Zombie Town

I got interested in watching it because Chevy Chase and Dan Akroyd were starring in it. The first disappointment though was they both only have tiny supporting roles. The rest of the movie is full of B-movie actors, with little actor's chemistry or charisma. Bummer.

The realy let down though is that it fails to become funny, AT ALL. A few smirks at the start, that was all. This zombie genre has been chewed to pieces and it is quite difficult to make a really original zombie flick.

Not any good then? This shouldnt be featured in cinemas, this is sub par tv movie quality.

Nice try, but huge fail. To be avoided...

I've always a been a big fan of R. L Stines books from Goosebumps to Fear Street and have mostly loved most adaptions of those for all their faults and all, but this one has too many problems to count.

For one thing it's very boring. With an occasional moment of something exciting happening, the movie to often resorts to characters standing around talking and explaining. For a kids movie based on a book series with such a legacy as Goosebumps, you think they would try a little harder to entertain there target audience, but it's barely putting any effort in.

It's not really funny either. An occasional moment here and there gets a laugh, but you think with talent like Dan Aykroyd, you would get something that's at least more memorable, but half the time I forget what was even going on

I say be careful listening to the reviews giving this 9 and 10 stars. It's most likely people who worked on the movie trying to make sure it does well so that it looks good on their resume.

If you like your kids, I'd suggest just introducing them to the goosebumps tv series. Watching this just might turn them into brain dead zombies.

The acting is bad. The casting is horrible. Casting 30-year-olds trying to look and act like they are in their teens. The writing is bad. This movie is...just bad. I don't understand how movies like this get approved and gets funded. Have we just given up? Is this what movies are like now? Big budget movies have lost its touch a long time ago. And the only thing we had left was some good low budget independent films that were written well with actors, who actually fit in their roles and can act and look accordingly. 2023 and I have not seen any decent movies and it's sad. It shouldn't be that difficult if this is what you do for a living.

Many reviewers state one has to be in the 'demographic' or target range to 'get' this flick... huey! I'm a man of a certain age and love a great kids/young adult flick! I've watched many series 'targeted' for young adults and wholeheartedly loved the watch.. I watched it 2x, just in case my mood had any effect on my perspective.. Nope, it was still a stinker.. If it were 'intended' for younger viewers, the 2 main teen characters apparently weren't told or even given direction.. their performances were phoned in and just bland. I'd also have to argue and/or point out that Disney and Pixar flicks are 'intended' for young audiences, yet appeal to a much larger audience. So that defense of this flick is imo indefensible. I'd argue the production just didn't know what they wanted the film to be. It wasn't straight enough to be ironically funny, it wasn't wonkie enough to be campy, it didn't even have the bones to be carried by Akroyd and Chase. There will be some that look at it differently or see something the rest of us don't, so if you're unsure what lot you fall into You'll know within a few minutes whether it's for you or not..

Not horrible, not good, just kind of an okay movie, which has two former great comedians in the movie. Chevy Chase and Dan Akroyd used to be comedy legends and make great films, this was more of a paycheck movie for them.

The other actors are okay, once again not horrible, not good, there is a story there but it has no pacing, no great set designs, nothing original.

So why watch this movie, if you like zombie movies, then there are a lot worse movies you can watch. This is not a movie you will be thinking about for the next week, it is a "I have two hours to waste and I love zombie movies" type of movie.
