Konterr Brilliant and touching
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
artpf Turning the zombie film on its head, this film is an oddball comedy from the perspective of the brain munching monsters themselves.Beware of people posting raves. They worked on the film. You can tell who they are because they only have ONE review posted. That said, this is actually a really good humorous zombie flick. It's well acted and has a really good mix between horror action and comedy.I'd recommend you give it a try. It's well written too. The switcheroo is the zombies all think they are normal and when they talk to each other, they see each other as normal but those who aren't infected see them for what they really are. And it provides a lot of humor.
atinder I think this movie was nice change from the normal Zombies we are used to getting, the idea was fresh and original at the times.As this movie we see view of the zombies for a change. Small plot four friends ended up eating ice cream which was green, unaware what was from toxic barrel that used to make it, they soon turn into zombies. What like about this movie is that when they are acting normal people the movie, it's in colour and we see them acting like Zombies the movie is black and white, this happens though-tout the whole movie. I found this movie very funny, there some really great jokes, which worked really well, which had me laughing out loud.The acting from the whole cast was really good, and the zombie make up effect was really good and the other effect in the movies were really well made as well. I do this movie was really very low the gore, I did not found that gory at all, which was a little disappointing.However it's a really good Horror/Zombie comedy, but don't expect anything like Braindead aka Dead Alive or Shaun of the Dead.I did found my self laughing at this movie more then I did while watching Zombieland, Which I thought was really good as well. 8 out of 10
dutch-5-741195 I am so sick of seeing the same tried and worn out story lines in Zombie movies. This movie is a much needed kick in the head to all movie writers. Stop feeding us the same old garbage.From the beginning this movie is sharp, funny original and far better then 90% of the low budget Zombie flicks I watch. Kitty Go Boom is the best line in Years. No reliance on flashy effects or over shocking blood and guts. This movie moves on the story and character development.I now feel bad for all those Zombies I cheered being killed in the thousands of movies I wasted my time watching before this one.Zombies need love to.
kosmasp Talk about wasting a good idea ... well a pretty good idea! And the second star I gave this movie, relies only on that "new" perspective on zombies. While I had read and heard, that the movie tried to do something different than other zombie movies, I hadn't read what it was they were trying to do.And it was good that I didn't. Because for 30 sec there, I was really delighted. The 30 sec. being the ones, right after I realized what the big twist of the movie is (I won't spoil it, if you don't already know it). Problem being though, that after those initial "fun" 30 sec (and before those 30 sec. too, if you will), there is a really annoying movie. A movie that tries so hard to be funny, that you almost feel sorry for it, because it really tries.But it just doesn't cut it. Of course you could argue, with the fact, that it has a pretty good general voting here and it even won in Sitges (I seriously don't know, what they were on, but there you go with tastes!). But then again, they must really dug the idea that much that they forgave the amateurish acting, the jokes that just couldn't (deliver) and inconsistencies that can make your head spin around ... in a bad way! Stereotypical and just plain flat, handling the idea with little to no care, just to make a joke or two ... While having the charisma of a dead corpse (note: not an undead one, because they actually might have some left ...) Independent/small movies need our support ... but they also need to get their ... act together, so that there is something we can cheer for! Look at "Right at your door" for Low Budget perfection! Or the British "Salvage"!
