  I like Zombie movies and when I saw this one had a 7 review I figured I'd give it a try.The acting is horrible. Some people have no business acting, Steven Luke is a prime example. He stumbles through his dialog like some kind of Zombie himself. No sense of timing at all. The FX in this are standard low budget digital crap and the makeup seems to be anemic for a zombie film. I really had to give it a 1 because it really deserves way less than a 7. My honest rating would be a 4.5 out of 10.

• Just an "Eh" kinda film

  What was George Romero's son thinking when he decided to produce this film? The movie was just eh. Definitely have seen a lot worse. Don't expect this to be like The Walking Dead or even George Romero's Night of the Living Dead. I was very excited to see Tony Todd in this. Even him couldn't save the film. The acting was not great at all. The lead actor and the villain was just terrible to look at. Tony Todd was the only decent one. They should have recast the whole thing. As far as the action and the gore goes, they should have cast actors that can actually fight or hire doubles. Or even have the actors go through extensive fight training, like Keanu Reeves in John Wick. You can totally tell the actors in this had no fighting background. They couldn't even hurt a fly if they tried. The people who played the zombies that dies help cover up the lead's fighting and the acting skills. All the zombies that died were a lot better actors than the leads like the zombies in the cornfield, the zombie that fell down the stairs "OUCH!", the zombie that went through the windshield "OUCH!", the tomahawk to the head zombie also "OUCH!", and most of all the combine scene was actually a nice touch. It's like they hired amateur/first time actors but hired professional I'm guessing stunt people. I'm assuming those were real stunt people, right? So, kudos to them! The camera work was decent. The set design was pretty damn good for the budget they had on this. The music however was a bit corny and unfitting to the film. The production could have used more of the money and brought on a composer that knows how to score this kind of genre. Don't expect John Williams or Hans Zimmer style of music or even like Halloween's John Carpenter. The directing in this felt a bit rushed. It's like they filmed this in like 2-3 weeks or something and did everything in like 1-2 takes. For a budget in the million, they could have spent more money on filming. Where did the money go? I'd wait until it comes out on Netflix or something.

• One of the best "comedies" of the year!

  If you're looking for a good zombie movie stay away from this awful film. If there was a script (which I doubt) I assume there was no money in the budget for a script supervisor to monitor continuity. The inconsistencies and time line mistakes drove me crazy. If there was there was a script, I hope the author never writes again. The acting was some of the worst I've ever seen. Zombies is almost completely lacking in anything original or creative. Even the name is lazy. There's one scene that I have to give some credit for and that was the one involving a combine. It was the one interesting minute in the whole movie and it was, literally, a minute. If you're looking for a movie full of unintentional hilarity...this is the one for you! I haven't laughed that hard at a movie in years. It may end up a cult classic as one of those "so ridiculously stupid it's funny" movies. My suggestion is to wait for it to come on SyFy or Netflix and turn it on when you need a good laugh.

• Horrible Script And Horrible Acting

  I'm a huge fan of Zombie movies. Zombies was brutally bad. I was only able to get through 25 minutes of the movie before having to turn it off. It was a waste of time and money. The worst part was the script. It's what you would expect if a 2nd grader wrote a zombie movie. The script was very predictable and cheesy. None of the cast was very convincing. It felt like acting from a local play. I've seen higher quality videos and production with an iPhone. The video and makeup quality were lacking. Needless to say, it seems like they were on a very tight budget. Bottom line...Save your money and find another film to watch.

• Don´t Waste Your Time Watching This Flick

  What can be written about the awful "Zombies"? The film is so bad that challenges the aspirant writer to find anything reasonable to be said. The screenplay is terrible and seems to be the sequel of another movie, beginning with two men in a cell during a zombie apocalypse. The one-dimension characters have no development and the situations are odd without any explanation. The direction and the acting are also not good and there are many flaws. But the worst is the conclusion, with the fate of the gorgeous Bena and what Luke learns from Sommers. My vote is two. Title (Brazil): Not Available
