The Manson Brothers Midnight Zombie Massacre

Right, well as an avid zombie fan, I must admit that I just had to sit down and watch this 2021 horror comedy titled "The Manson Brothers Midnight Zombie Massacre", as it was a movie that blended zombies with pro wrestling. And yeah, having been a kid in the 1980s, I grew up watching wrestling on TV, so of course there was something nostalgic about this project from writers Mike Carey and Chris Margetis.

Now, the title itself sort of made me wonder about the contents of the movie, as I was thinking about old Charlie Manson, so I had a flickering doubt about what I was going to be in for here.

And while "The Manson Brothers Midnight Zombie Massacre" definitely was watchable, it just wasn't an outstanding movie. Why? Well, first and foremost, the pacing of the movie. It took director Max Martini forever to set the stage, and by the time things actually started to uppen the pace, it was just about an hour into the foray, and by that time too much time had passed by with little fun or zombie action. So it was somewhat of an ordeal to sit through "The Manson Brothers Midnight Zombie Massacre".

Sure, the concept idea of zombies and wrestlers does have some appeal to it, but if you look at it afterwards when the movie is finished, then you're not going to be finding yourself clapping your hands in glee, because the mixture was just a bland and mundane end result.

The acting performances in "The Manson Brothers Midnight Zombie Massacre" were adequate. Sure, I wasn't expecting to be in for a Shakespearian experience here, but I will say that the performers put on adequate enough performances given the limitations of the storyline, plot, script, dialogue and character gallery. I will say, though, that the performers definitely had a wrestling-feel going on, because that was spot on.

Visually then "The Manson Brothers Midnight Zombie Massacre" was actually fair. The zombie make-up and effects were actually good. They weren't as amazing as what you would see in a Romero movie or the TV series "The Walking Dead", but they were good enough. It definitely was a couple of steps above the typical rubbish that tend to flood the zombie genre.

All in all, then "The Manson Brothers Midnight Zombie Massacre" was watchable, but it was a generic and bland venture into the zombie genre. The potential was there for something outstanding, but it just ended up being just another drop in the rotting ocean of zombie movies. And while it is watchable, this is hardly a movie that I will be returning to watch a second time.

As such, then my rating of "The Manson Brothers Midnight Zombie Massacre" lands on a five out of ten stars.

The Manson Brothers Midnight Zombie Massacre is a horror comedy film directed by Max Martini. The film stars Chris Margetis, Mike Carey, David B. Meadows, Randy Couture, D. B. Sweeney and Jayden Lund.

Two brothers compete in a wrestling match on the eve of Halloween as a raging zombie apocalypse infests the people outside the arena.

This film is a typical example of a mix bag film. There are some of the scenes which are very entertaining and some of the scenes which irritates.

Acting in the film is good and all the characters were entertaining. The screenplay of the film is decent to average and climax of the film is good.

There are some of the hilarious comedy dialogues. Overall the film is a decent one time watch horror comedy film.

I really predicted this movie was gonna be bad and unfortunately I was right, in most of the film I got to watch a lot of stupid dialogues until it got to it's point, the zombie makeup was kinda okay, the acting though was terrible so I'm giving it a 3 for the effort because I'm generous.

C'mon seriously, why are people so uptight these days? Can't they take a little fun anymore? It's not a bad movie at all, has some good comedy dialogue, decent acting, fun and good zombie gore. What else does one want to get entertained. It's low budget, but who cares, the actors did a good job, movie does lag in pace and it doesn't bore.

Just take a chill people, don't be so critical of everything and start trolling. Enjoy.

Ok, if you don't go into this one expecting an Oscar winning acting performance, you'll have fun!

This movie is a great B horror movie. Lots of biting, hitting, and violence. The brother adds a lot of comedic relief.
