Zombiegeddon

Zombiegeddon starts with German director Uwe Boll telling the audience that this movie is "crap" "unwatchable" and its "not worth a dollar". Funny introduction for a movie? No, just the truth. Zombiegeddon is pure chloroform. If you suffer from insomnia this will put you to sleep in minutes. All those b-movie "stars" cameos are just pathetic and the blood and gore here is bottom of the barrel. I love gore movies, zombie movies and no budget movies. I even love bad gore fx, but funny bad effects. There is a scene were a priest talks for straight ten minutes, thats a good method to sleep the audience. Not worth, Zombiegeddon is unwatchable. Watch Redneck Zombies if you want a no budget zombie movie distributed by Troma, not this one.

Arriving at a local radio station, a radio show host decides to recount a story about how a zombie apocalypse was averted when the creatures appeared from the depths of Hell to overthrow the planet and how they relied on a pair of corrupt cops and several other survivors to stop them.

This was a wholly cheesy low-budget genre effort. One of the finer features of this one is the way the endless array of seemingly unrelated skits slowly form a coherent storyline about the zombies arriving and taking over. As the interactions of the corrupt officers going through the neighborhood, the zombies appearing at the school, and the various neighbors who seem to interact either with more zombies or each other before it becomes obvious these seemingly random skits form a story about the creatures coming to take over the world. These confrontations provide a generally fun series of cheesy, low-budget-fueled schlocky zombie encounters featuring flimsy gore and outright silly concepts that substitute common sense and logic for energy and enthusiasm that builds throughout here into an original take on the zombie curse affecting everyone which is all decent enough to give this some enjoyable elements. All that aside, there are some issues with this one. The biggest one is the seemingly obvious low budget where just about everything from the production value, the guerilla shooting locations, and the effects on display all scream cheap, low-budget cheese. It all borders on being intolerable due to the type of presentation it provides, especially for those who don't enjoy this kind of genre fare. As well, there's also the big issue with the film in that the randomized nature of the structure prevents the film from making sense, as the general approach only comes about later on since the internal logic of so many scenes is maddeningly frustrating. Characters become zombies seemingly for no reason, the way they behave is immensely inconsistent, and everything has the kind of improv type of performance so it all comes off even cheaper and cheesier than anything else. It all comes together to lower this one overall.

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

Okay, I feel I must praise those who have given this film the bad rap it deserves! For starters, I remember getting invited to a special screening for, lets say, six bucks or so. I was expecting to see a wretched pile of bull, but I got something worse than that! I was so sure that having a few union actors such as Savini would give a little depth, or something enjoyable. NOPE! This film was the most pathetic concoction ever put onto film. Loust script, horrid acting, lame effects, and a whole lot of unreal violence that was just stupid to begin with. John Waters' "Pink Flamingos" looks like an early Spielberg classic in comparison, and thats a bad thing. I never had a problem with the Waters exercise in 'poor taste', because there was a message about it, this film, was just stupid. I cannot be more specific than that. Just stupid.

Now, it began out with an extremely unbelievable sex scene with Tom Savini and Brinke Stevens. Stevens then retreats to her radio office to conduct a question and answering about zombies. We then see the worst acting of a man and his son hunting zombies, and a tiger is involved...er something. Anyway, a community is under attack with a bunch of idiots running around getting killed one by one. The lead cops are sick and sleazy, and achieve sexual kicks by forcing young males to make love. It is just stupid I tell you! They don't give a crap about civilians. I can understand a filmmakers need to be self-expressive, but there are limits to which art become ridiculous and repetitive. The rest of the story has a lot of bad acting, cheap vomit effects, dreadful dialog, and the STUPIDEST climax to be seen by anyone, be it whoever. My finale plea, is that the filmmakers of this movie need to be banned from writing, directing, or any other type of process in the industry. I thought I was going to see some film that would at least be on its way to a real film-festival...alas, this film was NOTHING! My advice would be to make sure NO ONE ever see's this film again. Then the world would be a better place.

I just have to ask...why do these films get made? They're just so dumb, and offer nothing. If someone actually likes them, then they need help!

I didn't think I'd like this movie at all. There's not many things that I do like. But it's awesome. Lloyd Kaufman's appearance not only makes this film worth while, but it makes life itself worth while. I mean, if you don't like this movie- you're a brown-nosed, wannabe Roger Ebert. It's fast, it's funny and it certainly doesn't lack in the violence satisfaction department like you would expect from "just another straight-to-video horror film." See this movie or die. It premiered here in Tulsa, Oklahoma (yeah, I think that's weird, too.) But, DO NOT PAY FOR DUMB MOVIES LIKE CHARLIE'S ANGELS 2 and TERMINATOR 3. BUY THIS MOVIE NO MATTER WHAT IT COSTS. I saw it once and I'm already hoping to see it againt.

Another interesting thing... the actors in this movie- like Savini, Stevens, Rose, and Estevez... You may laugh and think they're crap actors, but in this movie, they actually get a chance to show off what they're really made of. The guy who directed this loves these kind of movies and didn't make this film only to become a Hollywood sellout in the future. FUN FUN FUN!!!!

Not as bad as "Bone Sickness"

well ...yeah it is.

This movie is bad.

Very bad!!!

The director did'nt even want his name on it but put it on it since the crew asked him to. That should be all you need to know.

I love horror ...just so you know. I love a lot of really bad horror, but this is not the good kind of bad in any way. Don't spend any money on this flick. By "any money" I mean "ANY" ! A penny would be too much. You have been warned!
