Brunswick) and writer's (John Kerfoot) first film and it shows. If I were them, I'd go back to or for the first time enter beginner's film school. They got one thing perfect though; their tagline: Evil Never Looked So Bad. It looked so bad it was sad.
Pathetic

Okay, I saw this "movie" months ago, but it has had a lasting impression on me. Since seeing this movie, I have contemplated suicide on over a dozen occassions. I can't get over how embarrassingly horrible this was. It was like watching a bad high school production from the kids you hated most in high school. This is just flat out poor. It's as though somebody just wanted to make a zombie movie...and yet, where are the frickin zombies?! Instead what we get are giant smurfs with fake blood squirting here and there.
The acting is a joke. No offense to the actors, but they are all terrible. And so unappealing to look at. From the Chachi-looking lead, to the big-bosomed girl (who doesn't even do a nude scene...thanks alot!) to the annoying porky girl in the diner who blabs about digital filmmaking (haha, not). As for the movie itself, the director and producer are related...must be one of those dynamic husband and wife filmmaking duo's, like nancy meyers and charles shyer or something. Well, these people are a joke. How dare they try and pass themselves off as legitimate filmmakers. They should be ashamed of themselves for making such a "movie", and wasting so many people's time and effort. They only took 90 minutes of my time...but those 90 minutes of my life they robbed seemed to last 90 years. Hell, the opening credits sequence took up about 84 of the 90 minute running time! Ahh, just thinking about this movie makes me sick. Enough.
Oh, and I see that this filmmaking team is working on more projects. Great, I can't wait. I'll alert the Academy. Ugh, idiots.

I loved it

This movie is sick, twisted, disgusting, I LOVED IT. It has everything- bikes, bikers-zombies and best of all, theres no plot to get in the way of the fun. Note- its worth the price of admission just for the death by motorcycle muffler up the back side impalement scene alone. So if you are a "B" movie devotee and you loved "Street Trash" "Rabid Grannies" or "Little Shop of Horrors" (the original) then Biker Zombie from Detroit is a must see. Warning this movie is rated "MMM" (monsters- murder-mayhem) Reviewed by Sam Sanna
Hilariously Horrible
biggie44015 June 2002
Everything about this movie--the plot, the characters, the dialogue--is the worst I've ever seen but that is why this is the greatest movie ever made. I can think of anything positive about this film except the fact that I laughed my ass off from start to finish. Even though it's a supposed horror movie, it's a hiliarious comedy worthy of watching again and again. I love everything about this movie from the "realistic" make-up to mufflers being ripped off motorcycles and stuck where they don't belong to the heavy overuse of the F-word. Rent this, watch this, love this.
Could have been way better

this movie had a great start. First you meet the villain, then you meet the hero and his girl, and finally you meet the heros neighbors. The neighbors have a hilarious conversation right away about fifteen year old girls and dating conquests. Then the movie goes downhill and only returns slightly in the last death scene. The biggest problems are that the violence is PG. There is no gore or blood even. Also I kept waiting for the lead actress to show off her puppies but she never ever does. These kinds of movies are good for gore and sex--And this movie failed on both counts. Avoid at all costs.
