Is this any good as a zombie movie?

Or is it basically just a gay film with a zombie theme? I like gay people just fine, but I'm a zombie buff, not a gay film buff, and if it's just a gay-themed film with zombies thrown in for kicks (and a 4.8/10 to boot, ouch) then I'll probably pass.

Thanks for the reply, I ended up giving it a shot anyway and came to the same conclusion. It did have some interesting artsy bits, but yeah, its definitely a gay film with a zombie theme.

Funny, I just watched this... my answer was going to be "There's not much of a FILM here, gay OR Zombie. Save yourself the waste of two hours".

Eh, At least I tried to save you. ;)

I dunno, for any zombie buff, it'd be worth watching just so you can say "I've seen a gay zombie movie." And of course it gets points for originality. Is it a "good" movie? Well, no, but a good zombie movie? Well, maybe. At least better than many others.

not a good zombie movie. It's a gay movie that tries to lure people in with the promise of zombies and ultimately goes nowhere.

wish I'd have known that before I tried to watch it...
