Well, not a great flick for the average horror film fan. But if you are obsessed with zombie flicks you will either love or hate this movie. They broke all zombie film rules that Romero took his entire career to create. But it was a likable, humorous b-film if you like the old school straight to TV horror comedies!! Romero would never give this film the time of day - but hey if I were to produce/direct a zombie film - I can't say I would have done a better job. Think Evil Dead but maybe slightly more gore and less entertaining! This film was very slow moving. I couldn't make it to the end I had to turn it off. It was illy in the sense that the zombies weren't your typical Romero zombies - I cant say much more without giving any spoilers. The cinematography and editing had a lot of mistakes, but for a low budget I guess not horrible. For film folks - they broke the 180 line like once or twice in every scene. The acting was not great, but on a low budget you cant afford great actors. The beginning of the film had continuity problems. I was confused after the first five minutes as to what was really going on and there weren't even any zombies yet. In a genre such as horror/zombie flicks you don't want to make the audience think to much in the beginning you want to attract them with an awesomely zomberrific first 10 minutes to keep them glued to the edge of their seats for the rest of the film. But hey if you are like me and you'll watch anything zombie then try it out but you may be better off watching the dawn of the dead original again for your millionth time.
