ADVENTURES IN POUNDLAND HORROR - No 6 - DAWN OF THE LIVING DEAD

AKA : EVIL GRAVE - CURSE OF THE MAYA
TAG LINE : ON THIS DAY THE DEAD WILL DEVOUR THE LIVING
Not strictly a POUNDLAND film, nope this one came from POUNDWORLD!
Starring the ever great JOE ESTEVEZ as a psychiatrist who takes his girlfriend (also his patient) to a isolated farm near the Mexican boarder. The family of Mayans who lived there before having been done in by a psycho windmill engineer!. Anyway back from the dead they come amid great scenes of flesh eating and pus dripping.
This is nothing whatsoever to do with the DAWN OF THE DEAD films lacking the class of even that franchise but it is still a good laugh and has some great one liners such as...
'If we go out there they'll chew us a new ass' (yep in a shed surrounded by zombies).
On seeing 3 books on a book shelf the hero/ villian says ' So you're a big reader are you?'
As usual any film with ESTEVEZ in it cant be all bad - did you know that at the time of writing he has been in 192 films since 1974.
3 stars and the ESTEVEZ bonus star.
Warning this film contains the following: mystic cornfields, cactus, Todd Bridges (he of US 80s sitcom Different Strokes), oh and the world's finest film end title song Mombie Zombie by Freddie & the Flesheaters...
