Very enjoyable zombie movie

I love bad movies so I was looking forward to another low budget crap fest. However as I watched Flight of the Living Dead I quickly realised this was far from crap. I found myself really enjoying it, by the end of the film I found myself actually loving it. The effects were very well done considering the budget and the zombies were awesome. All the performances were good but special mention must go to David Chisum and the always reliable Richard Tyson. The best performance however comes from Kevin J.O'Connor, more or less reprising his character from The Mummy. I can't remember the last time I was so entertained watching a horror film. If you're looking for a good, fun, scary and gory zombie film you can't go wrong with this. Hardly original but very enjoyable.
