was this intended to be a comedy?


seriously... i mean, it has to be. yet, comedy isnt listed as a sub-catagory. anyone have any ideas?

It's an obvious spoof on Day of the Dead. I found some bits to be mildly amusing ie: Vox singing the national anthem, zombie head eating fingers

It's one of those where what's happening is funny as hell, but the actors/director play it straight. It's like a tongue in cheek type flick but the characters don't know it, if that makes sense.

Yes it's funny on purpose, but they never treat it like a comedy basically...
