Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
Konterr Brilliant and touching
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
gavin6942 A bunch of college kids accidentally unleash an evil curse that causes people to kill themselves and turn into Zombie Demons, also known as Zemons! Apparently this received mixed and negatives reviews from the critics, even the regular horror folks (Dread Central and Bloody Disgusting). I have to say I liked it more than they did, and while it may not have had much originality, it had some good jokes -- did no one appreciate the "Wicker Man" joke? And, of course, just having Christopher Lloyd in such a prominent role makes this worth watching, in my opinion. He was great, probably the best comedy role he has had in many years.
Sam Dales I saw this terrible movie for two reasons...Reason #1... Christopher Lloyd. I have loved the guy since the first time I saw him on TV. His is the real deal for funny.Reason #2... I LOVE ZOMBIE MOVIES! I am one of those zombie movie nuts. No matter how stupid or cheap a movie looks I will see it.Well I actually had my hopes up for this one and it turned out to be a real awful flick. Christopher Lloyd is actually really good as always but his part is super small. I don't want to ruin it but he is only in it for a short while and is the only entertaining character and only really good actor.Avoid this movie! It is very poorly written. Not badly produced but the effects are pretty stupid and the story is REALLY stupid with a lot of terrible over the top acting that is trying so hard to be funny that it is just sad.
Kathy Simmons I don't normally like horror films, but I was intrigued by Christopher Lloyd as a zombie. But he is not a zombie, he is a Zemon, and Zemons are Fast and Funny. The film itself isn't too scary, but had a colorful storyline. I still jumped a couple times but I laughed more.  Set at a rock and roll pace, there are loads of hilarious moments. The "Bees" call back is TOO GOOD, way too good ! Followed by the hot dog mug and gas station scene, I almost pee'd my pants ! It's really one of the funniest movies I've seen this year. Did I mention the 3D doesn't make you dizzy at all, it just brings the scenes to life, it was so well done. I was laughing so hard at one point, my 3D glasses fell off. I actually loved the entire film, long live Zemons!!!!!
last_in_line I saw the trailer for this and it looked like a decent movie. The review at UHM says that this movie is an example of a movie whose trailer is better than the movie itself. The trailer did it's job for me. I watched the movie. The movie itself wasn't that great.This movie is what a horror movie would be like if Nickelodeon made horror movies. Not that the language and content are squeaky clean or anything but the overall tone is quite silly which makes it hard to take the movie seriously.There were a couple of chuckle moments for me in the dialogue department but the idea of the movie falls flat. The zombie demons, or "zemons" as they call them, aren't trying to kill anyone which pretty much tells you all you need to know.Parts of the movie seem like they were written as sketch comedy show segments. Although entertaining, it just made this movie not for me.I give this movie a 4 out of 10 due to the few chuckles I had and Christopher Lloyd. If you're looking for a horror comedy on par with Shawn of the Dead, look elsewhere.
