Let me start off by saying that I like zombie films and I like comedies. But mixing the two is a difficult task to accomplish with any degree of success. Very difficult. That said, add in an extremely low budget, bad acting, bad writing and cheap cinematography and one can probably imagine what to expect: A low-budget zombie film that lacks both comedy and horror. Yes, there is lots of gore in this film for those who enjoy that sort of thing. But gore--in and of itself--is only useful in enhancing a film and shouldn't be relied upon to carry a movie. That takes acting. And, like I said, this movie is missing that key component. Now, some could say that the acting was supposed to be bad and it's what gives the "comedy" its flavor. Okay, I get that. But let's get real, I know a good movie when I see one--and this isn't one of them. Having warned everyone ahead of time I would now like to mention that I thought the director (Pericles Lewnes) did a credible job with the extremely low budget constrains ($10,000). But it was still a bad film none-the-less. In short, this film is about as cheap as it gets and its only value might be as a gag with friends who enjoy drinking beer and watching movies together. Just make sure to bring lots of beer. Better yet, it's probably a good idea to get a quick head start on the beer first. Simply put, if the objective was to create a bad movie then that goal was accomplished. But I see no need applaud it.
