Zombies in Love

At least for what it is. It's no "Shaun of the Dead," of course, but given that "Shaun of the Dead" is the de facto "Godfather" of zom-com (and horror comedy in general, for that matter), it's hardly fair to compare this movie to it.

The movie lives and dies by its lead actress, and more so than most -- she's clearly the standout performance (which is a shame when a movie has the great Ray Wise) and she handles the comedy, physical and verbal, very well. Not to mention being able to pull off cute even with the trite "beautiful girl playing plain by having messy hair and unflattering clothes" dynamic. (I almost said "beautiful young girl" but a look at her IMDb page reveals that she was *40* when this movie came out. Unless there's an error on IMDb or this movie was shelved for a very long time before release, she's aged really, really well. I mean, good Lord, I would have guessed mid-to-late 20s, tops.)

The movie's main flaw is that it doesn't seem to know whether it wants to be straight-up comedy or camp, something independent/low budget comedies occasionally suffer from. It vacillates between the two, which can cause abrupt changes in comedic tone. Trying for both just hurts the flow and coherency of the movie. Overall, though, while it wasn't the greatest movie in the world and I did find the comedy/camp comedy transitions jarring, I quite enjoyed it, and it was solidly written and acted (primarily by the lead actress, as noted above), so I have no complaints about the time spent watching.

It's a fun little movie. It doesnt take itself too seriously. The main actress is a delight. The story is refreshing and contrary to appearances, is not 'just another zombie movie'.

The movie has some good laughs and even the romantic element is palatable. The main guy actor, well, he's a little low key but handles the role.

A few surprises, a few scares, some original story telling and a fun ending.

This is a good date movie and it is a good compromise in that both women and men will get a kick out of it.

Deb is a smart, socially awkward girl who is drinking with her friend one night at the bar. The next morning she wakes up in a guy's place after a one night stand. While she is leaving a zombie outbreak is taking place all around. She takes her car, grabs the one night stand and begins her zombie survival adventure.

This was actually pretty good. It's a smart zomedy with good writing and several clichés avoided. Not really violent at all with maybe a bite or two and people get shot. Nobody is taking bats to their heads and the zombies aren't playing with intestines. Ray Wise does a good job as the evil company owner.

I was surprised with this one for sure. You can even watch this one with the significant other as there is a love story as well.

I enjoy searching through the 'customers also liked' section of streaming services. It's a great way to find hidden or underappreciated gems. I was pleasantly surprised to find N.o.t. L. D. During a late-night search. I've now seen it a bunch of times.

Deb, the titular character (played by the lovely and talented Maria Thayer), is a classic underachiever who, prodded by her pal on a night out, chats up a good looking fellow a few levels above her on the social scale. The next morning, Deb and her new friend are forced to deal with a zombie outbreak, her new friend's snobbish family, and an extremely jealous girlfriend.

The comedy, mostly supplied by Thayer, plays a greater role than the human-munching and zombie-killing (although there's a decent amount of gore).

The movie was made on a shoestring budget, financed by a Kickstarter campaign. This is another element I liked about the flick; it's one of those movies were the creators worked with a tiny budget and still produced an entertaining movie.

Highly recommended.

Loved it! It is kind of Shaun of the Dead kind of flick, a romantic zombie comedy, but pretty fresh and funny and entertaining and cool. The actress that plays Deb, the lead character, is fantastic, charming and funny. Ray Wise has a great supporting role. The music, the sound, photography, effects - all together made a very good movie in every level. The director played nicely with clichés, made a very light but exciting movie with zombies, and since there is so much zombies these days, it is a great success to make a movie that can stand out. Well done in every way! I saw it at the closing of Dead Lake festival in Palic, Serbia. Highly recommended.
