Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Gatto Nero I knew I should have known better to see a zombie movie with Chris Kattan in it.I can't help it, I watch anything with a zombie in it.I really knew I was in trouble when I saw Brian Posehn as a zombie. I mean he makes an imposing one being that he is 6'7" in height. But they made him a bumbling idiot zombie and not scary at all. He even bites chicken's head off to eat brains! Come on! Right there I knew I was in for a mediocre zombie flick..Now James Denton as 'Elmer Winslow' was somewhat good casting. He does an OK cowboy. But Chris Kattan? No way! He is just so..feminine in his way of acting. And he being the love interest of the beautiful Navi Rawat who plays 'Sue' Geronimo's niece, was a joke. And I wasn't laughing.Leslie Jordan as 'Padre' was OK and was the only character caught up in some suspense with zombie s all around him and he trying to just get some water without being seen. His scenes were short and in the end his part was wasted.The whole movie stunk for on a lot of levels. 1st of all the zombies talk! And not like in the way funnier and scarier classic 1985's 'Return of the Living Dead' talk-like-a-way but like regular people!? And you can't kill a zombie the conventional way of shooting them in the head!? According to Geronimo, if you are bitten and turn into a zombie, you can become normal again by eating the flesh of the medicine person who put the zombie curse in the 1st place! Come on! That just killed it for me. Zombies are just not suppose to talk in any way shape or form!or once you have been bitten , you can't become normal again! Yeah right!I'll give this movie a couple of firsts though. Besides the talking like regular folks zombies, we have a sword-yielding zombie!, a Zombie dog cameo!? And the ultimate clincher, skipping zombies!!? I kid you not, when I saw Brian Posehn, who at the beginning of the film had killed his wife and daughter and now at the end of the film he digs them up from their graves and they rejoice they are back together again as a family albeit a zombie one, and they skip off to the sunset and "die" happily ever after was just too much. Even their dog became a zombie! But the ultimate greatest 1st is...and the only part that made me chuckle for a sec was when the 'Cletus' character, played by Chris Coppola, who is now a zombie goes off to urinate (a 1st in where a zombie actually has bodily functions)and comes back crying to Sheriff Claypool played by Matt Besser(yes he's related to the 3 Stooges Joe Besser:he is his Grandson) And hands him something and the sheriff says , "What the hell is this a baby field mouse?" And Cletus says, "No it's not" and the sheriff just realizes what it is, a zombie penis!! LOLAlright, so if you are in the mood for a stupid zombie movie, them look no further and watch this Western/Zombie fiasco.
McQualude Undead or Alive (2007) Is a small budget zombie western comedy (or zombedy, as the filmmakers call it). Before his death, Geronimo cast a curse on the White Man that results in zombification. This causes a lot of grief for two misfit wannabe cowboys who along the way experience a lot of adventure, friendship, love, loss and eventually the perfect western ending. But these aren't your typical Romero ghouls, they reason and even speak, more familiar to fans of The Return of the Living Dead, a shot to the brain won't kill them but instead you have to cut off the head. The cast had good chemistry and seemed to be having a lot of fun, after the credits there is a gag reel so stick around for that. You'll see some familiar faces: Cristin Machele, a staple of B zombie movies who always has a topless scene, plays a saloon girl who saves the goodies for a priest. James Denton who I recognized but couldn't place. And Brian Posehn from The Sarah Silverman Show. The make-up was at times primitive, the (thankfully) limited CGI terrible, but the writing was above par having been penned by South Park writer, Glasgow Phillips, and much of the dialog was witty. The girls are cute, not much nudity to speak of, the gore isn't over-the-top but comes at a steady pace. Undead or Alive isn't a particularly good zombie movie and it's a terrible western, but somehow it all comes together nicely and kept me well entertained. Recommended.
Paul Celano (chelano) OK this movie is a mostly a horror comedy with zombies. I believe they called it a zombedy or something weird like that. When I first saw the movie start, I thought I might hate it. But surprisingly it was not that bad. It was good enough for me to want to finish it. The main characters are played by James Denton and Chris Kattan. Denton was more of the mean cool cowboy where Kattan was just a cowboy wannabe who couldn't even shoot a gun. They are met later by an Indian girl played by Navi Rawat. I actually liked the characters played by Denton and Kattan, but Rawat seemed a little off. There are a couple fun characters in the film that I enjoyed more who were side people. One would be the first zombie to appear in the film. It was Brian Posehn. It was interesting to see him in make up. Then there was the priest, played by Leslie Gordon. He has an older style of comedy that it fun to watch. Now the story line of the film was not that good. They really proved this at the ending. But the fun they have throughout the film is what keeps you interested. Another surprise was the make up used for the zombies. Some movies like this will just make the skin pale and the eyes colorless and that is it. The zombies in this film were rotting like normal zombies. So overall, it was not that bad to watch.
FlashCallahan Army deserter Elmer Winslow and local cowboy Luke Budd are on the run after robbing the evil Sheriff Claypool, stealing his money and fleeing the town, they find themselves with an angry posse on their trail.Joining Elmer and Luke is an Apache warrior, who's out to wreak vengeance on behalf of her decimated people; her plan is to attack the U.S. Army wherever she can find it, and she takes Elmer up on his offer to go with her to the nearest Army outpost he knows.Their plans become complicated when they discover that, as a result of the great Apache Geronimo's curse on the white man, all the people of the surrounding areas have turned into zombies.While watching the opening credits for the film 'A Zombedy' pops up into the title segment, informing viewers that this will be a comedy.As soon as i saw that, i knew this was going to be a stinker. I just didn't know how much of a stinker it was going to be.The story is dire, the performances are not too bad, but given the material they have been given to use, they look embarrassed, and come the end of the film, it all feels like 'Ghosts of Mars'.They have tried to make it seem original by setting it in the Wild West, but it's all too obvious they are trying to cash in on 'Shaun of the Dead'.More yawn of the dead.
