Hot Wax Zombies on Wheels

I knew about this movie only by its title, but I never actually got around to watching it before now in 2024. I have to say that I wasn't really harboring much of any grand expectations to director Michael Roush and writer Elizabeth Bergholz. But given the movie's title, I figured that I would be in for a horror comedy.

This was a brutally dull movie to sit through. Especially since the storyline was a dumpster fire of a storyline. There was nothing enjoyable or entertaining about the rubbish that writer Elizabeth Bergholz had conjured up for this movie.

I gave up 42 minutes into the movie, as it was painstakingly obvious that there would never be any zombies in the movie. And I was ready to claw my eyes out from sheer and utter boredom from the lack of an interesting narrative. So yeah, the movie's title was pretty misleading.

The only familiar face on the cast list, for me, was actor Nils Allen Stewart. I can't say that the acting performances in the movie were particularly impressive or memorable. But at least they weren't among the worst of acting performances that I've witnessed in zombie movies. Usually I like watching movies with a cast ensemble of unfamiliar talents on the screen, but I have to say that the actors and actresses didn't really have much of anything wholesome to work with here.

This is not a movie that I will ever return to attempt finish watching. Nor is it a movie that I would recommend for fans of the horror comedy genre. There just simply wasn't a single ounce of laughter anywhere to be had.

Well, maybe if you a young teenager watching this movie, you might find something worthwhile in the movie.

My rating of this abysmal dung heap lands on a one out of ten stars.

Lots of amateurs behind and in front of the camera for this grade-z home movie, but not one of them is able to bring anything of value to this schlock. There's not a single joke that works. Oh well, the DVD makes an interesting drink coaster.

Pretty awful stuff. Even though I thought I knew I was getting into a trashy trashy movie it exceeded my expectations of badness. The worst thing about it though is that it's just dull. I was almost falling asleep a lot despite not being tired, I was up for hours after it finished! Some people will like it, but only very, very easily entertained simple-minded folks with no sense of discretion in what they watch. Hell, I like a bunch of Troma and other low budget trash like Ankle Biters and Troll 2. Don't make the mistake of thinking that this is in that class. Those movies are actually funny. The thing with this one is that it trys to be funny and manages only to mildly amuse for a second here and there.

One thing, if you are a fan of fake boobs you will probably think it's great, as there is a fair amount of attempting to wax womens tits for some reason. Well, the reason being to show plastic tits for those that like that kind of thing. I'm a naturals fan, so this movie really had nothing for me at all.

Granted this will not win any awards, but I found it funny, in a stupid kind of way. The director obviously didn't intend for the film to be a serious horror film, and it's in the very presentation of it being a serious film that makes it funny. To me, this is a grab-a-beer-sit-and-giggle movie. It's a little slow in the first 15 minutes, but then seems to pick up tempo. The soundtrack is great! I've been looking for the soundtrack to buy, but can;t seem to find it. For anyone interested in seeing this - there's very little skin, though it does have some topless scenes. It's a romp, if you're in a silly mood. Having been around independent productions, the screen quality of this film is tremendous.

My only requirement is production value. I'm just not down with 7th grade video projects for the camera club. That brings us to this. This is just friggen pathetic. FIN
