    This was something else...

    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.

    Absolutely terrible film

    It baffles me why morons like this get money to make films. Though I suppose women are more likely to get funding now that there is a push for all of this "equality" or what have you.

    The plot was both campy and highly predictable, Christopher Lloyd despite his star power could not save this movie, and it's clear it was just written by the producer April Mullen because she cannot get any other acting work so she has to write for herself.

    Overall there was a lot of bad acting (did nobody bother to give their background players any sort of direction? Obviously not, but they weren't the worst of the over-actors to be quite honest) and the production team clearly wasted the budget on god knows what, because it certainly didn't go into the film.

    Really not worth the time wasted watching.

    A movie I thought was very funny. Full of stupid humor so it's not for everyone. I laughed all the way through. I say B

    "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.

    Silly

    This movie is very silly, which is not a compliment. Silly in the context of comedy is great for a zany slapstick spoof, but this movie is apparently trying (and mostly failing) to be a more restrained tongue-in-cheek sendup. The intended tone is evidently more Zombieland than Scary Movie, but the execution is more Scooby Doo than either. The goofiness of the presentation, together with some too-convenient script shortcuts, quickly becomes tedious. Even the great Christopher Lloyd gives a gratingly cartoonish performance. I also can't imagine what about this movie would warrant seeing its lackluster action and effects in 3D.

    Waste of time

    This movie was a big waste of time. It was not amusing or fun. The characters are written to be self-aware but end up being super obnoxious. Devon Bostick is woefully miscast and everyone else (except the 5 minutes we get with Christopher Lloyd) are bad actors. This got zero laughs and the gore sucked due to the small budget. The ending sucks the big one. There is nothing in the movie worth watching.
