Featured reviews
Now in Gangs of the Dead, rival Mexican and black gangs and assembled arm-candy or gun malls are doing a drug deal in a warehouse that gets busted by the cops. Things go wrong on the outside and they must join forces to fight off the surrounding zombie horde. Here its black and wanna-b-black Asian gangs. Apparently the slang talking Asians kidnapped the black gang member's girl friend in order to deal drugs with them. The deal sours a zombie comet hits earth, but instead of a castle siege it's a running gun battle black-hawk down style
C. Thomas Howell who was in that south rampart show (which NBC will go to hell for canceling) is slumming as usual, his usual black side kick cop. Apparently its okay to do racist stereotypical depictions of minorities if you stick a bandanna on them and call them gang-members. I think one of the black gang-members was that rapper "MYSTIKAL". Sticking to the true ROMERO they have to learn to shoot the Zombies in the head. All news is coming from the lone TV (the black guy from "Bay-Watch nights") and it's about how people react to each other during this catastrophic disaster.
Written and Directed by: Thunder Levin.
Really enjoyable fright flick with some laughs,Very much like ZOMBIELAND.
Feels like a Blaxploitation rift by a Tarantino or Fred Williamson.
Enjoyed the Urban feel when seems most types of these films take place in a small town or remote,These sets ARE NOT out of the way,'You are Knee Deep In URBAN DECAY !' More than adequate cast including -C. Thomas Howell ( Asylum Studios alum nowadays) and GregAlan Williams ( From BAYWATCH TV) and Johanna Watts ( Soon to be be seen in American BATTLESHIP) brings a realness into a Mutant,Vampire& Zombie environ.
Sound track was pretty good with VITAL,Doing most of the soundtrack justice.
Some nice lines of dialogue and some borrowed to great effect.

Anyone rating this anything above a 2 must not be viewing the same movie I just watched. The dialog was awful, the camera work poor, the stock video footage was terrible, and the acting mediocre. There was no human actor on the screen you actually cared about.
There was tons of science flaws that even the common person can spot. The gasoline is non-flammable caused by solar radiation. People are mutating into blood sucking rapists that is caused by the same radiation. Yet when a person is bitten they somehow pass the genetic mutation to them? When are these writers going to learn that no explanation is better than flawed one. Cessna aircraft can fly on electric power? Electric cars drain back in the generator if it stops?
I have seen worse than this, they made a serious attempt at making a zombie flick but failed. Horror wasn't horrifying, the jokes and humor lame, the drama was thin, and the pseudo science was insulting.

I was one of the fortunate few who got an invitation to an advance screening of "Mutant Vampire Zombies from the 'Hood." Like so many of you out there I have been waiting for this one for about a year, and with much trepidation. I think we were all hoping for the best, but fearing the worst. Well, I'm happy to report that these Mutant Vampire Zombies deliver. KeiKabou Holland and Maxie J. Santillan Jr. practically steal the movie, while Johanna Watts and Tyshawn Bryant ground the film with strong, believable performances. In fact, all the gang members are terrific--my only caveat is that their screen time is too brief. The script by Thunder Levin and George Saunders is fun--think more along the lines of an R-rated "The Mummy" than "Shaun of the Dead"--and Thunder's direction keeps the story going at a hurried pace. There's never a dull moment. The zombies look great, the action is crisp and the laughs work in all the right places. After all the waiting, I was happy to see that "Mutant Vampire Zombies from the 'Hood" lives up to the pure hokum fun its name implies.
this was a great movie. I was expecting a poorly made low budget movie with lots of funny bad actors instead i found a movie that had good actors and a good script. one of the best zombie/mutant/vampire movies i seen. it might have had a good opening in theaters if it had been promoted. I would compare it to the land of the dead. this might not be the best zombie movie ever made but its pretty good for some thing with this wacky title. one thing it did miss was hot nudity sure there was some from a woman with one arm but that doesn't do it much for me. over all i had a good time from start to finish and was left wanting to see more. if they ever make a squeal ill be sure to check it out.
