Re-Elected

Deep in the woods on the 4th of July, siblings Nate and Angela must face off against the zombies of American presidents, and their worst nightmare -- spending an entire evening together.

This movie runs for 1hr22mins but seems much longer. I dunno maybe it's like the way it's paced which is probably slowly but doesn't feel slow. Yet it did seem to take ages to get to the end.

The acting is good. There aren't too many kills and there isn't any nudity. So it's got those things working against it lol.

They have some random past Presidents of the United States of America show up but they're zombies.

It's a watchable movie, not a lot happens but it's a fairly original premise in the way it all happens.

Don't expect to much, a few laughs (maybe), and easy to follow story line and some good production values and decent acting.

I'd watch it again and almost enjoyed it, at least it held my interest throughout. So I scored it a 7/10.

So, I decided it was time to watch a horror flick from last year's Halloween list. I thought, "this should be delicious, a movie with zombie Presidents." Nah, it left a bad taste in mouth. It was billed as a Comedy-Horror. No laughter. No scares. However, the "delicious" part was the wonderful snacks I was eating. I do reccomend Lay's Chedder and Sour Cream Wavy chips with Hellavu Good Jalopeno dip. Now that's delicious. Ok, I need to stretch out my review by a few more charactors. So, let's talk about the BM I had the next day where I did reflect upon the film. That should be a positve, right?

When I stumbled upon the 2020 horror comedy movie "Re-Elected", of course I had to sit down to watch it, given my fascination with all things zombie. I hadn't even heard about this 2020 movie from director Max Radbill before now in 2021 when I had the opportunity to sit down and watch it.

I will say that the concept idea behind "Re-Elected" was definitely something that could prove to be entertaining and have potential.

Well, as for "Re-Elected" being a horror comedy, I suppose that it was. But it was not a movie that made me laugh, nor was it a movie that actually provided me with much of any entertainment.

The storyline was adequate enough, I guess, though it wasn't anything outstanding or particularly enjoyable that writers Eric Looney and Max Radbill managed to come up with. So it made for a very forgettable and bland movie experience.

Now, what didn't work out in this movie was the acting performances. The actors and actresses in the movie didn't really put on stellar performances, and it felt more like a home video project than an actual movie. I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list, which is something that I usually enjoy, but I can't say that I was impressed with the performances put on in "Re-Elected".

Then there were the re-animated zombie presidents. Sure, while the concept idea was interesting and actually had potential, then the concept was just brutally cut short with inferior zombie make-up and that God awful sound that they opted to have the zombies make. It was just too much, and that feral, bestial growling sound just utterly took away the zombie-feel of the movie, making it something very stupid instead.

"Re-Elected" is not a great addition to the zombie genre, be it a horror comedy or not. In fact, this is a movie that I would recommend you just don't even bother with, if you enjoy horror comedies that are centered upon a zombie theme.

My rating of this 2020 movie lands on a mere two out of ten stars.

This movie was actually not as bad as you'd think. It may sound cheesy but give it a shot and you'll have some laughs.
