Jenny and Julian finds some strange chemical container in a hidden room that they take to their friend Cody for screening. Cody though finds a way to turn the chemical into a new party drug called "Z" and starts selling to it college kids which makes them turn into zombies. And as Halloween approaches and everyone's wearing costumes, it makes it quite hard to distinguish the living from the dead.
Rave to the Grave is a terrible movie, period. Did a drunken monkey write the script? Probably. Again we're faced with some of the idiots that were the very irritating characters in the God awful Necropolis. Buckle up folks, because now it's time to deal with them again and the headache will hit you twice as hard this time around. Well, maybe not, Necropolis was one shitty piece of film and I'm not sure if this was any worse, but what I'm sure of thought is that it was just as horrible and I would rather watch puke melt in the sun, than having to sit through this utterly crappy feature one more time. Trust me, it's that bad.
What the people behind this awful feature need is a swift kick in the balls. How can you make a flick this bad and then release it upon the world and why the hell is it called Return of the Living Dead? I'm aware that both Necropolis and Rave.. are sequels to the great three previous flicks, but they're also a disgrace to them. For a lot of horror fans out there, the original Return of the Living Dead is probably one of the top films on their list (I know I have it on mine) and watching this is just plain insulting. And if that wasn't bad enough, well, then you have the plot holes, the bad acting, the irritating teens, the dialogue and a lot of other shitty things, and the list goes on..
 
When watching a movie, I usually try and see the good things it has to it and while I don't live to complain, sometimes you just got to. I can honestly tell you that Rave to the Grave does not have one single redeeming quality and I can't tell you how much I hated that I wasted one and a half hour on this piece of crap. It's not a so-bad-it's-good type of movie, it's not a cool B-movie either; simply put, it's pure stinking garbage. I'm not gonna tell you about the story or anything else because I'm gonna go burn this DVD instead. All that's left to say is that I'd like to warn you about this little monster as it's just something that you shouldn't even go near.
If you didn't like Necropolis, there's no way you're gonna like this one. It was made by the same people, directed by the same guy and had some of the same actors in it - no wonder it turned out to be so shitty. It's just a shame that movies like this get to be made and I can't f**kin believe I sat through the whole thing. I think I'm gonna be sick.
