A bunch of college kids accidentally unleash an evil curse that causes people to kill themselves and turn into Zombie Demons, also known as Zemons! Apparently this received mixed and negatives reviews from the critics, even the regular horror folks (Dread Central and Bloody Disgusting). I have to say I liked it more than they did, and while it may not have had much originality, it had some good jokes -- did no one appreciate the "Wicker Man" joke? And, of course, just having Christopher Lloyd in such a prominent role makes this worth watching, in my opinion. He was great, probably the best comedy role he has had in many years.
Being the big zombie aficionado that I am, I had to watch this one as well, even though I knew it was most likely not going to be a great experience. And true enough, it didn't really turn out to be anything interesting. Perhaps if you were a kid and watched this, you would find it to be interesting.
There is something very Nickelodeon to this movie, but then the movie does make use of some inappropriate language which had me at a loss here, because I thought this movie was meant to be for kids.
The acting performances were as to be expected from a movie of this sort. Most memorable in my opinion was, without a doubt of course, Christopher Lloyd, despite only having a small role in the movie.
It should be said that for a movie of this type, then the movie did make good use of effects without being gory and extreme. The zombies, well zemons (half zombies, half demons), as they call them, were more hilarious than then were scary.
This movie is a kids movie and doesn't offer much for an adult audience. As for the 3D effects, well that is a subject better left untouched.

I didn't not expect that at all, I found this movie very funny a bit to funny and I laughing number of times this movie, yes some of it seem silly at times but very funny.
I loved the plots of the movie, great idea spoof Zombie and Demon
The plot: a group of kids unleash a horrible zombie-demon ("zemon") curse on a small town. Everyone who makes eye contact with the kids kills themselves and comes back as a zemon, bent on killing the kids by giving them hickeys
It; was really fun and very enjoyable fast moving movie and really enjoyed how come people kill them self in this movie before they turn into Zemons.
Some of kills scenes is movie were very funny in this movie and there few splatters moment in this movie as well but I think could done more gory deaths thought then they were.
The acting was really decent, It hard to tell if they pretend to play dump in some scene.
I wasn't really happy how the movie came to a end, it kind of feel bit cheated by and in the last scene of the movie is very predicable
I enjoyed most of the movie before the 10 minutes I may I rated higher but it still get decent 6 out of 10

"Everything we said at the shop is actually happening! Whoever we make eye contact with is gonna kill themselves, then come back as zemons and kill us...via hickeys" Casper Galloway (Bostick) is a teenager who is very shy and jumpy due to what happened to him as a kid. When his grandfather (Lloyd) asks him to watch his store he is very afraid. After a group of kids from school show up Casper tries to kick them out until an urn breaks, thinking the warnings are a joke they begin to come up with ideas of what a curse would be. Then they realize its not a joke at all. This is a very very funny movie, but it is mainly stupid humor. I really liked it and laughed a lot but I don't think everyone will find it as funny as I did. For example the plot of the movie involves being killed by getting a hickey from a half zombie-half demon. The writing is funny and the acting is good for a movie like this. There really isn't much else to say about this other then if you like movies with humor like Anchorman and Shaun Of The Dead then you will like this as well. Overall, very funny but not for everyone...also hearing Christopher Lloyd say "Great Scott" was amazing. I give it a B.
First ~ this movie is ridiculous, like, not even slap stick humor. It's silly and gross and knows it.
It was almost as fun as Zombieland... but not quite... but almost.
If you can handle the deliberate campiness, it's fun. I laughed all the way through. Each character played their part quite well.
The creators knew what this was and rolled with it and I think pulled it off.
A bunch of fun.
