How sad is this?

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

My quick rating - 5,2/10. For some reason this is getting ripped. The movie itself is a group of shorts tied together by a newscast that is taking place after the zombie apocalypse has arrived. Tough to review without breaking each segment down, but I'll make that easy. Two of them stand out by far. The Jesus zombie hunter segment at the beginning and the very much inspired fun at the beach segment at the end. The Jesus segment, along with quite a few others is strictly based upon humor often mocking fans of traditional zombie flicks. That is not to say that the idea of Jesus giving life to the dead isn't a funny way of looking at the beginning of zombies in general. I am also sure that many Christians were up in arms about this segment. The second segment is the "Dead Alive" homage, the last segment fun at the beach (I am making these names up). This gorefest of 10-15 minutes takes every page out of the classic Dead Alive and displays it to the letter. Right down to the laugh from the skull that ends p through a zombies head that is a direct sample of the laugh from the mutant zombie infant from Dead Alive. Great stuff. The rest of the movie is mere filler with some inside jokes and jabs at how stupid the characters act in zombie flicks with an instructional video or two for some assistance. Overall a fun flick that deserves more credit then it is getting.

"Zombieworld", by um, many directors, is a movie that mixes the anthology format with zombie blood and guts, and for me it turned out to be a winning combination, or at least a lot better than I was expecting from the cheapie box art. I don't think it's quite as bad as people are saying at all, the only thing that's really annoyingly wrong with it is the small budget, which is most obvious when it comes to the wraparound. This for me at least was a very pleasant surprise, it was the most fun I've had with a tacky independent horror effort like this in ages. While again it was the wraparound news segment that brought it down the most for me, most of the stories were of a surprisingly decent quality. It wasn't so much that it was a good anthology, but it was a good *zombie* anthology! And that seemed to me like a novel and original take on my favourite sub-genre, one that had never even crossed my mind before, and it's kind of a no-brainer I guess! I hope they someday also do ones on werewolves and Frankensteins and so on. Of course it's uneven, all anthologies are, I mainly liked it because it had two of my favourite action comedy horror shorts that I'd seen around before "Fist of Jesus" and "Brutal Relax", two completely insane little splatterfests of positively cartoon carnage which are practically the exact same thing, just with different scenarios. There were also a couple that were new to me that I found very good, I enjoyed "Home" it was a little more dramatic than the other tales, with the farmer woman alone trying to get through to her infected husband and in the end deciding to become like him by giving him a kiss... It was a little macabre and grim and I liked it. I also dug "Certified", it was cleverly put together and surprising - hint hint: It's all about a wicked little liar! And "Dead Stop" was okay, I found it eerie and interesting in its blandness. And the rest of it was fine I suppose, a little sloppy but overall there was enough good material in it to make it fun and well worth the time and effort that was made putting it all together. I don't especially find zombies all that fun anymore, I thought for a while that what really killed the zombie was over-saturation by a 1001 bargain bin undead movies like, well..this! But I did like this one a lot, it was a ray of 'sunshine' in a barren landscape. I also enjoyed to other zombie-type flicks around the same time, "13 Eerie" and "Savaged", so it wasn't a fluke.. The ending was cute and just what you might've been expecting with the sweaty anchor man becoming more and more zombie between each segment before finally going feral and devouring the camera man and gathering his wits enough to bid adieu to the audience! So I'm afraid it stands at a solid 8-out-of-10 happy shambling corpses fresh out of their coffins for me - a winner! Two thumbs up and a whole foot!

This movie is basically an anthology of short films linked by a news report gimmick. Unfortunately most of the shorts are pretty unremarkable, but two of them are absolutely brilliant. I'd suggest just watching those two:Around the 7 minute mark is "Spanish Jesus."Around the 79 minute mark is "Psycho Guy on Holiday."These are just my names for them, I don't know if there are "official" names for those two shorts. The style of these two feels very similar, I suspect they were both made by the same people. I'll say no more about them, other than they are absolutely unbelievable. Do not miss!

First of all this is mainly a comedy sketch type movie, many segments that make up 'reports' from 'the last TV show you can watch during the apocalypse', hosted by Marvin 'badly fitting wig' Gloatt. I don't mind episodic type movies although it's not my favorite genre but this was very uneven. Some of it was slapstick, some poignant, some what you'd expect and some of it satirical. Is a a horrible mess? Well, yes and no. Some of the segments are well conceived, the acting is a bit spotty and the dialogue in some of them is less than flowing but some of them were worth the watch (the postman was my favorite and the public information segments about surviving in a zombie world).
