Bong of the Dead

OK, this is not zombie-land which was great, but I would love to see anyone try and make a movie with 5 grand, there was some fantastic sfx especially at the beginning, and any "TRUE" Zombie fan will look at this as what it is, I am 50 years old and absolutely loved it, and I can guarantee that when George Romero see's this he will say the same, it is not the greatest movie out there but nether was Evil Dead ( which I own about 15 different copies) and people look at this for the great job that was done with the money that was spent. This is my first review. So those that I offend by this, TOO BAD!!! anyone that has a sense for the tradition of a director/producer busting his but, trying to give a piece of his horror and comedy, I stand up and applaud him, give me 24 million and I or anybody can buy (make) a good movie. now just set back slap that DVD in and enjoy...Thomas Newman you did a great job, and no I was not paid or even know this man but I do respect him and his movie.

It looked and sounded bad. Painfully unimaginative. The only bit I enjoyed was the montage of them getting drunk after getting stoned. This gives stoner films a bad name. They could have done something great with it by taking it way over-the-top but they didn't, they made it dull.

This is a zombie comedy movie but it was gore enough with blood splattered frequently, and not so bad special effects. The problem was in some scenes had long dialogues, and it make the film becoming lack of interest. But thumbs up for the movie idea, and zombie movie fans gotta see this film.

This movie has a happy slapstick feel to it, Cheech and Chong meet the undead. It was funny, it was heartwarming (sometimes a little too much)-- and it had an awesome ending that included perhaps one of the most awesome killing machines in recent zombie-killing history.

The two stoner leads (Edwin and Tommy) were perfect boneheads-- but boneheads with a mission. There is also one of the hottest chicks since Tomb Raider (wait 'til she gets all gussied up in leathers)... and it is pure and simple entertainment.

I understand the film was produced for $5000, and that in itself is reason enough to watch it-- but don't watch it for that! Watch it because its funny and clever and the zombie effects are first rate (by veteran Mike Fields). The final climactic scene is awesome... oh, and watch past the trailers for a taste of things to come.

Wow, this was bad on a scale that can't even be measured.

"Bong of the Dead" is without a doubt amongst the top 10 of worst movies I have had to suffer through - or at least partially through, as I gave up on this nonsense after 20 minutes into the movie, where it was all teenage shenanigans and just downright waste of time happening on the screen. And a movie have to be extraordinarily bad before I actually turn it off.

I must admit that a movie about two potheads sitting around growing weed plants using mashed up zombies didn't really appeal to me in the least. Nor did the horrible and silly acting appeal to me in any way.

The movie started out alright, campy but with some potential for a zombie spoof, but then enter the two potheads, and the movie just went from bad to worse in record time.

I am sure that there is an audience out there for this particular movie. I just wasn't part of that particular audience, that's fore sure. Zombies and weed is just a combo that doesn't go hand in hand.

Hats off to director Thomas Newman for making this movie though and seeing it through. He did create something that is somewhat of an acquired taste. But as a zombie aficionado, and not much fan of stoner movies, then "Bong of the Dead" didn't really get me high.
