Film Review : Wizard Of Oz : Dead Walk (2025)

The horror world taking any property they can touch and giving it the horror spin is now starting to wear thing. The Poohniverse was dumb fun, Popeye got at least one watchable film, but Wizard Of Oz : Dead Walk proves that the low budget run of these films is hitting its threshold.

We follow Dorothy who is a recovering drug addict who has been placed by her Aunt Em inside the Emerald Rehabilitation Clinic. She has constant nightmares of that she is in another land with a yellow brick road and creatures plague it. Soon though the Tin Man and Scarecrow from her nightmares are now in the real world though who are not friendly, but are killers who collect hearts and brains.

This is the first of four Oz related horror films releasing in 2026 and this one shows its low budget openly. The writing and acting is atrocious with the effects and costumes being even worse. Our Tin Man has wrinkled clothes and a bendy cheap weapon out of a Halloween store.

While the concept here could work with a budget, all the film has against it just weighs it down here. We get slogged through bad writing and acting to the point where the bad kills don’t help get past the fact that the film itself is painfully boring.

Score :

.5 / 5
