Attack of the Southern Fried Zombies

Unlike most zombie movies, be this one is almost decent. While the sfx are amateurish, the direction and sound are ok. The acting Run's the gamut from bad to nearly ok, and the story is decent. Turns out a chemical to kill kudzu is the culprit. I'd be ok if I never saw this again, but it didn't hurt my brain like so many others.

A very low budget zombie/comedy movie set in the south with a simple plot. Due to a invasive species of weed they've been dropping an experimental pesticide to stop it's growth and kill it basically contaminating everything related to it. We don't see any of this really, it's told to us with scrolling dialogue in the opening of the film and there's some interaction with the pilot whose been hired to spray it from his plane. Then through various means people die, become infected, and come back as zombies. Pretty standard contamination zombie plot. That's all fine and well, you expect it to be goofy.

The problem here is the bad special effects and the acting, it's just really bad, especially the acting. I don't expect Shakespeare or anything but it was just especially bad and the dialogue fell completely flat. Also it just flat out wasn't funny. So if the zombie effects suck, the acting sucks, and the comedic elements suck...you're not left with much of a movie.

If you're desperate for a zombie movie I guess this works. I don't recommend it.

Do not watch this if you are the last man on earth and there is no other movies!

The movie is funniest to those of us who are from the South.

It's dumb, it's fun, and the people who made it enjoyed themselves.

Being a sucker for all things zombie, I did of course pick up this movie when I happened to come across it. And while I hadn't heard about it prior to finding it, and having no expectations to it at all, I still did sit down to watch it.

Needless to say that it turned out that "Attack of the Southern Fried Zombies" was every bit as low budget and generic as I had anticipated.

While it was very clear that the movie was definitely made by someone with ambition and a passion for the zombie genre, this movie just suffered from having a too small budge,t and also at being an overly generic zombie movie.

The storyline brought nothing new or innovative to the zombie genre, and it was all something that had been seen before.

While the movie had fairly bad CGI effects, they more than made up for that with the amount of gore and mayhem they tossed into the movie. That was definitely a plus for the movie.

The acting in "Attack of the Southern Fried Zombies" was as to be expected for a movie of this genre and budget. So don't get your hopes up!

The zombie special effects and make-up was adequate, but again really was weighed down by the fact that it is a low budget movie.

This zombie movie was definitely not among the worst of zombie movies around, but there was room for much improvement. And it is hardly the type of movie that you will watch more than once.
