Rockabilly Zombie Weekend

I guess it's okay if you like regurgitated zombie garbage. You could probably find a better zombie movie on YouTube by some 13 year old kids. As a matter of fact, look up Nazi Zombies In Real Life, watch it, and see how it stacks up to this. Go ahead, I'll wait.

So much better than this, right? And really, that's the problem with a lot of these awful zombie flicks. All the audience seems to care about is what kind of guns are going to be used, or how well stocked on beef jerky the theater's going to be, and that's what these directors cater to. This seems no different than The Walking Dead, or Zombieland, or the upcoming World War Z movie. These sorts of movies are made to appeal to the lowest form of movie goer there is. It's the kind of movie you have playing in the living room while you're hanging out, drinking beer, and talking about work. That is to say you're going to get more entertainment from your friends and your alcoholic beverage than you are going to get from this movie. I honestly wish I could tell you it's going to be different, but it's not. All you need to know is that some guy and some girl are getting married, and they seem to be a trailer trash couple that wants some sort of big fat redneck wedding (as if there aren't enough of those in America), then OOOH, ZOMBIES, then guns, then a bunch of fat old guys acting like bad-asses, then wham. It's over, and you're just kind of left telling yourself, "oh God, I could have been using that hour to feed the needy or volunteer at an animal shelter or do something productive instead of wasting my time with this." Even if it is an indie film, even if the director had no money or a solid cast, that doesn't excuse the fact that it's just some mediocre gory film that tries to get its thrills solely from shock value.

I originally watched this movie at a simultaneous five-screen showing back in february, because it contains one of my favorite actors and i try to keep up to date with everything he does.

sadly, despite being billed as a core extra, my on screen crush hardly appeared at all and when he did he was unrecognizable in huge amounts of makeup and with a silly punk fauxhawk. it was very disappointing, but the worst was still to come.

aside from some basic well-done cinematography (the kind you learn in the first year of film school) this movie has absolutely nothing going for it. the characters are shallow caricatures who never once feel like real people, and their attempts to emote fear or anger made me cringe. you never find yourself connecting with any of them and as a result the movie is just pointless gory scenes as people you don't care about get killed by zombies. not even the gore effects are done well, with low quality cgi being the order of the day. evil dead looked better and that was 30+ years ago.

if you want to watch something with zombies that looks, sounds and has better characters than this then you should watch someone play left 4 dead.

Or not. This is low budget and it can be seen. The effects might go off as OK (if you don't mind the obvious CGI and other things at times), but the acting is the one things that probably will break this movie for you. Make it barely watchable to put it that way. The story is pretty simple, therefor nothing to get excited about.

It tries to stay and be funny which does not work most of the time (unless this actually hits your sense of humor, which would be rare). What it did produce is one very nasty, but also very funny, if not political correct review here on IMDb by someone with the number 1969 in his nickname. Unfortunately it's the only review that user has written (2 years ago). More of that please - the review that is, not the movie

This movie is, in a word, boring. At least Birdemic was funny in its audaciousness. Rockabilly Zombie Weekend utterly fails to entertain me on any level. It's not funny, scary, or exciting. It's just dull.

This film doesn't do anything particularly wrong or right, and herein lies my dislike for it. One might think that it breaks at least some new ground in filmmaking, but the concept isn't particularly creative and strikes me as pandering.

Sometimes "indie" is just another word for "bad." I can't think of any reason someone would want to see this movie unless they were a huge zombie buff. Even if that's the case, skip Rockabilly Zombie Weekend. It's not worth your time or money.

I hated Rockabilly Zombie Weekend. The fact that it's "just a zombie movie" doesn't excuse the fact that it is bad, so I don't want to hear that excuse. That suggests that zombie movies are just popcorn fare, and as a horror buff I know that's not true.

The acting was subpar, the dialogue was comical, the special effects were laughable, and the camera work was something I'd expect out of a first-year film student. It amazes me that someone actually put money behind this project.

Whether you're looking for something to sink your teeth into or light entertainment, Rockabilly Zombie Weekend will satisfy neither need. Don't waste your time.
