Load of rubbish!!
i must have seen a different film!!
Absolutely Brilliant!
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Heading out into the woods to plan their wedding uninterrupted, a group of friends come to realize the strange behavior of the groom is due to a zombie infection and must try to help him cope with the oncoming changes while keeping the wedding intact and him safe from hunting scientists.This here turned out to be quite an entertaining and enjoyable zombie comedy with so many fun and funny moments. The fact that the infection is so early in the film makes the fact that he's resisting for so long the central point in generating the comedy as he can't act as a typical human due to the presence of the infection, yet that infection is causing him to produce more zombified activity that a normal human wouldn't consider, and thus generates some outstanding comedy. From the interaction with the rabbit, the group forced to buy animal brains to get him to eat at a meat-processing plant and the absolutely gut-busting antics of the group being okay with his zombified behavior as it allows them to basically treat him like a human crash test dummy for their own amusement, and it's just so hilarious that the premise is allowing this kind of activity to occur by itself is enough to make the movie worthwhile. While the early parts of him trying to hold it in for his wife's sake and the general disgust amongst the friends towards her for treating him like that are funny in their own right, it's really at the end where it gets really funny. The confrontation with the hunters packs the film's only real gory moments in some fantastic head-shots and blood-splatter, the fact that it's not in that mode at all might be quite a disappointment for some looking for a funny-yet-over-the-top zombie comedy, the fact that it's got the courage to only feature a few of them while concentrating only on the comedy of the premise rather than delve into the conventions of the genre makes for a good time all around.Rated R: Extreme Graphic Language, Violence, Brief comedic Nudity and drug use.
So many positive things are said about this zombie comedy that I was looking forward to it and seen the mosquito flying around as a zombie I thought I was in for a hell of a ride. It was a while since I had seen a good horror comedy. Last one was Tucker And Dale vs Evil (2010).After seeing it I just can say that I found it total crap. I didn't laugh, I even never had a smile on my face. Even as it started off rather well with Stephen McHattie (Max) doing his shootings toward the zombies. But after that part we only see the POV of the mosquito biting a human who will become a zombie. Downhill from there. No funny situations, no zombie to spot, sure, he's changing but not into a zombie, just in someone wanting brains to eat. The situations coming out of that are jokes that teenagers will love, the bunny for example. Some do refer to old eighties comedies like the national lampoon flicks and stuff like that but I guess it must be typical American humour because I didn't like it at all. I'm into British jokes and stuff and sometimes an American comedy do work but this here was a waist of time. Too much of talking and nothing really happening. Even when the girls are dressing up and looking sexy to catch a guy to capture for his brains didn't work and wasn't funny. Guess I had to read the title closer, it was stated a little bit zombie and that was true. Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 1/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5
Meek young man Steve (a solid and amiable performance by Kristopher Turner) gets infected by a virus that causes him to slowly transform into a zombie. Steve not only has to contend with his domineering fiancé Tina (sharply played to bitchy perfection by Crystal Lowe), but also has to elude nutty and obsessive zombie hunter Max (a marvelously loopy turn by the always dependable Stephen McHattie). Director Casey Walker, working from a witty and kooky script by Christopher Bond and Trevor Martin, relates the enjoyably quirky story at a snappy pace, sustains a suitably off-the-wall tone throughout, ably milks the amusing sense of inspired offbeat humor for maximum belly laughs, delivers several hysterical gross-out gags (Steve eats a cute bunny rabbit at one point!), and presents a winning array of engagingly eccentric characters. Moreover, it's acted with tremendous zest by an enthusiastic cast: Shawn Roberts as Steve's easygoing buddy Craig, Kristen Hager as Steve's sassy'n'sarcastic sister Sarah, Emilie Ulerup as Max's perky partner Penelope, and George Buza as jolly butcher Captain Cletus. In addition, this film possesses a certain sweetly flaky charm that's impossible to either dislike or resist. Kevin C.W. Wong's glossy cinematography provides a pleasing polished look. A total riot.
*Brace yourself, I don't usually write reviews!Just saw the 'world-premiere' here in Victoria BC. It was definitely a good twist on the "zombie- film"! Nice to see something fresh for a change --The humour was well-timed, and the jokes were pretty witty. The plot and story seemed well thought out, and it kept you entertained and curious right until the end!The acting was a little over the top throughout the film, but it clearly was the tone they were looking for. I thought the music was a little over done too, though, and perhaps the overall cheesy tone could have been winded back a bit. But in all it was a very enjoyable film. There are some hilarious scenes that'll stay in my head forever!
