Last of the Living

This movie is extremely low budget, so if that's not your thing, you should think twice before watching it.

The story was pretty weak and the zombies were a joke; they milled around so slowly that the protagonists were able to walk through them at times, striking out at any that ventured close enough. And yet, at other times, they were "pinned down" by a handful of them.

However, I enjoyed some of the music, and the characters were kind of endearing, so I ended up sticking with it to the end.

What can I say? If you have nothing better to do, this movie is not the WORST way to pass your time ..

I knew this not going be any where near as good or as funny as Shaun of the dead funny but I did expected to be be funny then Dance of the Dead, i Found that even funner.

This was another that been on my watch list for long time, I have tired watch before, As this very low budget movie, I get putting off.

A contagious virus is turning everyone into zombies, and the only hope for survival lies in the hands of three couch potatoes.

The movie starts just like 28 days later, when Man in mid 20's is walking around empty street and News flash of it at the start of what going on.

As Its went to meant to Horror comedy but I didn't find any of infected that scary at all, some were very stranger then others, some dodgy make up effect and it wasn't really that gory at all.

Felt same scenes were getting repeated over and over again and those scenes end up dragging at well, I do mean killing infected scenes. well.

I don't think I laughed more then once, The thing that I laugh was not really that funny but I didn't find any of other things funny at all.

The acting was really tame time from most of the cast, at the ending what was with shouting, that way, way over the top.

Ending was predictable and kind boring for zombie to end that way!

Hoping 3rd the movie of the day is not a bad one

Sometimes home grown can surprise you. Expectations for this low budget kiwi zombie flick set in Christchurch were not high for this reviewer, but the comedy horror feature length spoof turned up trumps recently with its premiere at the NZ Film Festival.

The cost to make the film was rumoured to have not reached the six figure mark. But it doesn't show, as this film has style, following in the tracks of Peter Jackson's early effort "Bad Taste" with its exploding sheep and kiwi humour mayhem.

It opens with a lone figure tramping deserted streets that suggests a post apocalypse setting. Zombies appear suddenly and are dispatched just as quickly in a over the top splatter manner by said lone figure. He links up with two fellow survivor mates who also casually knock off scary looking zoms with a skill saw, baseball bat, a golf club and any other weapon to hand.

The trio are an unlikely combo of geeky ex accountant Ash (Ashleigh Southam) and his two mates Morgan (Morgan Williams) and a raving rock and roller Johnny (Robert Faith). They get by as best they can in spite of the flesh munching undead menace.Then the love interest arrives in the form of gorgeous young scientist (Emily Paddon-Brown) as she seeks to find the vaccine that will save what's left of the normal world. Sexual rivalry is of course then let loose amongst the chaos.

Crazy stuff, but delightfully delivered with some neat acting, very funny dialogue, great soundtrack and judicious editing. It has that sort of zany "Flight of the Conchords" feel about it, and could easily become a cult classic. Impressive first effort, lots of stars, a madcap film well worth a visit if it comes back in the mainstream cinemas.

For a low budget movie I thought this was pretty good. The characters are entertaining and work well together and the acting is pretty good. The story moves at a fair pace and I liked the music too.

On the downside there's no real explanation as to why the three of them have survived but hardly anyone else has. If a guy with a golf club can take on half a dozen zombies it seems unlikely the situation could have spiralled so far out of control that there's hardly anyone left alive. They could have written around this pretty easily, it's a shame they didn't.

I'm guessing most of the film of the city was shot in the early hours when there was nobody around but the clean streets look unconvincing for a zombie apocalypse film. If this was a 60 million dollar movie it would be more of a problem but it didn't spoil it for me, though I thought the riot footage at the start was a bit poor and clearly depicted a riot rather than zombies attacking people.

I'm not a big fan of horror comedy but I do like zombie movies and I enjoyed this one, give it a try - it's worth a watch. The berserker move made me laugh every time.

I bought it, because I was fooled by the "destined to become a cult classic" sticker on the front.. It's nowhere near being a cult classic, I'd be surprised if it's remembered in a few years..

The characters were funny enough, most of the time, but sometimes also too much.. Like lead actor Morgan got annoying in the end with his cocky attitude, could've been done better..

Zombies farting all the time isn't my thing either.. Zombies suddenly learning to run in the middle of the movie isn't my thing either.. An ending you've seen many times before isn't my thing either..

Also a very big concern I have.. WHY do some zombie heroes and heroins try to find a cure, that can turn the zombies back to normal?? Who'd want to be a rotten human? Zombies are DEAD and CAN'T be turned back.. You can maybe make a vaccine, so you can become immune, but a cure to turn you back would never be possible in any zombie universe..

"You've been turned back to normal! Now go live your life again!" "But.. My guts are all over the floor.." *drops dead again*

Rent it, if you MUST see it!
