Anonymous Zombie

Really not a lot to say about this one. On the positive side, the movie doesn't take itself too seriously and there are about two and half funny jokes in it. On the negative side there's everything else. Really bad acting, pretty lame story, really dumb characters, and some not so good effects. At least it's pretty short I guess. Not worth it.

Pretty plain and simple, the scary stuff isn't scary, the funny stuff isn't funny, and the stuff in between is simply poorly written. It seemed like a fun concept of screw ups battling zombies but wow they just threw away that potential and replaced it with dreck. Feel free to skip this one.

Well, with "Anonymous Zombie" being, well, a zombie movie, I would of course sit down and watch it, as I am interesting in anything even remotely zombiesque.

It should be said that t his 2018 movie is low budget, but don't be so quick to write it off just on that account. There are far worse low budget zombie movies out there, and it was clear that the people behind this movie definitely had their hearts and spirits with them in the project.

"Anonymous Zombie" didn't bring anything new to the zombie genre, so don't expect anything innovative to pass on the screen. But the movie makers did fare well enough with the material that they had to work with from writers Adam Bunce and Richard MacQueen.

Now, the special effects in the movie were low budget and low key, for sure. But again, I will say that they managed to pull it off well enough. The special effects served their purposes well enough, despite being cheap.

What didn't work so well in the movie was the sounds that the zombies were making. I am not a fan of zombie making growling or snarling sounds, which makes them sound like predatory large cats. It is just idiotic. And also the fact that the zombies were running and agile, now that is a no-go in the zombie lore for me, personally.

"Anonymous Zombie" was adequately entertaining for what it was. I stuck with it to the end and was pseudo-entertained along the way. My rating of the movie is a slightly less than mediocre four out of ten stars. Why? Well, because the movie made use of snarling, running zombies and also was rather generic in terms of script and storyline.

Arriving at a secluded rehab facility, a man hoping to get over his drug habit with the other inhabitants of the camp but when a zombie outbreak occurs nearby they realize that the ravenous creatures overrunning the facility are more dangerous and must deal with them to escape the area alive.

This was a depressingly disappointing horror/comedy. It's pretty easy to pinpoint the film's flaws, which is nearly every single time this tries to go for the comedic route in its storyline. Hardly any of the jokes work here, from the inept cheerful leader that tries to keep everyone in line but is clumsy, incapable of basic leadership skills and unprepared to do anything if it falls outside the rule-book, to the commando squad next-door that acts more like a militia group and the inability to even notice the zombie apocalypse around them. Granted, the fact that many of these are intended to be the point here with the goofy action, lighthearted music and intentional tone that attempts to make these scenes funny but it just comes off lazy and aggravating instead. This type of material doesn't come off as any kind of intelligence or even funny and just becomes frustrating it goes for these simplistic aspects to try to build laughs around moronic characters in idiotic situations. Now, that being the case, whenever this one treats the zombies with any kind of dignity or menace there are some enjoyable elements at work. The initial attacks, first on the compound guards in the adjoining facility which allows them to escape to the ambush on the couple by the lake and how they overtake the few members outside the meeting in a somewhat interesting series of confrontations around the campground give this some decent action and indie-styled gore. The race to escape the compound as the zombies start to rush them with their overwhelming numbers has a lot of action without being too goofy or silly, and the scenes in the maintenance shed have a far more serious tone than expected with some heart from the different characters involved. As these scenes also include some decent zombie makeup and gore, there are some positives on display but not all that much.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity and drug use.

Very awful cheesey. Very sexist and no respects. High schoolers should make the better film than this
