Absolute feces


I actually got into a philosophical discussion with the Blockbuster employee who rented this to me. I said, "I know, I know; there are a million 'good' movies I want to see, but then I find myself saying, 'Hey! A new zombie movie!'"

He responded, "It's the promise of the unknown. A movie you don't expect to like which happens to please is far more exciting than a well-known 'good' movie that is 'good' and nothing more."

True enough. Unfortunately, this movie inspires suicide. Or pouring boiling tar upon one's crotch. Don't get me wrong; I like Billy Zane, and I find his current treatment by Hollywood as evil-spirited--but deserved.

The truth is, I was ready for the crappiest of crappy zombie movies (and that's saying a lot). What I was not ready for, however, was Billy Zane being witty and/or ironic for 90 minutes.

In fact, the "director" (and I use the word loosely)--the "round" Greek teacher who gets an overly long 2.5 seconds in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"--claims that this isn't a zombie film...which I suppose means it isn't anything at all.

The fact that this film holds a 4.9 rating at the time of this posting is an injustice against all nature. Meteors will probably begin falling before I'm even done typing.

Skip this and rent the zombie films YOU'VE HEARD OF BEFORE.

What a coincidence; near the beginning of watching this movie, I accidentally spilled scalding hot coffee on my leg. Maybe it was an omen? I stopped watching at 40 minutes, the movie was so bad :P

dangit, whenever I see new horror movies on the shelves at the video store that ive never heard of I am always so tempted to check it out and they always end up being crap. Wicked little things and see no evil being the more recent ones. I skipped this one and just downloaded it but havent watched it yet.

I told myself I was just going to watch it before coming on here but couldnt resist. Just as I hit enter to visit this page I said to myself, "watch everyones going to be hating on this movie" yep, unfortunatly its the way it is 90% of the time. I hope it doesnt bore me to death and have to turn it off early.

Ok I tried watching it and I got about half way through then the next thing I knew I woke up 4 hours later and the movie was over lol.

I watched the whole thing. I gave it a 3. Nothing more to say.

I wholly agree with the original post. The worst thing about this movie was the lack of a single likeable character. Billy Zane's character was just annoying and a little boring, his girlfriend was extremely self-obssessed, the daughter was an absolute bitch, and the boyfriend had very little personality (other than trying to impress Billy Zane). The one scene that every review cites as being the best is the zombie discussion in the restaurant. I found that scene to be incredibly self-referential and I though it went on way too long. Overall, a very bad movie that should be avoided if possible. 2/10
