Zomblogalypse

You are either going to get the humour or not and in that way the film is a bit like marmite- you will love it or hate it. The acting is wooden but that is part of the humour. It is good fun and sends up the genre. Watch it for what it is: a fun take on mass produced zombie films and don't expect it to be scary or horrific just very tongue in cheek.

Zomblogalypse started as a web series. Now it has spawned a movie spin off.

After the Zombie apocalypse. Some years later, Hannah, Tony and Miles decide to make a movie about surviving the Zombie apocalypse.

However they turn out to be inept filmmakers. Health and safety is lax, having real Zombies in the film set mean that the production crew start to whittle down.

This is a labour of love for the filmmakers. An absurd Zombie comedy that is part Shaun of the Dead and part Monty Python. Eventually the silliness starts to win you over but this is no Spinal Tap.

It does look a lot like an ultra budget home movie shot on an Iphone. Making movies is boring and so is this at the beginning.

It gets splatter heavy and gore crazy later on, but it is a little too late by then.

Right, well I am not familiar with the web series that the 2022 movie "Zomblogalypse" is based upon, simply because I don't bother with web series at all. So I had no familiarity with this 2022 horror comedy from writers and directors Hannah Bungard, Tony Hipwell and Miles Watts as I sat down to watch it.

And I can't really say that I was harboring much of any expectations to the movie neither, given the rather poor and bad title it had. But still, it was a zombie movie that I hadn't already seen, so of course I opted to watch Hannah Bungard, Tony Hipwell and Miles Watts' movie.

But I have to say that this movie was bad. So horribly, horribly bad. It was low budget, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. But the movie was just not even funny, nor was the storyline even close to having anything worthwhile watching, nor was it entertaining. So it was quite a struggle to suffer through this horror comedy.

The acting performances were wooden and rigid, sluggish and amateurish. But hey, at least that was in touch with the overall feel of the movie. So that had to count for something, in a way, I suppose.

The zombies in the movie were rubbish. It felt like they weren't even bothering to try to make it look like zombies. This was definitely some of the worst zombie make-up and effects that I have stumbled upon in a zombie movie. And believe you me, I have seen a lot of zombie movies.

The movie was lacking comedy, it was lacking horror, it was lacking a story, it was lacking a proper production, it was lacking good special effects and zombie prosthetics, it was lacking basically just about everything.

Do yourself a favor and stay well clear of this one, especially if you want to be entertained by a proper zombie movie.

My rating of "Zomblogalypse" lands on a one out of ten stars.

When I checked for this movie it had a score of 8-ish so I said i'd give it a try. 20 minutes of it made me come back here and write my first review. Please, DO NOT waste your time. This is horrible. Please don't waste time on this, I beg you, don't do my same mistake. As for the movie, it's just bad, not even comically bad, it's just B. A. D.

This sounded good on paper, sadly it failed to deliver so completely that I laughed harder at the reviews giving it 10/10 than I did at the movie itself.

I just didn't find any of it funny, I was bored within the first few minutes and that boredom persisted through to the end. I don't remember coming close to laughing even once, though I admit I did miss a few moments while my mind wandered elsewhere in a desperate search for something more stimulating.

The writing was terrible, the attempted jokes fell flat, and the overall look and sound of the movie was on par with an average 'Asylum' film... without the special effects budget.

The movie did one thing very well though. I really felt as though I were watching a 90 minute VLOG. A really, really boring one. I was acutely aware of the precious seconds of my life trickling away.
