Walking with the Dead

Not very funny spoof of Walking Dead. Some lines were funny, but it relied too much on very contemporary pop-buzz-terminology. I guess they didn't consider that many who watch a serious show like the Walking Dead are probably not interested in Snookie or Kardashian or all the inside jokes on TMZ. So it was overkill.

But the funniest line was when our hero was all upset that Twitter, Facebook, Instagram went down during the Zombie Apocalypse, but then asked about Linked In, and was told, "No, Linked In's still up."

But after that, pretty boring. I shut it off after 20 minutes. The guy who was to play Daryl didn't even look like him at all, or talk like him. They should have hired actors who could really spoof the originals.

The one star I give this stinker is only because there are a couple of funny moments and lines. I also kind of appreciated the homage to The Walking Dead (the sheriff, an obvious Rick, is called Sheriff Lincoln...the last name of actor Andrew Lincoln, who plays Rick in The Walking Dead).

The script is one of the worst imaginable. Jokes and gags fall cringingly flat left and right. This is only exacerbated by the horrid non acting from the cast of non actors. The plot is a silly mess. The directing is non existent.

Skip this unwatchable dretch.

What has happened to Spoofs and Pardodies?

Oh wait... I remember! The Scary Movie Franchise...

Yeah, it has to be said that this movie follows all the old tropes of trying to cash grab at a popular formula. We are long past the days of Mel Brooks thanks in part to a Politically Correct sensibility that seems to have issues with people taking the P**s out of every cultural stereotype and shoving it in our faces about how Hypocritical society really is...

This was the Genius of many Early Parody Movies... Mel;; Brooks, a Jewish Director/Writer/Movie Star, was more than willing to not only shove the ridiculous stereotypes of most people into our faces and say 'Seriously! This is how Stupid we all are!' but also send up his own beliefs because he KNEW that even he and his beliefs were not above a level of Hypocrisy.

Brooks, Zucker and Abrahams were very culturally aware... and never afraid to ruffle feathers for a laugh - because when we laughed at what we saw on screen, we were also laughing at ourselves...

Sadly, this art seems lost... This movie does NOT hit any of those notes and instead relies on 'Parody' of the most popular movies of its genre...

The Title is obviously a Parody of The Walking Dead, There are references to 28 Days Later, Star Wars, Zombieland (Parody of a Parody? Are you serious?), Warm Bodies and many more.

For what its worth, the film is NOT terrible... In fact, it has elements that are genuinely funny, though they are few and far between.

The effects are possibly one of the better elements of the movie - And sometimes quite graphic and gory... But this does not make it a great film.

Its biggest problem is they try too hard to cram as many pop culture references into the film to try and score cheap laughs that most of the time just do not work.

Given that so many films seem to be pandering to the so called 'Social Justice Warriors' and avoid making jokes that may even remotely come across as Racist or Religious in anyway - Its still baffles me how so many of these movies still rely on Stoner Humour to try and get laughs!

Overall, its cheap, tacky, but to be fair... Its short and mildly entertaining.

It could have been so much more though - Instead to falls into the vain of Disaster Movie, Epic Movie, Scary Movie 4, The Starving Games and such like... Only with a much lower budget.

Its not going to challenge your humour much - But you may get a few cheap laughs out of it.

If people are going to continue doing parodies - PLEASE FOR GODS SAKE STOP TRYING TO BE POLITICALLY CORRECT! NOTHING SHOULD BE SACRED TO HUMOUR!

This movie was that bad it's really not worthy of a review, it was one of the worst spoofs I've ever seen in my life!...There was nothing humorous about it at all. The acting was terrible, the story line was plain stupid. I'm pretty sure I fell asleep at least five or six times whilst watching it. At times I felt embarrassed for the people involved in the making of this movie. I'm very sure their intentions were good when they had the idea of making this spoof of the walking dead TV series crossed with warm bodies the movie but it was just plain bad and it failed to deliver. I don't think i even chuckled once in the entire viewing of this movie. If you really want to save your money plus an hour and a half of your life then don't watch this extremely boring attempt at humor just give it a miss big time!

If you haven't watched the zombie movies being spoofed, you won't get it. If you don't have a sense of humor, then don't bother watching a comedy. This is a lampooning mash-up mostly of "The Walking Dead", "Warm Bodies", and "Zombieland". If you loved them, then you will love this. There are sprinkles of other classics that makes me want to watch it again to see what else I can catch. "Dawn of the Dead", "Shaun of the Dead", "World War Z" are represented. I haven't seen every zombie movie so I couldn't tell ya everything. "You're name is Romero?" I laughed every time the wannabe "Rick" character mistakingly calls his kid Carl. At my house we routinely say F-N CARL!! Maybe it's just us. We think it's funny. There might not be Twitter or Twinkies, but there are zombie strippers. Don't let the uptight haters dissuade you from this one. It's not an Oscar winning movie, it's a silly fun movie.
