I will say right outta the box that I really like this movie. It is smart, funny, fresh and made on the cheap. This movie shows that good things can come cheap and easy...in my town that is also true... but not about movies. I wanna give great kudos to director/writer Mathew Kohnen who took an often tired concept like zombie movies and looked at it from a new perspective. Well, now that I have handed out the handies lets get to what its all about.
This film is based on the perspective of the zombie and what life... err.. unlife is like through their eyes. It revolves around a group of friends that eat tainted ice cream and become zombies...but they don't know it. To them they have super powers and everything around them is moving super slow..oh and they are invincible. They do seem to have acquired a taste for brains but that doesn't mean anything right?? I mean they still fall in love want to have fun...like to bowl....you know your average zombie activity.
This is all great except those around them see them as slow moving shambling messes. The military (which happens to be where the chemical came from) doesn't want them around, well... because its their fault. They track them down and the zombie...heroes(?) yeah... heroes... have to escape. They just want to find a home of their own to leave in relative zombie peace.
I would recommend that any zombie aficionado watch this film if not only to see a fresh spin on a tired genre. I also recommend this to a non horror fan who just wants to see a good fun film that gets it right.
