Zombie Women of Satan

"Zombie Women of Satan" is a funny movie, though it is no "Shaun of the Dead".

Now, "Zombie Women of Satan" might not be suitable for everyone, because there is a lot of nudity in the movie, there is a lot of foul, harsh language being used, and there is a scene of necrophilia! That being said, viewer discretion is advised here!

The story in the movie is fairly simple, a group of carnival burlesque performers travel to a remote cabin for an interview for an Internet site. However, unknown to them there is a cult of sort going on here, and a scientist is conducting experimental research on the women. This results in a chemical accident that cause an outbreak of women becoming zombies.

"Zombie Women of Satan" have a good array of odd characters, and they are each so unique and outrageous that they just work out well. There is something bizarre to see a perverted clown running around killing zombies. And the dialogue between the odd characters was funny as well, despite the amount of obscenities and foul language being used.

Personally, I found the excessive showcase of nudity to be a bit too much. It was too tacky, and the movie would have been much better without every single scene having breasts in them.

Having seen this movie now, I can cross it off the zombie movie list. Despite it having hilarious characters and off-beat dialogue, the movie was just too much weighed down by the nudity everywhere, and for that I will not be making a second return to watch this movie again; so it will be put on the DVD shelf to collect dust.

If you like this genre of zombie movies, you are perhaps better off watching "Doghouse".

If you can laugh about "Great Tit(le)" and think that's hilarious, then you might be able to really enjoy this movie. Although I think that my joke is slightly better than any punch-line in the movie. Still they are trying and almost look cute, while doing silly things. You can't take this seriously (and why would you), but still too many jokes are off (taking a dump might be funny to some, but when it goes on for too long, it's unbearable).

Also the characters are really awful in a bad sense. None deserve any kind of attention or have any good lines (although even if they have the occasional good line, the delivery is so painfully off, that you wish it would have been a silent movie). Come to think of it .. as a silent movie this might actually work ... if you take away the color too, then it might even be awesome ... seriously though, you have to be in a very special kind of mood to enjoy this (although as I can see here there are quite a few that actually did).

it's okay saying we should support low budget films but the fact is most of them don't deserve our support. They are just garbage churned out with the minimum of effort, investment and thought to snare a fast buck.Sadly this seems doubly true if they're British.

Zombie Women of Satan fails in every category.It's not funny, scary, sexy or entertaining.

Its weird that a horror film or a romance or pretty much any genre can be incompetently made but laughable with it whereas an attempted comedy that fails is never funny just embarrassing.

Even the so-called sexy women look as though they skipped weightwatchers to go to McDonald's. Avoid.

Amateurish rubbish! Tries to be funny with horrendous gags and childish, immature jokes, but this really is just embarrassing! Seriously hideous watching! I read a lot of hype leading up to this film and how the filmmakers hoped this would eventually be a cult classic, but I reckon my kids could make better with a camcorder! Like the worst comic strip ever featured in the worst Viz ripoff ever recreated on film! With some of the worst acting, special effects and music going! Also, the girls in the film, even without the zombie makeup, look like they've been dragged out of a rehab clinic! Terrible! TERRIBLE!!! Do yourself a HUGE favour and miss this turkey!

When it comes to reviewing and voting on small budget movies, I tend to be more generous with my views than if I was dealing with a big budget movie. After all, a big studio production has the cash to make sure they get everything right but a small production rarely has that privilege. For example, a lot of the violence in this movie happens just out of shot. Weapon impacts are just out of frame and then we see the aftermath. This I don't have a problem with as it's hard to do lots of fake impacts realistically and safely. So putting it just out of view makes sense. But despite all the limitations of the budget it is clear that there is still some other problems with this film. The biggest of which is the comedy. The script does contain some decent jokes and one liners but due to some really bad editing and directing - and in one or two cases, some bad performances - most of the humour is completely butchered. If the joke isn't entirely delivered in one take then the editing room is where the timing can be refined until the humour works. But that clearly hasn't been the case in the making of this film. Instead the editing has tried it's best to squeeze every moment of hilarity out of each even vaguely amusing moment and such an attempt kills the humour dead. Several times while watching this film I could see that a joke would have looked great in the script but due to the performances and post production work, the joke just doesn't work on film. But to the fair to the editor and directors, some of the jokes in this film are also ruined by bad performances. There is at least one major cast member who gives a performance worthy of a school nativity play and at least one other who comes close. Which is a shame because some of the other actors and actresses are really good. They've just been let down by some of their cast mates and poor post production work.

If you're looking for a funny comedy, don't see this film. If you're looking for violence, don't see this film. If you're looking for gore or are interested in how *not* to edit humour or like films where afterwards you can say "damn, if they'd had a bigger budget...", then see this film.
