The Zombie Club

The movie took place in a high school, where all these teenagers were put into detention. They heard a scream coming from the lab and when they walked into the room they came out with superpowers. The movie was based on anti-bullying where it showed throughout the story. It showed Justin bullying the kids earlier in the story. Finally, once they had the same problem, he bonded more with them and become an anti-bullying club to stop it. The other theme is more science-fiction where the superpowers from the Poison Dart Frog came into place. The movie focused on teenagers because there is more bullying between them, and the movie was in a high school, so it shows who it's targeting.

The strengths overruled the weaknesses, because the movie was well put together. The characters played their roles well and it showed from start to end. The scenery fit the story well and matched the genre of it. The dramatic effects were well put together and added the science-fiction and spooky part to the movie. The only weakness was the lack of scenery, because it was well put together in the high school but outside would've added a lot more.

I liked the movie and the story there was behind it. I would recommend to someone who likes more science-fiction due to the superpower theme of it. It interested me since I not only knew the people, but also the school it was filmed in. The only reason I had some dislikes is due to the unrealistic part, but other than that it was overall good.

Usually, when I hear the words "faith-based film" I quietly decide to skip it and move on. I was burned by too many church screenings in the mid-90s, especially those geared toward a youth audience. However, The Zombie Club is unique, and well-worth your time. It's a genuinely entertaining film where the message is clear without sacrificing the story. And, to be frank, it's much higher quality than the movies we sat through when I was a kid.

In a small town, a diverse group of students find themselves stuck with the typical high school labels (smart girl, jock, pretty girl, nerd, stoner, goth kid) and they can't get along because they are all too busy trying to fit in with their own tribe. Soon enough, those with the social clout to get away with it start to bully the unpopular students. Coincidentally, a group of bullies and the bullied end up in Saturday detention together. There they, and their delightfully absent-minded science teacher, are infected with toxic gas emanating from a shipment of poison dart frogs mistakenly sent to the public-school lab. From that time on, they find themselves endowed with supernatural powers, but this comes at a cost: They are slowly degrading mentally and within a few days they'll be dead... or maybe undead. Losing their humanity, however, causes them to find it in each other. The group ends up bonding and working together to curb bullying in their school.

Movie goers of a certain age will recognize the title of this film as a nod to the "The Breakfast Club" with which it shares many intentional similarities- From Saturday detention to a group of students bonding over the struggles of adolescence. For this and other reasons, The Zombie Club is a movie that can cross generations. But it hopes to cross social paradigms too. By the end of the story, viewers will likely find an open door to discuss bullying in general and that seems to be the filmmaker's intent. Somehow it achieves this without becoming too preachy or feeling bad. But it's more than a discussion starter. It's a fun movie in its own right. I'd recommend it for anyone.

The Zombie Club, directed by Aeyron Moore, is a film of six high school students who all come from very different home lives and social statuses. They all get Saturday detention with a science professor as their chaperone. The high school students are all sitting quietly and then a wave of confusion hits them when they hear their professor scream from down the hall. Next, the students all go to search for the professor and find him in a storage room with toxic gas surrounding him. They go into the storage room to save him. When they do so, they inhale some gasses themselves, and the rest is a mystery.

The movie, starring actor and director Dean Cain, was and outstanding production with realistic special effects, and superb acting. I enjoyed how they incorporated bullying in the film. I also enjoyed how they showed the lives that some teens live in.

I would recommend this film to a young adult audience. The film sends a powerful message to eliminate bullying altogether. I loved the acting and the special effects. Overall a fantastic film.

The Zombie Club by JC Films is a movie about a group of kids that don't necessarily get along until something strange happens while they're in detention. They eventually get along and help each other out. Assuming the theme is about bullying being a dumb thing to do; the targeted audience is high school and middle school age kids. Though the movie had a good storyline, a few well-known actors, and a wholesome ending; there were a few faults within. First, the acting seemed quite scripted at times and didn't sound/feel natural. Secondly, the music choice was subpar. Some changes could be made to it, but I assume it's because it is a low budget film and rights to music are expensive. Third, some of the sound effects sounded a little bit off. When they were eating cookies, it sounded like they were eating chips. Along with the sounds being off a bit you could hear some static through the sound effects almost like they were recorded in a room without sound cancelation or a lot of reverb. Some points in the film had visual effects that went too crazy and were unnecessary. For example; when the kids' and the teacher were walking down the hallway when detention was over, the effects were too heavy but would have been fine if they didn't flash in and out. It just makes it corny and adds to the feel of a low budget movie. If the budget was a little bit bigger, I feel that this could be a lot better Overall, The Zombie Club was a good movie that was enjoyable much of the time. I do recommend it for a teacher or school looking to play a movie for their class or if you're just bored and want to get trapped into a good story.

This movie was about some highschoolers that received detention and ended up becoming zombies with superpowers because of a mix up. The movie focused a lot on bonding and anti-bullying which I thought was a great message.

My boyfriend picked the movie to watch as we're avid zombie movie watchers. The movie was displayed in the horror section on Amazon Prime, therefore we believed it was going to be a movie for young adults/adults. Not only that, but it had 7 stars on IMDb. Therefore, that is the reason I am giving it the rating I am, since it was presented as a movie not specifically for children.

The acting was bad, the makeup was bad, and the special effects were awful. Watching this movie, I quickly caught on it was more of a Disney Channel Original movie kind of thing, but I decided to still give a chance in that area. And even with that narrative for myself, it was still missing a lot. The story was very lacking and although it had a decent enough foundation(generous), there was so much missing and I found myself questioning a lot of things happening.

Ergo- Movie is good for kids under 10 or else you're going to be thoroughly disappointed.
