Zombies

Frankly, I'm getting very tired of these Disney TV Movie Musicals. I mean, can't they think of other rather MORE IMPORTANT themes to write about and turn into a movie? It's always the girl and the guy coming from two different worlds, e.g. Descendants' Mal and Ben (Villain's Kid and Hero's Kid), High School Musicals' Troy and Gabriela (The Popular Jocka and The Nerd) and then this movie, a guy zombie and a "normal" girl? I mean, please find other important issues to write about.

This movie was literally a copy of Descendants and it was just the worst movie ever made and honestly really predictable

It's a classic Disney in every sense of the word, and yes we've seen it before with Descendants BUT, I did enjoy it. The actors were lovable, Zed especially. The wig that Addison(why do they always have names like Addison?) wears, the white one, is frigging awful and a better one should've been chosen, and all the zombies somehow look like the Jokers offsprings, which I just found plain weird, but all in all it's cute. If you like Descendants and wanna watch another movie like it, but with different characters, you'd probably enjoy this too.

Considering this is a Disney Channel TV movie, and not a theatrical film, it was very entertaining! The leads Milo Manheim and Meg Donnelly had great chemistry and their acting (including Bucky, Trevor Tordjman) was great, which you don't usually get with DCOMs. Even some of the leads in the ever-popular Descendents were lacking, so it was refreshing to see some better talent in this movie. I liked the overall tone of the movie and the cheerleaders reminded me a bit of Bring It On, in how they enthusiastic and sometimes corny they were in talking about cheerleading. One negative- I felt that the costuming and setting was a bit over the top. I understand this was done intentionally to portray the differences between the two worlds of humans and zombies, but the pastels and bright neon pink and green was just too much for the eye to take.

The music was good, a little cookie-cutter, but the song Someday was particularly sweet and effective in setting the tone and message for the movie. I thought it was a great statement for young kids on how racism is bad and we should be more accepting of other people/culture/differences, and I loved how Disney put it in the context of Zombies- fun and inspirational! I am curious to see if this gets a sequel and interested to see where they take the story next.

People are saying the message is good, but in all honesty Zombies is a terrible allegory for racism considering that every zombie was a mass murderer not too long ago in the movies universe and you know just... the concept of zombies in general. But overall, very bad movie, very fun watch, wouldn't watch again but I would reccomend
