Ambitious does not equal good
The makers of Swamp Zombies clearly had ambitions. Filled with a large cast and a number of locations (yes the low budget favorite woods are used but we also have a lot filmed in a hospital with plenty of extras walking around).
But that doesn't make Swamp Zombies good. I saw the 2 hour cut which is interminably boring. The audio is all in-camera and changes between shots.
The zombies, of which there is way too little are just some people with some blood splattered on them. It would have been awesome to get some mucky-living dead coming out of a swamp, but theres not even a swamp in Swamp Zombies. Its just a forest. Theres also a few scenes at a beach.
Little gore, a surprising amount of nudity, and too much talking. This was director Len Kabasinki's first feature, he has gone on to make 16 more films as of 2022, including a sequel which is mercifully only 75 minutes long.
