With a title like "Ninja Zombies" you know right from the very beginning what you are in for here; low-budget zombie movie. I knew it from the moment I just read the DVD cover title. Let's see what else the movie has to offer:
Unchoreographed sword fights? Check.
Questionable acting? Check.
Ludicrous storyline? Check.
Stereotypical characters? Check.
Horrendous dialogue? Check.
True enough, this movie was exactly that. But it was all so corny and cheesy that it was actually fun to watch. This is a big time low-budget movie, but it has it's heart in the right place.
When you sit down to watch "Ninja Zombies" don't expect this to be a serious movie. It has amateur production written all over it. And don't expect it to be zombies in the likes of Romero's or anything else that has come to shamble across the big screen. But in lieu of this, if you enjoy ultra low-budget zombie comedy flicks and don't mind it looking like something you could make yourself if you have a DV camera at hand, then by all means sit down to check out "Ninja Zombies", because it is a cheesy, campy ninja movie with zombies.
Now, the movie is listed as 'horror' here on IMDb. Horror? Well, I wouldn't exactly call this a horror movie, but hey we all have our own unique ways to determine what is what.
Despite the questionable acting talents from the people performing in this movie, I am sure that they had a great time making it and were thrilled to see it actually make it out to the DVD market.
I loved the way that blood sprayed out whenever the zombies were struck by the 'Hell Sword'. Wait, let's back it up here. Zombies dating back to Feudal Japan still have fresh blood coursing through their veins? Alright then. And I loved the way it always just sprayed on the camera. It never sprayed the people in the adjacent area, nor did it ever spray on the walls, furniture, etc. (I guess the cleaning bill would probably take away too much of the budget!)
Then why did I only rate this movie 3/10? Well as much as I love zombies and ninjas, I just wasn't all that entertained by this movie. Sure it had a few moments, but in overall, it just wasn't my cup of tea. I am sure there is an audience out there for these super low-budget zombie movies, I am just not one of them.

Awesome Title. Crappy Movie. As a matter of fact the 1 star given is for the title itself. And that's it. Stick to just looking at the cover art of the movie and actually verbalizing the title "NINJA.....ZOMBIES" with a dramatic and enthusiastic voice complete with Shatnerian pause. That way you can actually have at least 30 seconds of honest fun. Just don't hit the play button. Save your time.
Despite the low budget this film is quite bad, the storyline is extremely cheesy and the script even worse. The actors are amateur and look at the camera frequently during the film. I received the film as a Christmas present so tried my best at liking the film but just couldn't manage to like it, all Credit for trying to create a decent film on a low budget but at best the film is below average
Positives - (very few) -costumes and makeup -special effects on such a low budget -the film ending
Negatives - -acting -terrible use of language like using the word frack instead of f**k -the length of the film ( Way too long ) -the choreography -the script :)

Released by an ancient incantation, a rageful horde of reanimated dead Ninja perpetrate a bloody suburban rampage with only cornball collegiate Doofi to stop them from world domination!!!! Ninja Zombies is a predictably silly, mostly fun no-budget Zom-splatter dorkfest. If the splendidly catchy title of 'Ninja Zombies', and it all it luridly suggests, has any appeal, then you might just appreciate this shambling Slop socky chunkblower. That being said, if the title Ninja Zombies, and all that it luridly suggests has no such appeal, then Ninja Zombies is resolutely not for you, dude!
Played strictly for goofy, gore-laden laffs, the crude filmmaking, rudimentary FX, and enthusiastically amateurish performances are all manifestly part of Ninja Zombies aggressively Tromaesque allure! Hey!!!!! Speaking of Troma, the legendary scion of sleazy splatter unleashes a colourfully Gun-ho cameo! I watched this based upon the notably goofy merits of its subjectively mirthsome trailer, which, is, quite frequently, an entirely risky business. I frequently found Cooper's jocular chop sloppy Ninja nerdquake's relentless dorkiness remarkably refreshing, but I can appreciate other's finding it monumentally irksome.
