Ninja Zombie is the hero we need right now. Shot on Super 8 film in Chicago by director Mark Bessenger, this action-horror hybrid tells the story of Jack—a young martial arts expert who is slain by evil cult leader Spithrachne, only to be resurrected as the vengeance-fueled Ninja Zombie. An explosion of high-kicking, guts-spilling splendor, Ninja Zombie lands at the intersection of 1980s Marvel Comics and The Toxic Avenger, a true Venn diagram of joy and ambition in underground filmmaking.

"This was a blind buy for me - but having read about it, I knew I would love it. Superbly entertaining and it’s easy to see everyone involved had a great time. I was lucky enough to be able to purchase it whilst the limited edition slipcover edition was still available. Yet another superb release from Bleeding Skull."
"Such a fun weird movie. Love these Bleeding Skull releases for introducing me to these kinds of movies."
"Thank you once again Bleeding Skull. Ninja Zombie is exactly what I want to arrive at my house in my monthly order. Masterpiece."
"The exact type of film you hope for when you buy something from this label. Funny, low budget, and tons of goofy practical FX. Worth a watch and a great crowd pleaser!"
"Firstly, I absolutely love this film. The bad guy in it is hilariously OTT and the whole thing is completely absurd, but great fun. Secondly, there was no way I was missing out on an upgrade to Blu. I've not compared the DVD and Blu Ray and therefore I'm going on memory, but I think it's safe to say it does look better. If you've not seen this film before and you like low-budget trash then I highly recommend it."
"Hilarious, and it’s on purpose. Adorable, silly, but still very savvy. I loved this!"
"NINJA ZOMBIE, one of my first ever AGFA’s DVDs, and a favorite at that too. So, was it worth the upgrade? Well, yes, of course, it’s the ultimate brilliance of low budget junk told with a passion lacking from much of the tripe that the ‘system’ poops out. (to sell pop-corn buckets… wtf?) If you love dusted scratched 16mm film – ironically on a Blu-ray release – then this true image of amateur passion – and insane madness – is all for you!"
"Another great picture by Bleeding Skull, I'm happy I held off on the video release as this one has a few more worthwhile extras. I love the end theme so catchy I wished they played it more throughout the movie. The transfer is surprisingly nice for a 8 mm film. Lots of low budget fun and some cheesy as hell martial art sequences. Great purchase."
"There was a ninja zombie in fairness to them, just wish it was a little more fun"
"Ninja Zombie is a delightfully off-the-wall horror-action hybrid that embraces its outrageous premise with infectious enthusiasm. The film’s low-budget ingenuity, energetic fight scenes, and quirky sense of humor give it a unique cult appeal. It’s a wildly entertaining DIY genre oddity that rewards fans who love creative, anything-goes independent filmmaking."
