Pot Zombies

...Be cause a plot was non existent. I mean...it is just random scenes of people eating people with cheesy, sometimes terrible looking blood/gore. There is a lot of Computer Generated blood splatter which looks absolutely dreadful, and near unbearable to watch. In a scene including an excellent performance by Lloyd Kaufman, there seems to be some really bad cg of something red flying around, I am assuming is supposed to be blood. The zombies have crappy looking glowing eyes, which reminds me of the glowing eyes in Lamberto Bava's Demons. Also, the movie only runs a bit less than an hour. However, I give it a 4 because although it is really, really awful I kind of enjoyed it. My favorite part is when a supposed police car comes after a hippie, and the police lights are CGI'd in the movie. It looks terrible, and it is hilarious. Worth a watch if you are bored, but don't expect a plot, or good special effects...or good production values...or good acting...well, you get the idea.

They also don't condone using tripods for exterior shots, providing their film with a plot or employing real actors. Hell, they obviously didn't even bother tapping high school or college theater classes for their "talent." Regardless, I can tolerate zero budget films like this if they are done with some level of originality or enthusiasm. I can also tolerate terrible acting. I know when you're just getting started sometimes you have to draft friends and family to play roles. However, this film lacks virtually everything that goes into a decent comedy, a decent zombie film or even a decent no budget film. It's basically just lame grade school level pot humor combined with some of the worst special effects you will ever seen. There isn't even a plot. It jumps from one pitifully unfunny "vignette" to another, with nothing linking it all together aside from toxic weed. So basically you'll get a bunch of 5-10 minute scenes, featuring a bunch of horrible actors pretending to be stoners, who sit around smoking pot before turning into zombies and killing one another. This goes on for about an hour or so and then it ends. Really pathetic. It's like they didn't even try and thought whatever they slapped together would be sold by title and concept alone. Nevermind the fact that contaminated pot turning the users evil is hardly a new concept. Remember CLASS OF NUKE 'EM HIGH from way back in 1986?

The film starts with three rednecks talking about the pleasures of cold beer and pulling tampons out with their teeth (yep, that's the level of humor you'll find here) while toking on a joint. Said joint turns them into green-faced zombies with glowing green eyes (horrid CG effect) who attack and start eating the others. Things cut to a classroom where a stoned student also transforms and rips his teacher's heart out of her chest. There are also scenes at a concert and a at a party, as well as other places. Each bit is cut with really horrible computer graphics, such as the film logo and animated joints; one has boobs and the other farts... oh, how witty. There's also a mock news program, captions and a subpar trip sequence or two. Absolutely nothing even remotely funny or interesting happens in the entire film. Toward the end, the movie throws the viewer a bone by having a gratuitous T&A lesbian scene with two goth girls making out. They smoke pot and when one goes down on the other, she turns into a zombie and starts "eating" the other girl. Hee Hee. Groan. There's also a performance from a band where the lead male guitarist stands on stage buck naked before impaling someone with his guitar. The special effects are typical of home video product, but this movie takes it a step further and makes it seem even cheaper by employing some of the lamest CGI blood spurts you'll ever see.

The film was released by Troma and features some obligatory Troma in-jokes. There's a poster for TERROR FIRMER on a wall and Lloyd Kaufman shows up in a stupid cameo as a retarded pizza delivery man who is killed. Another clichéd touch is a clip from NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD playing on a TV set in the background, which is ironically the only point of interest here.

Even if you're a zombie movie fanatic like I am, my advice is to skip this one. It's a rip-off and a waste of time.

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.

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.

first of all i am from Belgium so my English sucks big time! you c'ant say i didn't warn ya But now the movie, well i thought it sucked big time the start was week and the movie stayed on the same tension the whole time , there wasn't any sign of a story it just flips from 1 smoking zombie to another 1.

You can say that it was kind of funny for a few minutes because the idea was original but then again you can say even for a low budget movie you can do a lot better. I hope they do next time in there new movie Coke zombies or something lol.

i give a 3 for its originality and I secretly think that the weed was real despite the directors comment hope you can make something out of my English crap:) see ya all folks
