Zombies! Zombies! Zombies!

I had read a few negative reviews about this movie, so maybe I wasn't expecting much...but I liked it. From reading the Horror sites, I already knew that this was made by some first-time filmmakers, horror fans, who had funded the entire movie on their personal credit cards...so i was interested to see how bad it was going to be.

To my surprise, I actually thought they did a pretty good job considering the ultra-low budget. It is slow to get started, it's shot on HD not film, some of the acting is a little stiff, and a lot of the fx are kinda cheesy...but I have seen some really craptastic low-budget movies in my day, and this one actually comes out as much more professional than most.

The budget is apparent with things like fx and production quality, but the filmmakers seemed to really put a lot of thought and work into the story and characters. The girls are smoking hot playboy models, and the comedy is...well, actually pretty funny, which is rare in most self proclaimed horror-comedy movies.

Anyway, to sum it up...if you are expecting a Hollywood grade movie...you will be sadly disappointed, and probably hate the movie. But, if you are a fan of low-budget horror, get the jokes, and support horror fans that have the guts to risk their own money to make a movie...then this may be a treat for you. And if you are a wanna-be filmmaker, you will definitely enjoy the making of stuff in the special features...maybe even more than the movie itself.

I picked this up for about $5 and it was almost worth it. Pay more and I think you'll be pretty disappointed.

I was expecting cheesy and hoping for a laugh or two in the company of some hot babes, kinda like Lesbian Vampire Killers just with Zombies, but it was more like Land of the Dead with Jam for blood. I wouldn't really call it funny, but I chuckled a bit and had a few laughs at the movie.

It's about on par with a very good school play, but in the hands of professionals I think it could have been a pretty good show.. It's clearly budget, but the writing is okay. They could even keep the actors if they got some pros behind the cameras, sound, efx and cgi, because that part really sucked..

The jingle almost ruined it at the beginning, but there is practically no music, not even for atmosphere or building up tension, in it. I guess, that's a actually a good thing in light of the really poor technical side of it; it could have been much worse.

Yep, there are a lot of zombies for a "Z" movie of this nature.

There is a nice start to the movie, which I liked and I was impressed with the fact the movie does not take itself seriously. At all. Also an interesting mid-credit scene at the end.

The effects are okay (without being spectacular), as is the humour.

The acting is variable, going from "just about okay" to "eh?" This does remove most of the spook effect from the "jump" scenes. But overall the acting didn't destroy the movie.

Recommended for aficionados of "infection" movies.

For a low-budget "zom-com" (zombie-comedy), this film wasn't too bad. Essentially, a chemist is experimenting with a cure for cancer, and an acquaintance of his, who happens to be a drug dealer, picks it up thinking it is a form of meth. One thing leads to another, and soon he and some prostitutes become flesh-eating zombies trying to get into a strip club to satisfy their hunger. Naturally, the strippers and a few others try to fight them off as best they can. Anyway, having given a brief outline of the plot, allow me to say that there were a few humorous parts here and there. There was also quite a bit of gore, along with a more straightforward storyline than I expected. Additionally, there were some attractive women, most notably Lyanna Tumaneng (as "Dallas"), Jessica Barton ("Dakota"), and Juliet Reeves ("Pandora"). Essentially, what this film offers is a little humor, sexy women, and plentiful special effects. Unfortunately, the acting simply wasn't good enough to differentiate this film from a host of other low-budget zombie comedies that are currently flooding the market. Because of that, I have rated it as slightly below average.

Zombies! Zombies! Zombies! is newcomer Jason Murphy's debut film, and taking that into account, it is not too bad. However, amidst the recent slew of low-budget horror (and especially low-budget zombie horror), this is rather weak for a number of reasons. For one, this is a case of not knowing how to balance two different genres in the one movie. This is no doubt a difficult task to master, but when done right, can make for an immensely entertaining experience. The Evil Dead, Shaun of the Dead and Re-Animator both blended horror and comedy very well into the one movie. This film also tries this, but fails rather miserable. Zombies! Zombies! Zombies! is not at all scary, and only amusing thanks to the surprisingly good acting from a mostly unknown cast.

The story behind the zombie outbreak in this film is quickly explained and rather funny. Simply, a scientist is in the process of experimenting with regenerating cells, when a dopey pothead comes around to get some quality drug. For some reason, this guy mixes the scientist's concoctions and creates some new drug which turns people into zombies. Eventually, a group of strippers, prostitutes, their friends and a pimp are all holed up in a strip club fending off against a horde of the undead.

No, the plot is not award winning, but it suits this no-budget movie. The script is rather funny, but lacks a fast pace or any good shock moments. There is not a lot of gore on offer surprisingly for a zombie flick, although there are some neat gags. The use of CGI is rather dodgy, as none of it looks convincing. Also, oddly enough, for a movie set in a strip club and whose main characters are strippers, there is very little nudity.

Anyway, this is a decent enough effort that is marred by a few glaring issues. 2/5
