I saw this movie here in Texas with my common-law wife, during the Dallas International Film Festival.
Buck Wild is a brilliantly crafted zombie horror comedy, with a definite Texan twist.
To begin with, let me just comment briefly on the superb, professional quality of this film. The editing is superb.
The acting and writing achieve what acting and writing is supposed to achieve: the characters and conversations are completely believable (despite the zombie plot), the audience quickly develops affection for the characters and their individual quirks, none of the humor is forced and the jokes are HILARIOUS. Since the editing is so good and the gore-versus-laughs factor is pretty well-balanced, the movie basically feels like you're watching a "good horror" and a "good comedy" at the same time; the two do not detract from each other as is so often the case in the horror-comedy genre (the laughs do not detract from the gore/shocks).
Basically: imagine if you and a group of quirky friends went on a hunting holiday on a ranch in Texas, and ran into a zombie epidemic. This movie basically shows what would happen.
This film deserves to be a cult classic. Now if only the people who own it would put it on DVD, so it could achieve said status...
