Zomblogalypse

Although many things can be forgiven in low-budget horror films, poor writing cannot. While there are some funny moments throughout the film they are few and far between. The movie really becomes quite the chore to continue watching beyond a certain point. Campy and irreverent can be quite successful in this genre but this fails to deliver on any level. I recommend avoiding this one.

You are either going to get the humour or not and in that way the film is a bit like marmite- you will love it or hate it. The acting is wooden but that is part of the humour. It is good fun and sends up the genre. Watch it for what it is: a fun take on mass produced zombie films and don't expect it to be scary or horrific just very tongue in cheek.

If you stitched 9 episodes of the Zomblogalypse web series together, it wouldn't be as great as this. This has all the ridiculousness of that, but with a feature-length plot, and slightly better camera work.

For me, the film has a handful of laugh-out-loud moments of comedy gold.

The film could probably use a tighter edit, but for the most part it's fine, and there's a faster overall pace than many episodes of the web series.

I advise those unfamiliar with the show to watch a few episodes before seeing the film, to get to know the lead characters better.

Zomblogalypse started as a web series. Now it has spawned a movie spin off.

After the Zombie apocalypse. Some years later, Hannah, Tony and Miles decide to make a movie about surviving the Zombie apocalypse.

However they turn out to be inept filmmakers. Health and safety is lax, having real Zombies in the film set mean that the production crew start to whittle down.

This is a labour of love for the filmmakers. An absurd Zombie comedy that is part Shaun of the Dead and part Monty Python. Eventually the silliness starts to win you over but this is no Spinal Tap.

It does look a lot like an ultra budget home movie shot on an Iphone. Making movies is boring and so is this at the beginning.

It gets splatter heavy and gore crazy later on, but it is a little too late by then.

When I checked for this movie it had a score of 8-ish so I said i'd give it a try. 20 minutes of it made me come back here and write my first review. Please, DO NOT waste your time. This is horrible. Please don't waste time on this, I beg you, don't do my same mistake. As for the movie, it's just bad, not even comically bad, it's just B. A. D.
