Zombiegeddon

If you are a fan of Zombie-movies, this one will disappoint you: This is a movie without any good ideas, there are no thrills and shock-effects. The make-up is lousy, too and there was no money for special effects. The whole thing looks like a bad joke, a home video from a few crazy kids.

If you are a fan of the actors who appear here you will be disappointed, too because their appearances are much too short.

Zombiegeddon is a bad movie: very boring, no story, no, absolutely no action and a real waste of a few good B-movie-legends: Scream-Queen Brinke Stevens, she was about 50 when she made this one - real beauty never fades -, has a few good moments, Tom Savini, the legendary Sex-Machine in Tarantino/Rodriguez "From Dusk Till Dawn", is wasted here, too. His scene is not worth to mention and he isn't as cool here as we remember him from other movies.

"Maniac Cop" Robert Z'Dar appears almost at the end of the movie and he hasn't much to do in here. Julie Strain appeared also in the credits and you wait for her appearance than you recognize disappointed that they only dubbed her voice as one of the callers.

Conrad Brooks, the young Cop from Ed Woods "Plan 9 from outer Space", appears also here but why??? A few famous B-movie legends can't even save this garbage.

Joe Estevez seems to be the only actor who really enjoyed his work. His appearances are really funny. William Smith as Lord Zombie in his terrible costume with his terrible helmet looks like he would say: Oh my God, what am I doing here? When will I ever get a part in a real movie? Most of the scenes look like they were shot in 1 or 2 hours. Another funny thing is that the makers talk in the Making-Of about Kung-fu fighting Zombies, but what they are doing is Kickboxing. Hey, Guys, wake up! There is a difference between Kung-Fu and Kickboxing.

This DVD includes also one of the worst and most boring Making-Ofs I've ever seen. It looks like even the guys who mad this movie were completely desinterrested in their "work".

All in all: Zombiegeddon is a waste of time and a waste of money!

Only film geeks could get anything out of this piece of garabage! I meant to spell it that way by the way. Listen, anyway, this film premiered in Tulsa Oklahoma, with a pretty darn loyal following pretty darn excited to see it. It was awful! A complete waste of money. Felissa Rose was the only saving grace to this turkey about zombies who are sent from the devil. The acting is about the worst acting in cinema history, even Brink Stevens and Tom Savini couldn't save it! Ugh! 0/10

I have to say when a name like Zombiegeddon and an atom bomb on the front cover I was expecting a flat out chop-socky fung-ku, but what I got instead was a comedy. So, it wasn't quite was I was expecting, but I really liked it anyway! The best scene ever was the main cop dude pulling those kids over and pulling a Bad Lieutenant on them!! I was laughing my ass off. I mean, the cops were just so bad! And when I say bad, I mean The Shield Vic Macky bad. But unlike that show I was laughing when they shot people and smoked dope.

Felissa Rose...man, oh man. What can you say about that hottie. She was great and put those other actresses to shame. She should work more often!!!!! I also really liked the fight scene outside of the building. That was done really well. Lots of fighting and people getting their heads banged up. FUN! Last, but not least Joe Estevez and William Smith were great as the...well, I wasn't sure what they were, but they seemed to be having fun and throwing out lines. I mean, some of it didn't make sense with the rest of the flick, but who cares when you're laughing so hard! All in all the film wasn't the greatest thing since sliced bread, but I wasn't expecting that. It was a Troma flick so I figured it would totally suck. It's nice when something surprises you but not totally sucking.

Rent it if you want to get stoned on a Friday night and laugh with your buddies. Don't rent it if you are an uptight weenie or want a zombie movie with lots of flesh eating.

P.S. Uwe Boil was a nice touch.

Zombiegeddon starts with German director Uwe Boll telling the audience that this movie is "crap" "unwatchable" and its "not worth a dollar". Funny introduction for a movie? No, just the truth. Zombiegeddon is pure chloroform. If you suffer from insomnia this will put you to sleep in minutes. All those b-movie "stars" cameos are just pathetic and the blood and gore here is bottom of the barrel. I love gore movies, zombie movies and no budget movies. I even love bad gore fx, but funny bad effects. There is a scene were a priest talks for straight ten minutes, thats a good method to sleep the audience. Not worth, Zombiegeddon is unwatchable. Watch Redneck Zombies if you want a no budget zombie movie distributed by Troma, not this one.

Arriving at a local radio station, a radio show host decides to recount a story about how a zombie apocalypse was averted when the creatures appeared from the depths of Hell to overthrow the planet and how they relied on a pair of corrupt cops and several other survivors to stop them.

This was a wholly cheesy low-budget genre effort. One of the finer features of this one is the way the endless array of seemingly unrelated skits slowly form a coherent storyline about the zombies arriving and taking over. As the interactions of the corrupt officers going through the neighborhood, the zombies appearing at the school, and the various neighbors who seem to interact either with more zombies or each other before it becomes obvious these seemingly random skits form a story about the creatures coming to take over the world. These confrontations provide a generally fun series of cheesy, low-budget-fueled schlocky zombie encounters featuring flimsy gore and outright silly concepts that substitute common sense and logic for energy and enthusiasm that builds throughout here into an original take on the zombie curse affecting everyone which is all decent enough to give this some enjoyable elements. All that aside, there are some issues with this one. The biggest one is the seemingly obvious low budget where just about everything from the production value, the guerilla shooting locations, and the effects on display all scream cheap, low-budget cheese. It all borders on being intolerable due to the type of presentation it provides, especially for those who don't enjoy this kind of genre fare. As well, there's also the big issue with the film in that the randomized nature of the structure prevents the film from making sense, as the general approach only comes about later on since the internal logic of so many scenes is maddeningly frustrating. Characters become zombies seemingly for no reason, the way they behave is immensely inconsistent, and everything has the kind of improv type of performance so it all comes off even cheaper and cheesier than anything else. It all comes together to lower this one overall.
