Pot Zombies

Pot Zombies is the definition of absolute torture of a movie to watch. The only time you should watch this utter trash, is when your High (obviously) a young kid, or when your about to die. Cause this movie just might be the one to make you flatline.

Alright, alright. This is not necessarily what any critics would call 'oscar material' or even 'good' but don't think of this as something meant to be great. It's a supposed to be a goofy stoner zombie comedy, and that it is. I'll be honest, I have a bit of a bias here since I myself enjoy making films, but I loved this film. It has a nice analog feel that could only be matched by the likes of a home movie on an old VCR that you and your friends made years ago. That's exactly what this film feels like, one of your friends' movies from years ago that you're revisiting one lazy night. It's got a certain charm to it and watching it, you feel like you are part of the filmmaking experience. It's like you know the people who made this personally and you know they had a great time making this. Like I said, this film is not a masterpiece, in fact, it's awful. This would never be respected in any serious film community but it's not supposed to be. It's a fun movie that some friends got together and made one summer while they were off from college. I mean really, with a title like "Pot Zombies," what did you expect? But it's got character, you like this movie, you like the people involved, and you like that they had fun doing it. Also, this film has lots of zombies and pot, so it's super entertaining that way as well.

Well the film makers did mess it up. I honestly think I spent more money on the DVD then they spent making the movie. I picked this movie up hoping to have a good laugh at some cheesy low budget humor. But this film isn't even funny in a so bad it's funny kind of way. The movie doesn't have much of a plot to speak of, it is made up of some random threads that are loosely strung together involving people smoking pot and turning into zombies. There are also some bad attempts at humor. I could break all the elements of film making down and say where everything went wrong, but it would be quicker to just say everything about this is bad. Don't waste your money. Go to the dollar section of the store and indulge in some cheesy movies there. This movie isn't worth it.

Now, I realize that Troma didn't actually produce this pile of steaming dog crap but the fact that they would put their name on it shows how low they really are. Let's get one thing straight here, this is not a movie, this is a poorly random series of clips of different people getting high, turning into zombies, and eating their friends. There is absolutely nothing more to this film. You'll be happy if you stay away from it, far away.

There is no storyline at all, it's so amateurish and incohesive that I could have probably done a better job myself, hell, I know I could have done a better job. I'm not being cocky, I'm just stating how bad this movie really is. The acting is miserable as well as the pacing, music, editing, effects and absolutely everything else. There is not one single good thing about this film so do yourself a favor and just walk by if you see it on the movie shelves. I sure wish I had done as much.

Okay, first off, the only reason I gave this movie one star is because you can't give less than that. I could hear my brain cells dying in the first five minutes. The acting was CRAP! The dialogue was CRAP! If crap were on the bottom step, this movie would need a ladder to reach it. I have yet to fathom how this movie cost $10,000 to make. Maybe it was all the pot that was supposedly fake. I guess the only way I would really enjoy this movie is if I was high. I get that this movie is probably supposed to be a comedy, but just because it's making fun of horror movies doesn't mean it should be completely stupid. If you're thinking of buying or renting this movie, save your money. I was lucky enough to watch it uncut on television for free. So, while I didn't lose any money, there's a chunk of my life I'll never get back.
