Zombie Town

I just saw this one last night and prepared me for the worst before crankin' on the 'ol DVD-player. Actually this is not bad, not bad at all in fact. Yes it surely belong in the low budget layer but despite a few shortcomings in different areas it comes out on top.

So let's see...the quality of the image is clearly camcorder like(but could be far worse), a little stiff acting here and there, a few plot holes and various other small things work against it but fortunately doesn't manage to drag it down to the bottom. It appears that the actors and production crew has really tried to do their best despite lack of experience in certain areas. It feels very sincere, me thinks.

This movie is clearly inspired by a few other "classics" like "Night of the creeps"(The leeches), George Romero's Zombie movies(namely Tom Savini's elastic flesh ripping) but i would really say that overall this movie reminds me more of the style of "28 Days later" than some of the old Zombie classics.

All in all we get a nice package with lots of pretty well executed gore, some nudity, a love story, some stupid and/or illogical decisions by our heroes and a few funny moments; both intentional and unintentional(How about the sheriffs toilet visit, great!).

So if you're going to watch this little movie don't expect award winning material here, just take it for what it is and you'll have a good time.

I can tell you this, these guys and gals has made a far superior movie than our notorious friend Uwe boll did when doing "House of the dead" and this team made it with far less a budget than Mr Boll. Clearly you have to have talent to make a movie not just money.

I tip my hat for the team behind "Zombie town" for making a good solid "Zombie" film which should please most other fans of this genre. I hope to see more from them.

There's no messing about in this modestly-budgeted zombie extravaganza - only minutes in, and there's enough blood and gore to keep everyone happy; apart, that is, from the victims of this unspecified outbreak.

This is a lot of fun. The characters are lively and likeable and although this certainly isn't a comedy, there are moments of humour that engages throughout. As a result, we are never given the impression we are to take things too seriously, even during some pretty nasty, well realised set pieces.

The isolated town could have been plucked from 'The Blair Witch Project', which gives it an autumnal atmosphere. Adam Hose, Brynn Lucas, Phil Burke and Dennis Lemoine do well in the main roles, but the real star is the story which retains a tongue-in-cheek quality throughout and delivers some moments that are difficult to forget.

It would be very difficult not to have fun with this. My score is 6 out of 10.

Wow...OK. So, after reading the little feud on here, I decided I had to see this movie for myself. This movie is HORRIBLE. I stopped watching it. I strongly recommend cleaning a closet instead of watching this movie, you'll be more spooked/entertained.

It's low budget with bad acting.

Whoever is giving this "movie" (because this is totally garbage) 10s is completely incorrect and should be disregarded.

I am in no way connected to any of the other reviewers.

Simply put, this garbage is not worth watching.

Very, very, very, very BAD "MOVIE".

HEY EVERYBODY ITS ME, (4) !!!! And today we review ..... night of the creeps 2 ??? Electric boogaloo ????

SOOOO apparently somewhere this film got called night of the creeps 2.0 ..... and for good reason it follows the same idea ...slugs enter you....uh.....and you become a zombie ...now in nature there are actual fungi that inhabit bugs and drive them insane , then those bugs climb the highest plants and stay there until they die and release spores of the fungi to start all over.... SO i mean for an invasion plan .... slugs to make zombies IS a pretty sound tactic ......AND we have seen this idea in MANY other zombie / zombie like films and sci monster films like this since the original night of the creeps back in the 80's SO that film left quiet the impression it seems

BUT this isnt a sequel ......well not officially at least

and please note from 2007, this is the director/writers only film, and thats sad because this is actually a decent little romp of zombie fun over all ..... sure the acting is rough and the over all production is .......average at best .... BUT its for sure a fine attempt and a REALLY good first film .......here we are pushing 20 years later and think of where he could have been by now IF this is his first one !!!! Too bad man ....

it seems at an hour and 22 it probably got cut for gore and maybe titties even (youtube rules i get it ) so watching it for real probably would make it better even ........

the acting is .... meh , newbs it seems but not bad, on par with most indie / low budgets no no complaints , about as expected really

FX are decently done over all ......i mean for what they did , they didnt try to do more than they could it seems and thats a smart choice, sometimes less really is more, knowing you cant pull off million dollar FX means DO NOT TRY TOO ..........instead keep it simple ... blood and done if needed lol.....and it pays off better than tryhard and fail hard ....

lighting was all done REALLY well, they used alot of natural lighting so always smart choices there BUT when they didnt you can tell they knew how to match things up pretty good so again good job ....

just all around good job ...........i wish this film sucked more so i could make fun of it BUT its pretty decent so ........dang lol...

6/10.

I just rented this the other day on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. Plotwise it's pretty standard issue. Small, isolated town. Small group of survivors. Zombie hordes eating them one by one. You know how it goes. What separates this from some of the other zombie movies I've seen, however, is that the filmmakers seem to have a pretty good sense of humor about what they're doing. The characters are pretty funny (particulaly Randy) and some of the scenarios are definitely done tongue and cheek. I wouldn't say it's quite as over the top as Brain Dead, but it's in that vein. All in all, there are some good jokes, some solid gore, and some pretty ambitious action sequences towards the end. Perhaps a little slow getting started, but once it did I liked it a lot.

7.5 stars out of 10.
