It's hard to expect a lot out of a film that looks like it cost about $100 to make, and this one is no exception. There is no gore or even blood, which seem standard in a zombie film but not this one. That said, this had heart and some decent laughs for a cheap movie, but there were no actual midgets in it. There were some shorter actors and one guy walking around on his knees to pretend like he was a midget, but there were no midgets. I felt like I got cheated out of the quality midget entertainment that I signed up for. In the future I hope someone makes a real midget zombie film, because that's what discerning audiences deserve.

It's artsy and atmospheric and the actors do a stand-up job, it's even craftily filmed, but about halfway through I realized nothing was really happening, and wondered if it could be condensed into a much shorter version. By the end, my mind hadn't changed and I wondered if it should have just been a short. Then I discovered that the director had, in fact, based it on a 12 minute short, which I am now eager to watch to confirm that this thing would have made an absolutely brilliant short film.

This one was a slow starter, but by the 3rd episode they hit a really fun stride. The idea (parody of aftershows) isn't the most compelling, and I don't fault anyone for being turned off by the first episode, but they made it work. Plenty of repeat gags a la Zucker/Abrams/Proft films. I wish this one had caught on, I could have gladly watched another season.
