'The Laughing Dead' (1989) – S.P Somtow.

This mesmerizingly mental, membrane mastacatingly macabre freakshow remains a mandatory, audaciously visceral experience, no true 80s horror fan should miss! A dispirited, faithless, nun-plugging priest leads a colourfully kooky coachload of disparate misfits on their sightseeing visit to a historically hateful Aztec burial ground, hoping to enjoy the local exotic festivities, only to fatefully discover that evilly lurking beneath this increasingly unholy site, these ancient Mayan dead rest anything but peacefully! Rabid, splatter-seeking gore hounds are sure to lap up the lurid eviscerations, dastardly decapitations, and amusing assemblage of eccentric nutballs in Somtow's beguilingly bizarro B-Movie Bloodbath! If you haven't got the heart to watch the gleefully gruesome 'The Laughing Dead', it's only because some murderous Mayan death god has just bloodily torn it out of your chest!!! 

S.P Somtow's delightfully sardonic 80s Schlock-fest is arguably one of the moist hysterically cassock-spoiling carnage classics since Peter Jackson's intestinally inventive 'Brain Dead'! About as subtle as a shark's tooth enema, the gloriously gut-shredding antics of these apocalyptically antisocial Aztecs makes for a frightfully fascinating festival of phantasmagorical, flesh flaying fun! If the 'Video Dead' gave you 'pause for thought', then the fabulously FX-heavy, head-spinning savagery of 80s splatter sensation 'The Laughing Dead' will send you straight to the funny farm!!!! With its Tromatizingly theatrical thesping, gallows humour, and generously gloopy gore, only the most twisted terrornauts should mark a date on their Mayan calendar to watch the grossly under-celebrated, gallopingly grisly, splendidly shock-saturated, corpse-clotted celluloid chunkblower, 'The Laughing Dead'.
