PLAGA ZOMBIE: ZONA MUTANTE is obviously going to be lumped in with other horror/comedy "classics" such as BRAINDEAD, and EVIL DEAD 2 - and for good reason. This film definitely has MANY elements that borrow liberally from those films (including a lot of how the action and gore scenes are shot) but this film definitely holds up as a fun, gory, silly zombie/comedy of it's own. My only problem is that I haven't yet seen the first installment, so I feel that I may be missing some of the "background"...either way - this is still a fun film and a credit to low-budget splatter films...
Computer-nerd Max, med-student Bill, and ex-wrestler John, are stuck in a town full of zombies that are a result of some weird alien experiment. The government isn't gonna go in to help these guys out - so they're on their own to fight their way through hordes of undead freaks and try to find their way out of town...
PZ:ZM is pretty much a blast all the way through. It never lags and is fast-paced from beginning to end. There are some really great FX for such a low-budget film, the acting is on-par to a production of this level, and there are several genuinely funny moments (the John West theme song-and-dance being particularly ridiculous...) that make this film a winner. Not too much to really complain about from this one. Not quite as brilliant as BRAINDEAD in my opinion - but definitely a contender and in good company with the other horror/comedy "masterpieces". Definitely worth a look to zombie/splatter/comedy fans. 8.5/10
