Microbudget horror delivers

Die(ner) is a simple little horror film made for very, very little money. When accepting that, one can find quite a lot of enjoyment out of it.

It's about a serial killer who murders a waitress and short-order cook during the graveyard shift of a roadside diner, only to run into some problems. The first is an arguing couple who come in and want to be served and the second is that his victims are about to come back to life as zombies. Throw in an old sheriff, some wry dialogue, and some originality and you have the recipe for a fun little microbudget horror movie.

The only drawback is, as with most low budget films, the action is low and some of the performances are stiff, but the lead playing the serial killer is quite charismatic. Just give it a chance, especially if you're disillusioned by Hollywood horror movies.

KFZzzzzz

A serial killer masquerades as a waiter at a night diner after he has killed the cook and waitress, but as customers arrive his murdered victims come back to life as zombies (no explanation given). Nice idea, this started reasonably promising, despite its obvious low budget. Sadly the middle section was a rather tedious bore, too few characters and poor attempts at comedy, clautraphobically set in a single location. The film does pick up towards the end but it is too little, too late. I have given KFZ a second viewing but with no improvement, I won't be watching it again. KFZ - Kentucky Fried Zombies: catchy title for a crappy movie.

Awful but not even redeemable

As someone who actually enjoy these cheesy terrible, watch-ably bad horror films I was kind of looking forward to seeing this until it began and with in the first ten minutes all I wanted was lo the ot off. It was God awful and it wasn't even awful in the good way!

Stay clear of this film. Unless u want a film to completely rip apart with friends.

It honestly felt like no effort was put into this film and it honestly shows so badly.not worth it watch at your own risk

A low-budget Zombie Farcical thriller

A charming wise-cracking serial killer, sets up shop at an all-nite diner. Hoping to lake-out the 3rd-shifters that come in for coffee and pie. A bickering couple comes in and just as he's about to get started, here comes the dearly departed. Now this isn't a barricade the restaurant from the oncoming zombie apocalypse, in fact they don't even lock the doors. instead its a big farce as the couple has to wrap their brains around the fact that their brain eaters in they have to restrain. As they try to un-animate the recently re-animated. They also try and get help. As well as realizing their host is a serial killer who they have to escape from while avoiding the zombies. In one funny scene they ask the killer why he has a bag full of tape and rope? Well it's a tape and rope bag what else would you keep in it?

It's My Tape And Rope Bag, What Else Would I Put In It?

First I want to point out the only actor I enjoyed 100%. That was Joshua Grote. Now the rest of the cast was pretty good at their parts. Not all the zombies though, some of the zombies were pretty bad. This film has a lot of dialog in it and Grote is speaking most of it. His character is not all there in the head and he did a great job of acting that way. I enjoyed watching him talk. But too much talking in the film lead to being a little bored. There was a couple gore scenes, but no real excitement. The scare factor was low too. Also there was some things that they touched base on in the film that were never resolved. One important thing had to do with Grote's character and I wish they would of resolved it. But overall it was a fun movie to watch. But it had just as many good moments as bad ones.

Quotes
Sheriff Duke: I remember 1974... My wife as so god damn beautiful. We had just gotten married and I didn't think things would get any better for me at the time. I had just started my first patrol and had my entire career ahead of me. She had told me she was pregnant and I remember I just sat down... I just sat down right where I was at. I think... I was in Dave Solinski's garage when I got the call and I just sat right down on the ground. At first I was so... happy. I was the happiest son of a bitch on the planet I told her how much I loved her and she told me she loved me even more. But... after she hung the phone up I started thinking... This was probably going to be the happiest moment of my entire life. Right then. The summit on top of the mountain you know? And a thought came to me like a thunder bolt... that I'd never be that happy again. I got... so... god damn depressed and I just wanted blow my brains out... right there... on the floor... in Dave Solinski's garage.
