Last of the Living

If Sean of the Dead and Flight of the Concords had a love child...I think it just might be this movie.

For the most part this is a pretty fun and amusing zombie flick to watch, with a somewhat original approach to it. If you're looking for a gore fest, this movie is definitely not it...although it does have some pretty cool zombie deaths mixed in.

A quick summary of the plot: The movie starts off 6 months after the "apocolypse" and most the world is overrun with zombies. The film quickly switches to 3 guys kicking back in a mansion. As far as they know they're the only survivors around and have been spending their time traveling from mansion to mansion, drinking beer and playing video games. It actually seems like a lot of fun. While out perusing the town for a new pad they run across an attractive young lady who has a solution to the zombie issue. That's where the movie takes on it's main plot, so I won't spoil anymore.

Really what saves this movie is the camera work. It's really well done. The dialog is also one of the main focus points in this film, seeing as there is definitely a lot more talking than fighting...but if you get the humor then you'll find yourself enjoying it just as much as the violence. The other review said this movie was made for under 1 million...and I think it was pretty well spent. Overall I'd suggest giving this film a watch.

I knew this not going be any where near as good or as funny as Shaun of the dead funny but I did expected to be be funny then Dance of the Dead, i Found that even funner.

This was another that been on my watch list for long time, I have tired watch before, As this very low budget movie, I get putting off.

A contagious virus is turning everyone into zombies, and the only hope for survival lies in the hands of three couch potatoes.

The movie starts just like 28 days later, when Man in mid 20's is walking around empty street and News flash of it at the start of what going on.

As Its went to meant to Horror comedy but I didn't find any of infected that scary at all, some were very stranger then others, some dodgy make up effect and it wasn't really that gory at all.

Felt same scenes were getting repeated over and over again and those scenes end up dragging at well, I do mean killing infected scenes. well.

I don't think I laughed more then once, The thing that I laugh was not really that funny but I didn't find any of other things funny at all.

The acting was really tame time from most of the cast, at the ending what was with shouting, that way, way over the top.

Ending was predictable and kind boring for zombie to end that way!

3 out of 10

Hoping 3rd the movie of the day is not a bad one

As long as you aren't expecting a blockbuster, you should enjoy this movie. The movie doesn't take itself too seriously. It's a zombie movie, with characters who are "the boys" in every way. If you like zombie movies, then you'll probably only read the comments to make sure that the movie isn't terrible - which it isn't.

It has fun, funny, serious, and even poignant moments. There is some character development as well. One criticism would be that the movie sometimes makes killing zombies looks easy and fun, and in other situations difficult.

The movie has good atmosphere, although not as well developed as Shaun of the Dead or 28 Days Later. The plot is not terribly strong or original though.

I bought this movie under the assumption that it might be a zombie comedy that had something to offer. And especially since there has been a couple of very noteworthy zombie movies rearing its decaying head from Australia, New Zealand and that general area.

However, I managed to get only 30 minutes into "Last of the Living" before I had to give up entirely and find something else to watch. This movie failed to captivate me and failed to grasp my interest in the most horrible way. The movie was just so uninspiring and anything but interesting.

The 30 minutes that I watched offered no comedy, very little action in terms of zombies and the stuff usually Associated with the zombie genre. Though the characters did seem to have been thoroughly thought through and given stories. But it just wasn't enough to keep me interested.

And from what I saw of zombies in the 30 minutes, then the zombies were nothing more than low-budget zombies. You know, the type where the faces are powdered a grayish color and blackened around the eyes. I saw no special effects or anything that would usually be much welcomed in the zombie genre in terms of make-up and special effects.

If you are looking for a zombie comedy, then your money, time and effort are better spent on movies such as "Shaun of the Dead" or "Dead Alive", to mention but two of the more established movies in the zombie genre.

I have no plans to make a return trip to "Last of the Living" in order to finish watching it. No, it just didn't appeal to me in any way. So this movie will now quietly fade into oblivion on the shelves of the movie collection.

For a low budget movie I thought this was pretty good. The characters are entertaining and work well together and the acting is pretty good. The story moves at a fair pace and I liked the music too.

On the downside there's no real explanation as to why the three of them have survived but hardly anyone else has. If a guy with a golf club can take on half a dozen zombies it seems unlikely the situation could have spiralled so far out of control that there's hardly anyone left alive. They could have written around this pretty easily, it's a shame they didn't.

I'm guessing most of the film of the city was shot in the early hours when there was nobody around but the clean streets look unconvincing for a zombie apocalypse film. If this was a 60 million dollar movie it would be more of a problem but it didn't spoil it for me, though I thought the riot footage at the start was a bit poor and clearly depicted a riot rather than zombies attacking people.

I'm not a big fan of horror comedy but I do like zombie movies and I enjoyed this one, give it a try - it's worth a watch. The berserker move made me laugh every time.
