Takes itself way too seriously

How sad is this?

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Absolutely brilliant

While this is a relatively low budget movie, they do great work! it portrays a great plot, it was just simply outstanding. Who was miller? I am still wondering to myself 8 years later. This movie often comes up in conversation at dinner with my family. Every night we sit and wonder what happened to miller.. is he dead, is he alive, I NEED TO KNOW.The cinematics were great, especially with the scene where the two by four was used to conk the zombie in the head and guts splattered everywhere. Genius. Directing was on point as well. Loved the "Lets Party" scene, got me excited for the rest of the film and the action that was going to occur. Was not disappointed with what followed to say the least. The acting as well as the dialogue was advanced in a sense to it made you think on a deeper level, " what if you were in their shoes" The ending scene left me wanting more. This movie fulfilled my need and itch for a good scare and a good laugh.Overall, a great film to watch with the family, the kids, or the boys.Cant wait for the sequel!

The movie opens with a snuff scene that appears it could have come from Sin City. A man in handcuffs is set upon by a group of zombies, which we later find out were produced by the government, unless you read the comic book. Meanwhile Tom and Mark decide they want to go out for a drink, but like a trip to White Castle they get detoured.There is also Raven, "don't call me Jennifer" who is a punk-goth looking photographer. She joins the group. As fate would have it these 4 end up together. We find out the man in cuffs is some kind of government agent who was supposed to have been killed by the zombie attack. Mark has issues with his former roommate Kevin, who is sleeping with his gf, or ex-gf. Kevin looks like a young Val Kilmer.The movie has some real bad acting, like the bouncer at the bar who has "SECURITY" on his t-shirt. Fortunately the worse actors get eaten early. There seems to be a serious lack of guns for rural Michigan. There is one scene with some comical Dr. Evil diabolical laughter. The zombies are of the slow moving variety with a lousy make-up job.The DVD comes with a PREQUEL comic book. It would help if you read the comic book first. F-bomb, no sex, no nudity (unless you count the comic book which has topless drawings).

Another ultra low budget zombie flick. How deceptive those DVD covers look huh? I will never trust DVD covers again! Lol Anyways about this flick, I did not care for it at all. Some scenes I could not stand. Like the Goth chick Raven(who by the way does nothing really but taking so-call pictures of the zombies!? WTF!?) trying to start up the chainsaw and can never really get it started and when she does , we get a cheap "Money Shot" of a scene! (You can even tell the chainsaw is not running but you can still hear the sound of it!) lol And by then the so-called hero,Miller, had dispatched most of the zombie anyways. And about this hero, who I could barely understand cause he's like trying to sound like the "poor man's" version of Kurt Russell's Snake Plisskin and Christian Bale's Batman at the same time! He even tries cutting his hair and putting a bandana a la Rambo! lol Not believable or funny for one minute.(Weird trivia: There is an extended scene on DVD where the hero Miller and Goth chick are having a conversation and he does not have that weird accent or that weird voice at all and actually sounds normal!? What the hell?!) lolAnother annoying and painful to watch scene was with the actor( if he can be called that) playing the bouncer/security guy in the bar. Thank goodness they killed him quick cause he could not act for nothing! I mean I give everybody a 'A' for effort but they better have other jobs because as actors/writers/directors, they are not gonna make it. The only decent performance I got somewhat because he has a more natural way of acting, was by the actor playing "Mark" (Michael Empson). With time and way better roles to showcase himself, this guy could have a chance later on.

Sometimes it's nice to watch a movie that makes you think. Sometimes, a movie that's emotionally affecting is what you're after. Sometimes, you just want to amuse yourself. If the latter is what you want, then I'd most definitely recommend Zombie Apocalypse.Now, let's get one thing straight right off the bat; this movie doesn't attempt to break new ground. It's not about introducing a film-making revolution, nor does it attempt to take itself too seriously. It's the kind of movie one might watch while drunk (or otherwise inebriated) with friends. All the character archetypes are here: The Badass, The Goth Chick, The Hapless Nerd, The Comedic Relief, The Shadowy Government/Corporation figure... They're all here, and the roles are played surprisingly well, this film being made on the budget it was. Some have complained that this movie is horrible. I suspect these people were looking for something more than Ryan Thompson was offering.Long story short; if you want massive budgets, OTT special effects and a-list actors, look elsewhere. If you want a movie that is as funny as it is plain cool, then you may just enjoy this.
