ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
sachman71 Piece of dung movie. This guy who made looks like the kind of guy who brags about the success of others. He's like that scrub from the TLC song. He latches onto the success of others trying to impress the girls but usually get sloppy seconds. Do Not Waste Your Time. Not much else to to say about this piece of crap.
PaleBarbiedoll The plot is very original, depicting a father and son at war with the undead, as well as at times, with each other. Along with Mack, Jesse and Ashley, there is a whole band of supporting characters that will leave you in no short supply of laughs. From the sniveling, power hungry Norman, to the "innocent" and confused Steve, there is truly something everyone can enjoy. Freight Train Films truly accomplished a Hollywood-grade movie, between the quality of the acting, the set design, and the SFX, it makes me proud to be from the state that this was filmed in. If you're looking for a movie to take your family to see this Halloween, I highly suggest How to Kill a Zombie.
jackahlq Had a great time at the world premiere of this film. Not a big horror fan, but wanted to support local arts and I was very pleased. I enjoyed the acting, the makeup that was a bit gross but not too frightening (I am a big sissy). The story was cute and has a nice mix of clichés and local humor which I think will make this film appeal to a larger audience. On screen graphic images were not overwhelming (I am a very big sissy) and I would be comfortable bringing a 9 or 10 year old. I believe that some of the running jokes will become great cult classic lines. This is a family friendly film, funny, some really good gags and running jokes. Had a good time identifying local places. Not a big budget film, but campy, fun, and entertaining and an all around good time. I am really looking forward to the next film!
Dan Blake What a great way to spend time with my wife and friends. I am a huge fan of the Walking Dead series on AMC and love funny zombie movies like Shaun of the Dead and Zombieland. So this movie was a "no brainer" (no pun intended. We were cracking up at a few of the more memorable zombies but loved the pacing and plot. Excellent running gags throughout the movie too. The main characters were believable and the ladies were very easy on the eyes too. I have always been a fan of lower budget movies that do not rely on CGI for the big effects. My hat is off to the directors and producers and the sound guys were great too! Cannot wait 2 see the sequel 8). Great movie from a Maine crew with Maine actors filmed in Vacationland.
