    Sad

    Sad that the film preys on special needs people to advance this weak a$$ movie. 45 minutes of nothing to endure before the zombies arrive. Pathetic acting, plot (?) is barely there. Ok viewing for group laugh in as long as your equipped with intoxicants for all.

    I absolutely love this movie!

    This is by far one of the absolute most ridiculous "B" movies I've ever seen in my life....needless to say I loved it!....it looks like it was recorded on a VHS camcorder from 1991, has loads of blood and guts and to my surprise a cameo by my all-time idol Jello Biafra who used to be the lead singer of the Dead Kennedys and a wonderful spoken word artist...i just happened to stumble across it on netflix and with a title like Retardead how could I not check it out....certainly not for everyone, but if you like really ridiculous movies with loads of blood and hilarious dialogue you wont be disappointed....and thanks to the only other reviewer on IMDb i find out its a sequel to a movie called "Monsturd" made by the same guys!....yes...seriously...."Monsturd".....cant wait to check that one out too!

    At last! The sequel to Monsturd!

    Well, it's time to throw political correctness right out of the bloody window now as the comedic genius of Rick Popko and Dan West bring us the long awaited sequel to the faecal favourite, Monsturd. This time the dastardly Dr Stern is performing experiments upon special needs students which whist initially highly beneficial (it turns them into savants!) has a rather unfortunate side effect........it subsequently transforms them into flesh hungry zombies! In no time at all Butte County consequently descends into chaos as the ever growing army of the living dead devour all in their path. It falls upon our intrepid heroes from the first film to save the day....but will they survive this brutal onslaught?

    Well first things first, if you are at all offended by either a) politically incorrect depictions of disability or b) bucket loads of gore then I'd hastily advise you to give this one a width berth. For those of you left, you're in for a real treat with this guaranteed!

    What can I say? This is simply hilarious fun from start to gore drenched finish with gags (and entrails!) flying left right and centre. It's also great to see virtually everyone involved with the first film making return appearances here again to, not least of all Popko and West themselves as the bumbling, bickering deputies.

    Best scenes? So many to choose from and indeed far too numerous to list but for me the very best bit is another extended puking scene just like in Monsturd which features here as Dr Stern is handing our weak stomached heroes the entrails from a corpse (don't ask! - You really need to see it to find out why!)

    Tremendous stuff and definitely one of the funniest films I've seen all year. Now......please, please can we have another sequel?

      End Credits Song: If you think this movie was dumber than dumb / Bet you ten bucks that you rent the next one / Of course you bitch and moan and call us "loser" / But we're the ones in the video store, not you, loser / If you don't like it, call us a bunch of hacks / But don't go asking for your money back
