Zomblogalypse

Right, well I am not familiar with the web series that the 2022 movie "Zomblogalypse" is based upon, simply because I don't bother with web series at all. So I had no familiarity with this 2022 horror comedy from writers and directors Hannah Bungard, Tony Hipwell and Miles Watts as I sat down to watch it.

And I can't really say that I was harboring much of any expectations to the movie neither, given the rather poor and bad title it had. But still, it was a zombie movie that I hadn't already seen, so of course I opted to watch Hannah Bungard, Tony Hipwell and Miles Watts' movie.

But I have to say that this movie was bad. So horribly, horribly bad. It was low budget, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. But the movie was just not even funny, nor was the storyline even close to having anything worthwhile watching, nor was it entertaining. So it was quite a struggle to suffer through this horror comedy.

The acting performances were wooden and rigid, sluggish and amateurish. But hey, at least that was in touch with the overall feel of the movie. So that had to count for something, in a way, I suppose.

The zombies in the movie were rubbish. It felt like they weren't even bothering to try to make it look like zombies. This was definitely some of the worst zombie make-up and effects that I have stumbled upon in a zombie movie. And believe you me, I have seen a lot of zombie movies.

The movie was lacking comedy, it was lacking horror, it was lacking a story, it was lacking a proper production, it was lacking good special effects and zombie prosthetics, it was lacking basically just about everything.

Do yourself a favor and stay well clear of this one, especially if you want to be entertained by a proper zombie movie.

My rating of "Zomblogalypse" lands on a one out of ten stars.

When I checked for this movie it had a score of 8-ish so I said i'd give it a try. 20 minutes of it made me come back here and write my first review. Please, DO NOT waste your time. This is horrible. Please don't waste time on this, I beg you, don't do my same mistake. As for the movie, it's just bad, not even comically bad, it's just B. A. D.

This movie was made on a tight small budget, yes you can tell but don't let them put you off. These folks have done an excellent job creating something with so little.

I'm not going to bore about plot.

There's reviews with meanings and interpretation of ZomBlog so rate it low, just sit back, play the movie, open some popcorn, have a snuggle, watch it to make up your own mind. Movies can just be enjoyed for what they are and this is one of them. Its nothing flash, not a CGI spectacular, Oscar worthy, it's a low budget horror comedy made by people passionate about the genre. Support these filmmakers and British film industry.

You are either going to get the humour or not and in that way the film is a bit like marmite- you will love it or hate it. The acting is wooden but that is part of the humour. It is good fun and sends up the genre. Watch it for what it is: a fun take on mass produced zombie films and don't expect it to be scary or horrific just very tongue in cheek.

Although many things can be forgiven in low-budget horror films, poor writing cannot. While there are some funny moments throughout the film they are few and far between. The movie really becomes quite the chore to continue watching beyond a certain point. Campy and irreverent can be quite successful in this genre but this fails to deliver on any level. I recommend avoiding this one.
