I am. :dunce:
i think you should find it to watch. if you hate it, you hate it. but you won't mistake them again. :P
I mistake them because I bought a 3 movie DVD pack with those two movies and Prison of the Dead like 15 years ago. Lol
so you've seen it then? i'm not gonna watch prison of the dead! :P
I have absolutely seen The Dead Want Women and I am kinda sure I've seen the other two. The Dead Want Women is a go-to if you're feeling pervy and just want nudity. Lol
the dead want women definitely has nudity over the dead hate the living. and a notable name star in eric roberts. but none of the fun, so far. at least fun in my opinion.
I'm pretty sure I've seen the other two but I remember nothing, and yeah, I got the Dead Want Women confused with the Dead Hate the Living. The Dead Want Women is the one I was talking about.
well, i want you to rewatch the dead hate the living. :P
Is it actually good? I might give it a go.

If I do watch it and don't remember diddly poo than I'm counting it as a new watch. :P
as a low budget cheese fest that is a step above most of troma, but not henenlotter or gordon levels, yeah it's good. :P

I just watched the trailer and it doesn't look the least bit familiar. Actually looks pretty decent. I probably bought the box set, picked the one that seemed the most intriguing from the title (The Dead Want Women) and when it sucked I probably just moved on and never touched the others.

i'm certain that i've seen the first one at least.
They arguably all get better.
if it's online somewhere i'll give them a watch. i can't do any worse than i have tonight. :P

I don't trust an imdb rating on anything above a 4.0. If it's 3.9 or worse I assume it's bad. And they're correct on that 2.9. :P

the new Salem's Lot could've been great, but that hacked runtime and some clearly last-minute FX work in some spots really hurts what is otherwise a pretty epic vampire yarn. I hope they release a full cut later because you can really feel them skipping things just to get to the action.
