Walking with the Dead

What has happened to Spoofs and Pardodies?

Oh wait... I remember! The Scary Movie Franchise...

Yeah, it has to be said that this movie follows all the old tropes of trying to cash grab at a popular formula. We are long past the days of Mel Brooks thanks in part to a Politically Correct sensibility that seems to have issues with people taking the P**s out of every cultural stereotype and shoving it in our faces about how Hypocritical society really is...

This was the Genius of many Early Parody Movies... Mel;; Brooks, a Jewish Director/Writer/Movie Star, was more than willing to not only shove the ridiculous stereotypes of most people into our faces and say 'Seriously! This is how Stupid we all are!' but also send up his own beliefs because he KNEW that even he and his beliefs were not above a level of Hypocrisy.

Brooks, Zucker and Abrahams were very culturally aware... and never afraid to ruffle feathers for a laugh - because when we laughed at what we saw on screen, we were also laughing at ourselves...

Sadly, this art seems lost... This movie does NOT hit any of those notes and instead relies on 'Parody' of the most popular movies of its genre...

The Title is obviously a Parody of The Walking Dead, There are references to 28 Days Later, Star Wars, Zombieland (Parody of a Parody? Are you serious?), Warm Bodies and many more.

For what its worth, the film is NOT terrible... In fact, it has elements that are genuinely funny, though they are few and far between.

The effects are possibly one of the better elements of the movie - And sometimes quite graphic and gory... But this does not make it a great film.

Its biggest problem is they try too hard to cram as many pop culture references into the film to try and score cheap laughs that most of the time just do not work.

Given that so many films seem to be pandering to the so called 'Social Justice Warriors' and avoid making jokes that may even remotely come across as Racist or Religious in anyway - Its still baffles me how so many of these movies still rely on Stoner Humour to try and get laughs!

Overall, its cheap, tacky, but to be fair... Its short and mildly entertaining.

It could have been so much more though - Instead to falls into the vain of Disaster Movie, Epic Movie, Scary Movie 4, The Starving Games and such like... Only with a much lower budget.

Its not going to challenge your humour much - But you may get a few cheap laughs out of it.

If people are going to continue doing parodies - PLEASE FOR GODS SAKE STOP TRYING TO BE POLITICALLY CORRECT! NOTHING SHOULD BE SACRED TO HUMOUR!

If you haven't watched the zombie movies being spoofed, you won't get it. If you don't have a sense of humor, then don't bother watching a comedy. This is a lampooning mash-up mostly of "The Walking Dead", "Warm Bodies", and "Zombieland". If you loved them, then you will love this. There are sprinkles of other classics that makes me want to watch it again to see what else I can catch. "Dawn of the Dead", "Shaun of the Dead", "World War Z" are represented. I haven't seen every zombie movie so I couldn't tell ya everything. "You're name is Romero?" I laughed every time the wannabe "Rick" character mistakingly calls his kid Carl. At my house we routinely say F-N CARL!! Maybe it's just us. We think it's funny. There might not be Twitter or Twinkies, but there are zombie strippers. Don't let the uptight haters dissuade you from this one. It's not an Oscar winning movie, it's a silly fun movie.

No-budget spoof of recently popular zombie movies and TV shows. In particular it parodies Zombieland, Warm Bodies, and The Walking Dead. It's a terrible comedy that offers no laughs. It's not funny at all but it tries so hard. The Kool-Aid bit was the only time I chuckled. At one point they were so desperate for laughs they threw in one of those tired "everybody gets high" gags that we've seen in THOUSANDS of movies. Ugh. Just the worst.

The amateur production values and the poor editing don't do it any favors either. They appear to have gone to Rite-Aid for Halloween makeup to use on their zombies. The acting ranges from terrible to mediocre. I feel bad for these people. One reviewer suggested watching this with your friends. I'm not sure what that person's friends are into but mine would never speak to me again if I subjected them to this. As for all the reviews that are giving this glowing praise -- I'll assume these people are affiliated with the film in some way. Either they worked on it or are related to someone who did. I much prefer that answer to the uncomfortable idea that someone out there legitimately thought this was funny. That would be tragic. Avoid this cheap stinker.

OK, This was a mix of knock offs from many titles. That is just fine. What many of the users or critics will say is that it wasn't very good. I disagree. I think this movie was meant to be this way. It's a comedy, a joke. The script may not be that well written or the acting that wonderful, but I believe that the actors did a good job at portraying the current zombie flicks and shows in a humorous manner. It wasn't meant to win an Oscar, but it made me laugh. To truly understand this movie you would have to have watched all the shows and movies it's based off of. I say for such a low budget and for fitting in so many aspects, they did a great job. I would give it a 5 of 10 any day. If you don't like comedy, you would not agree and as a comedy it would not get that score. As a parody of films and shows that I have watched put into a comedy, I say well done. Good job guys, I would not call this a B movie. I would call it a cheap A.

Love - Love Dave Sheridan . . And even though he was great as his character ( of course) that is all I can say on the positive side . I didn't even finish watching it - so stupid. Stupid can be funny - however not this time. And I think I'm not the only movie lover that is thinking WHY can't some one bring us something ORIGINAL and truly laughable. Everyone wants to do re-makes - do overs- sequels - part 2 - chapter 3 c. So done with that . If Hollywood wants to capture the attention of serious movie fanatics and expect us to spend our hard earned money for a ticket and a $10 bucket of popcorn - then PLEASE at least give us something worthy of the popcorn . In a nutshell : don't waste your time or money on this one. ( You'll be angry)
