Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

thomasjay-52277 As the title probably suggests this is by no means a cinematic masterpiece or what it potentially could've been but regardless the unusual concept of pitting off innocence and evil against each other is quite welcoming and fun as we see three scouts 'corrupted' by the unfolding apocalypse. As I've previously said no classic in the making but certainly a brisk laugh that's very light hearted a good rainy day watch

CJFouraki Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse is a fast, fun zombie film that doesn't do anything new, but is pretty entertaining.The zombie effects and make-up were really well done, giving us some really bloody, freaky zombies to watch die. The visual effects were really well done, both practical and CGI, giving us some really cool kill scenes ranging from traditional headshot kills, to glass bottles to the head with blood pouring out of it, to makeshift hardware store kill machines. There was some inventive stuff in this film.The characters were fun and worked well together. All parts were acted well enough although they struggled to deliver some of the less-than-stellar lines at times. But each had their moments and I don't have any complaints about the 4 protagonists. The comedy was pretty good with a few laugh out loud moments. Some moments were chuckle worthy and others you may have given an internal giggle. There was a lot of gross sexual humor in terms of zombie genitalia and the likes so if you're easily offended, you probably won't like these moments a whole lot as the film isn't afraid to show anything and I can dig that.The sound effects and design were pretty well done, giving us the typical meaty, disgusting gore sound effects. There were some good music choices in here that made for cool or funny scenes. The film soundtrack itself was uninspired however.The cinematography was fine and so was the editing for the most part. There were some problems though. A trampoline scene that was edited to make them look like they were jumping the fence even though they clearly weren't getting distance (although this might've been done as weak visual comedy). Towards the end, the party strobe lights are almost epilepsy inducing and are a little distracting.Overall, it's another zombie film. It's gory, full of action and damn fun. Nowhere near as good as say, Shaun of the Dead, but it gets the job done and I recommend it. 6/10 good gory entertainment

Floated2 Comparing this film to other Zombie films, Scouts Guide doesn't rank among those other films such as Zombieland or even Shawn of the Dead. Scouts is rating R which is filled with lots of language, some nudity and typical zombie violence but the atmosphere of the film feels more so PG-13 (or so towards its audience). Not much comedy in the film and it results in off bizarre zombie gags that aren't funny. The lead character of Ben (Tye Sheridan) does a good job playing the likable lead character along with his friends, which are there as typical characters and not as likable. This film plays out as a cross between Superbad and Zombieland, but not as funny or entertaining, interesting as those two. Scouts is quite decent but as a whole it's otherly predictable and quite forgettable.

SnoopyStyle A slacker janitor at a lab causes chaos unleashing the zombie apocalypse. Augie Foster, Ben Goudy and Carter Grant are best friends and scouts. They are also getting old to be scouts under Scout Leader Rogers (David Koechner). Nobody else is signing up. Ben and Carter want to leave. They hit a deer on the road. Carter's sister Kendall Grant, her boyfriend Jeff and her friend Chloe stop on their way to a party. The deer disappears. Ben and Carter plan to sneak away from the scout campout later that night to join the party. Rogers is attacked by zombies. Ben befriends hot strip club waitress Denise Russo who buys beer for the boys and later come to their rescue.The concept is right there in the title. The start is alright. It's all set up and ready to go. I am expecting something smart and funny like Shaun of the Dead. The first thing I would add is some kind of Scout handbook (Guide) which the boys use to battle the zombies. The closest is Augie trying to scare the Britney Spears zombie. That could have been funnier but at least they tried. It's a lot hot women, zombies, and three geeky dudes. The guys are non-descript but solid geeks. The writing is simply not smart enough. It's still better than most zombie B-movies. This could be something really fun but it's only more of the same.
