I see a bunch of negative reviews and I gotta say they're wrong. This movie is hilarious. I don't know what they were expecting but it delivered what I was expecting. Loved it.
haven't laughed so much in ages an absolute ripper of a film with 3 great comedians leading the way in this top notch horror comedy.
A pearler of a film with the right amount of horror and comedy a film that's set to be a classic , Jim Jeffries and Gary Fleet are outstanding and Alex Williamson is tops. One of the funniest films i've seen so many funny lines great comic timing well written script and great work by a young director, 3 tradies trapped in a telephone exchange , beer zombies,comedy what more could you want
can't wait to watch it again in the nearfuture.
give it a crack you won't be sorry top notch stuff.

This is a boring, terribly written, poorly executed, cheaply shot, amateurish production. Even for a deliberately stupid zombie comedy "Shaun of the Dead" knockoff, this movie is pitiful. The acting is horrifyingly bad. The jokes are terrible. The story is mind-numbing and stupid. There is nothing good about this movie whatsoever. Not even an occasional laugh, or any cool effects or zombie kills. There's only a handful of zombie extras and it looks like they made this for about ten bucks. They repeat the same jokes over and over. This is the worst zombie comedy film I've ever seen. Skip it. You're welcome.
This film truly sucks. It's not even worth watching for free. Don't do it to yourself.
The script is mind-numbingly dull. It's 95% talking with some very average jokes occasionally and about 10 zombies. The plot is non-existant. The acting is weak, but the actors didn't have much to work with. The cinematography and direction is basic and uninspiring. At least the sound/dialogue is clear. The zombie makeup is not bad.
They also use paintballs to kill zombies...
I'm all for low budget, but this is not good at all; it's boring and there's way too much dialogue. Even with low budget you can still make a great film. The director and producers chose not to do this. In fact, I think the director didn't actually do anything.
Zombie films are easy prey for low budget, but the filmmakers are just lazy here. Apparently it's a bunch of guys and a token girl hiding in a telephone exchange with zombies outside. Sound like a great premise for a zombie film? No, it really doesn't.
At the time of writing it has a 4.9 rating on IMDB. It doesn't deserve this rating. It deserves a rating of zero. I would've given it at least 1, but it lost that when a zombie picked up a swipe card and immediately went and used it to open a door. Unfortunately 1 is the lowest I can give this total bucket of puss.

I have to say, I enjoyed this a lit more than I expected. It had lots of great one liners and awkward comedy moments, and zombies. Plus me, as a zombie extra, I should probably mention. Alex Williamson might well get another role playing the Aussie larrikin based on this performance. Most of his lines were pretty funny and pretty well delivered. Greg Fleet was also very solid and delivered some great lines. Plot wise I loved the concept, and the interplay between the characters was pretty clever. There wasn't a whole lot going on plot wise other than enough to deliver the next classic one liner or gore filled scene, but that wasn't really the point. One minor criticism, the military angle was unresolved, and seemed a bit of an afterthought. Overall, it was pretty bloody hilarious, and well worth your time, even if some of the humour borders on being more than a bit wrong. The opening image and the ending were original and unforgettable. The next movie Daniel and Declan make I'm sure I will also love, as the ideas, writing and humour overall are great. Then again I loved Hot Tub time Machine, so probably don't take this as gospel. To sum up, in my book it's already a cult classic. Aussie zom com - brilliantly realised.
