Zombie Driftwood

This is a fun zombie romp perfect for those who don't take themselves too seriously and have a heightened sense of the ridiculous. Make no mistake, it is a super low budget movie with some creditable performances from a completely unknown main cast and from a cast of zombie extras who are clearly having a great time putting on a show for the cameras. The jokes which are liberally sprinkled throughout the film consist of the more obvious groan-worthy puns (which are as subtle as the proverbial sledge hammer) and the hidden gems you have to look for throughout the film. That's what keeps you watching Zombie Driftwood - you won't believe what's coming next.

This was my first experience of the Zombie Comedy, and my verdict is that it's well worth watching for a laugh.

Epicly terrible. 74th movie I have watched in 2013 and this is THE WORST. No joke. Sometimes people think movies that open at the theater on an average American weekend are the worst. No, they're really not. Sometimes they may stink but they're not EPICLY HORRIBLE like this. But I will give some points to anyone who can get a bunch of people together to follow a script, film it, edit it and have people see it. No matter how bad the movie, that's an accomplishment. However, if it was me, I would not want people to know I was involved in any way. I'm almost embarrassed to mention I watched it. So bad it's not even funny. If I had my way I'd snap my fingers and this "film" would vanish from existence so no one would ever see it.

I watched "Zombie Driftwood" with no clue what it was about or what kind of movie it was, aside from it being a zombie movie. And being a zombie aficionado, I decided to give this movie a go. It didn't take very long before you come to realize that this is a zombie comedy, but not of the high end production.

The good thing in the movie was its originality, and they had put some effort into the movie. And the sets were nice as well.

"Zombie Driftwood" is not driven by a very potent story. It is fairly weak actually, a cruise ship stands on the shores of the Cayman Islands, and suddenly the island is flooded with zombies. But you never see the zombie actually come out of the massive ship! And most zombies were walking like they just had been probed by aliens. It was painful to watch some of the zombie shamble about like they were on fire and had to sneak through a meth-lab.

For being a low budget movie with unknown actors and actresses, I will say that most actually did a decent enough job, though there were the occasional horrible acting performance to be seen here and there.

Now, I am a metal-head myself and listen to nothing but metal. But the choice of music in this movie, like the title track, for example, was so out of place. It was too brutal for a movie, and it just didn't work that well. The zombie concert, however, worked out nicely, and it had just enough bad comedy in it to work.

I didn't understand the obsession with metal band t-shirts. Why did they have to be everywhere? Did the producer like metal music? If so, point taken and we got it already.

The zombie make-up, despite it being simple and low budget, it worked well enough. Keep in mind that this is not a massive blockbuster movie with a budget that most people doesn't see in a whole lifetime of working. So thumbs up for this.

And for a comedy, there weren't really any laughs to be found in the movie. Sure there were some scenes and moments that had comedy potential, but not to the point of breaking laughs. In the wake of "Shaun of the Dead", then "Zombie Driftwood" doesn't even reach up to the knees of Shaun...

They should have chosen not to have a zombie Adolf Hitler in the movie. That was a bit over the top, and it could prove offensive to a lot of people. Personally I found it to be annoying. Why would Adolf Hitler be on a cruiseship? He died in 1945, come on. And even if so, by the time that have passed since 1945 his reanimated body would be no more than a bones, not a fresh cadaver walking around spreading hate.

If you are a zombie fan and got an weird addiction to low budget movies that deviate from the mass market produced movies, then give "Zombie Driftwood" a go, otherwise there isn't much to come after here in this movie.

If zombies exist then they should be like this! A tongue in cheek romp on an exotic island that throws in fistfuls of jokes for those who like their humour to rattle! When zombies turn up at Driftwood beach bar on paradise island, it is every man and woman for him/herself especially once they have acquired a taste for alcohol. With handcuffed lovers, sexy dolls, a throbbing 'October File' soundtrack and a Scottish bagpipe thrown in for good measure, chaos soon engulfs the peaceful idyll. A bizarre bunch of alcohol-sodden beach bar regulars and visiting star crossed lovers are thrown a into life or death battle with the craziest group of zombies that ever graced a screen. They shop till they get chopped and eventually even insist that although they may have no brains they have, well, zombie rights.

If you like your humour poured on and your zombies merciless you can't go wrong. Go and enjoy . .

To start off I have a very high tolerance for crap horror movies but this had no redeeming features whatsoever. As a comedy it was incredibly devoid of humour, the jokes they did have - zombies taking over the film studio - were so over-worked that by the time you've seen them for the third time I can't imagine anyone would be laughing. Where I thought this film might excel, but didn't ,was as a schlock horror film but here still the gore was severely lacking.

Don't listen to the obvious reviews of those of who were involved with the film. So what if it cost them xx£ to make; a cheap crap film, is still a balls film.
