Episode 230: Zeder (1983)

Send us Fan MailNow I do have the TUBI list of movies to work through… the detritus of the channel… Transit 17 and Age of the Dead and 5 years after the fall and the like… utter horse dung and I do have DVDs comingBetter of Zed starring Graham Sibley from Zombie HoneymoonMessiah of Evil, that we are going to be watching then reviewing with Andy Beglin next monthAnd what ChatGPT listed as the worst zombie movie ever made Zombie Nightmare with Adam West from 1987But whilst I am waiting for them to arrive in the post I have one more DVD kicking about, and it has been put off for quite a while. Months even. And it is ZederStefano, a journalist, finds that there is a terrain that can bring people back from the dead. His wife is murdered and he buries her in the same zone in the hope of bringing her back.OrThe story is about a young novelist's discovery of the writings of a late scientist who had found a means of reviving the dead.Hm sounds like Pet Cemetery to me1983 Italian 62% on RT, 4/5 on amazon (meaningless) but a very telling 6.1/10 on IMDBA zombie movie in the loosest sense. It was a sprawling conspiracy that everyone was involved with from their university professor, to their cop friend, to Alessandra's doctor friend, and all to bring loved ones back from the dead. Ending with him bringing his wife back from the dead, only to kill him. So this was pet cemetery it just took 99 minutes to become Pet Cemetery and was then Pet Cemetery for a minute.
