The Coed and the Zombie Stoner

The premise was good but the writing was bad. They tried to be funny but rarely succeeded. If I had known that this was made by the same people who made Sharknado, I wouldn't have watched it. It had some cool special effects and plenty of nudity, so it's not all bad. I have seen lots of worse zombie movies.

A snobby sorority girl demands that her pledges find fraternity boys as boyfriends in the next twenty four hours or they'll be booted from the sorority.

Smart girl "Chrissy" stumbled upon a mysterious guy, "Rico", one night when she falls asleep working in the science lab. She asks the main professor about him the next day and discovers that a lab accident turned Rico into a zombie. Rico is unlike the typical "zombie", as weed keeps him calm and he doesn't seem to attack anyone unprovoked.

When a fight at a party ends with a zombie outbreak, it's up to Chrissy, the professor, her brother and friends to find a way to stop and reverse the zombie outbreak.

The Coed and the Zombie Stoner is actually pretty good for an "Asylum" movie. It's basically a mix of a teen college comedy and a horror movie.

Anything zombie and I am there. And this particular movie wasn't really all that great. But by The Asylum's usual standards, then it was actually a step up the ladder.

"The Coed and the Zombie Stoner" seemed to borrow a little bit too much from "Warm Bodies", whether intentional or by random sheer luck, I have no idea. But it was also mixed in with some fairly average standard teenage college comedy. The end result, well it could have been better. And speaking of borrowing things, then the whole '28 days earlier' segment was actually one of the brighter moments in the movie, as it was a clear spoof on "28 Days Later".

The storyline was adequate, but just don't expect the movie to challenge your intellect in any possible way. This is the type of movie you just sit back and switch off your brain to while watching.

One of the flaws of the movie were the cast and their acting. It wasn't particularly great in any way, nor was it particularly convincing most of the time. And that made the movie suffer a terrible blow.

For zombie aficionados, then there is very little good stuff to find here. The zombies are mere people with basic make-up added, don't expect decayed shambling corpses or corpses with missing limbs, you will just be sorely disappointed.

There was a little bit of gore throughout the movie, and it was used in a good enough way for a comedy such as this. And while speaking of comedy, then there were awfully few times throughout the movie that I was laughing, or even just smiling for that matter.

While "The Coed and the Zombie Stoner" is hardly a noteworthy addition to the collection of any zombie fan, do take note that there are far worse and less entertaining zombie movies on the market that actually try to pass as proper zombie movies in the horror/action genre. "The Coed and the Zombie Stoner" is the type of movie that you watch one, and never make a return trip to.

And do take notice that there is a fair amount of unnecessary nudity throughout the movie. So if you are offended by such, consider this a friendly heads up warning.

"The Coed and the Zombie Stoner" scores a mere 4 out of 10 stars from me.

I have to say i find movies by The Asylum are kinda amusing and for the budget they use they do OK. They have made some decent zombie movies too, but this was unexpected, not the usual Asylum movie, it worked and seems to be one of their higher rated movies so far.

The Asylum tend to mostly make their own straight to DVD version of the latest potential blockbusters usually with a budget of less than $1,000,000 and normally get their money back within a few months with channels like the Sy-Fy channel buying their stuff and of course the DVD sales.

The movie was reasonably funny, none of their usual cheesy effects, cute characters...thought the guys are dorks, with some references to other zombie movies like the flash back called 28 days earlier and a cat called Romero. ;) The lead actress is good and cute, there is some mild gore, the zombies are not your usual zombies, they are a bit lame at times and there is plenty of young female skin...if you like that sort of thing ;) (Movie starts with 2 full frontal girls and plenty of boobs to follow and more).

Anyway the story is a sorority girl who seems a bit of a nerd, starts dating a zombie....jeez she could do much better, she's hot. ;) but thankfully a zombie apocalypse breaks out and its up to our nerdy girl to save the day when she discovers a cure.

Another movie added to my ever growing list of Zombie movies... 646 titles and counting lol.

BTW nothing wrong with running zombies, if they are recently infected and not too damage then why can't they run? :p

The Asylum is known for their inclusions of parodies to popular Hollywood films. While a majority are low budget and not great material, there are several that are made simply for light entertainment purposes to pass time and are enjoyable enough.

Released in 2014, this film is one of the Asylum's better teen/college type comedies. It appears they have gotten better production and better actors as the years passed. This film isn't overly funny and a lot of it is repetitive but its meant to be silly and not taken serious.

As other Asylum type teen/college audience films, this does provide its share of skin (starting from the opening- used for comedy). The film does somewhat drag on and feels a little too long but ultimately it is decent for its kind.
