Swamp Zombies!!!

From this site I understand the movie cost $12.000 to make, of which most probably was used to hire Jasmin St. Claire for a small supporting role. However unbelievable she is as a hospital manager, her acting was by far best of the movie - and that's saying something. Most of the others looked bored or ashamed to be in it, delivering wooden performances and terrible dialogue.

Not that they were given much to work with, although the basic idea is interesting enough it's full of plot holes, goofs and continuity errors. For instance the storm that makes the thugs not disposing of the corpses correctly and takes out communication doesn't seem to affect the students in the forest one bit. And if you're attacked by zombies you'd forget about your towel and stuff, or probably fight given one turns out to be capable of some quite decent martial arts later!

The camera work isn't very good either, especially the lighting is bad. But it's easily topped by the sound which has a lot of background, poor cutting and a soundtrack that's actually quite good but blares through your speakers at times. Make-up is probably about what to expect in a movie like this, however there are no special effects to speak of and thus gorehounds will be disappointed. Some nudity is included, nevertheless this alone won't save the movie.

Overall one of the worst movies I've ever seen, inept at every department although the premise is good. That together with a few nice rock songs and some good looking ladies (certainly not all of them) save this from the lowest rating possible - albeit only just.

There are good zombies movies and there are bad zombie movies. "Swamp Zombies" fall into the latter category. The DVD cover actually looks promising enough, but once you start the movie, that illusion vaporises like dew in the morning sun.

The story in "Swamp Zombies" is fairly much average for a zombie movie. Experiments were being done on corpses, and for some reason the corpses come back to life, hungry for human flesh.

But the acting in "Swamp Zombies". Wow, that baffled me. I have rarely seen anything like it. Most of the performances put on here were well below average, with forced, halted dialogue and performances that you never really bought into. Most of the people seemed like they had just memorized their lines and were stumbling through to put them out there. It was painful to watch. I am not sure why, but apparently it was a big deal to Brain Dead Films to have Brian Heffron, Jasmin St. Claire and Dan Severn on the cast list, but those people can't act!

There is a good enough amount of gore in the movie, and that is actually the one thing that the movie have working for it. But it is hardly nowhere enough to make it interesting.

The zombie make-up, well it was almost non-existent, was nothing interesting. Most of them looked just like ordinary people. So nothing to come here for.

Sure "Swamp Zombies" is an ambitious project, and hats off to Brain Dead Films to do this. But the movie never rises beyond an amateur attempt at making a movie. I am sure there are fans out there for these particular types of low-budget movies. I, however, am just not one of them. I don't mind low-budget movies, but this was just too uneventful and too plain.

I watch many independent horror movies. I'm a real Indie Movie Buff. Trust me when I say I've sat through some awful movies. As a self confessed B-Movie fan, It takes a lot for me to write such a bad review. But in all honesty, Swamp Zombies is absolutely pathetic.

The editing was the worst attribute of the whole movie. You can hear the camera's sound cutting out, as the scene changes. They seem to drown this noise by using some Un-Suspenseful, dire Backing tracks.

The acting is Terrible. Without a doubt the worst I have ever seen in a movie. I'm not just saying this for effect either. Genuinely, Where'd they find there actors, off the street? As for the camera-man, I can only assume he was drunk, since he couldn't hold the camera still.

The setting was Grotesque. It was supposed to be a lab. It was a room, with a few curtains and some wood blocks for about six extras to lie upon. Tragic.

There was a sex scene, Involving two Ugly as hell 'Actors'. The girl wearing a dirty old grannies bra. It just looked totally amateur, and was probably the LEAST arousing thing to Disgrace my screen.

There are two FIXED reviews on here Obviously posted by the cast/Crew. About six lines of non-detailed bull about the movie, making it sound like a blockbuster masterpiece. On Killerwolf films other movie Curse of the wolf, There are two more fixed reviews there. As if these losers are writing their own reviews giving there movies 10 out of 10. It's pathetic.

Avoid this trash like an STD. Even if you like B-Movies, And Cheese.

1/10 - Some girl has a shower scene = Nice T*ts.

Awesome movie, exciting fight scenes, professional editing, award winning music, great acting, crystal clear sound, brilliant script...oops sorry i made some spelling mistakes there. Let me correct them.

awesome = awful, exciting = hilarious, professional = dreadful, award winning = random horrid, crystal clear = sound crew were on vacation, brilliant = diabolical.

I think the only reason there were not goofs listed for this movie is that there would be so many it would crash IMDb servers.

I read it was originally 3 hours long and they cut it to just under 2, i think they needed to cut 2 more hours out of it.

Yeah it was low budget but you don't need budget to write a script, it just didn't have one. It seemed to be just an excuse to show some breasts and then kind of throw some Zombies in it too.

All that aside you still have to sit through all 2 hours of it just because it was so funny, it wasn't listed as a comedy but you couldn't help but laugh at it.

It's type of movie guy would watch with a bunch of drunk friends (Please drink responsibly).

I definitely think this kind of projects are the best ways for an aspiring filmmaker to learn the trick...actually I would like to see this type of films made in my own country. I'm also a fan of B-horror like Braindead or Killer Klowns from Outer Space. I rented Swamp Zombies!!! with the intend to just have a fun time and not expecting a masterpiece.

But even those expectations were too high. I don't say I could do this better, but this was one of the most boring films I've seen in quite a while. I really can appreciate the idea of a zombieflick with lots of gore, kung-fu and nudity in it. But except for the fun the director took on the nudity, 'Swamp Zombies!!!' just didn't work.

Let's be honest: two hours is just too long for a zombiemovie. Kungfu-scenes were overlong, lack of continuity and terrible acting made this film quite a boring ride, instead of the fun roller-coaster-ride I had hoped to see.
