Zombie with a Shotgun

I stumbled upon the 2019 movie "Zombie with a Shotgun" by sheer luck in 2021. I had never heard about the movie, and of course with my fascination and interest in all things zombie, of course I found the time immediately to sit down to watch this 2019 movie from writer and director Hilton Ariel Ruiz.

And oh dear God, this was not a good movie.

The storyline told in the movie was beyond mundane, and it was so difficult to get into the story and take it in. I have to admit that the storyline, as written by Hilton Ariel Ruiz, was just a swing and a miss. It was so pointless and uneventful that I gave up on the movie without seeing it through to the end. And it didn't really help that the entire character gallery in the movie were every bit as mundane, bland and pointless as the storyline was.

The acting in "Zombie with a Shotgun" was fairly okay, taking into consideration the type of movie this was and the type of budget they were operating with. Sure, don't go ahead and expect to see stellar performances here, because that is just not happening. I will say, though, that while the storyline was atrocious, the actors and actresses - for the most parts - actually fared better than what was to be expected.

Visually then "Zombie with a Shotgun" was just not impressive. A zombie movie needs proper special effects and prosthetics to be packing a punch. And sadly, "Zombie with a Shotgun" didn't do that. Also one of the reasons why my interest in the movie was so quickly fading.

Ultimately, then "Zombie with a Shotgun" is not an impressive or memorable zombie movie. And it is not definitely not one that brought anything new or innovative to the genre.

As a zombie genre fan, then I can't recommend that you waste your time or effort on "Zombie with a Shotgun". Some of us suffered through this, in greater or lesser extend, so you don't have to.

My rating of this 2019 zombie movie lands on a generous three out of ten stars.

I'd rather die in a zombie apocalypse than finish sitting through this garbage.

Absolute crap. I got half way through, nothing had happened apart from some dreadful acting, terrible writing and super awkward sex scenes. Don't waste your time.

So, I'm not familiar with the origin of this story -- title caught my interest. And it is nothing like I expected, and am dumbfounded by all these glowing reviews. They must all be 'investors' who want to turn a profit. Within the first five minutes, we witness a rape -- or at least the highly censored and edited version of a rape. A few minutes later, we have a love scene - again edited so no naughties are shown, but you know they're on the editing floor -- or on the dvd you can order. and the rest of the movie follows suit -- a terrible movie, horrible production value - but does have those abbreviated sex scenes.

This movie is amazing. The writing and directing is great. The cinematography is on point. All actors are amazing. The sound is decent.Thank you for all cast and crew for your efforts in creating this film of course production you kick butt. I'm a sucker for a well made intricate indie film. I've been waiting a long time to see this film I'm so glad I've had the opportunity to do so! I encourage anyone to watch this film. This isn't just any zombie movie. I hope to see more from you guys!
