The Coed and the Zombie Stoner

I have to say i find movies by The Asylum are kinda amusing and for the budget they use they do OK. They have made some decent zombie movies too, but this was unexpected, not the usual Asylum movie, it worked and seems to be one of their higher rated movies so far.

The Asylum tend to mostly make their own straight to DVD version of the latest potential blockbusters usually with a budget of less than $1,000,000 and normally get their money back within a few months with channels like the Sy-Fy channel buying their stuff and of course the DVD sales.

The movie was reasonably funny, none of their usual cheesy effects, cute characters...thought the guys are dorks, with some references to other zombie movies like the flash back called 28 days earlier and a cat called Romero. ;) The lead actress is good and cute, there is some mild gore, the zombies are not your usual zombies, they are a bit lame at times and there is plenty of young female skin...if you like that sort of thing ;) (Movie starts with 2 full frontal girls and plenty of boobs to follow and more).

Anyway the story is a sorority girl who seems a bit of a nerd, starts dating a zombie....jeez she could do much better, she's hot. ;) but thankfully a zombie apocalypse breaks out and its up to our nerdy girl to save the day when she discovers a cure.

Another movie added to my ever growing list of Zombie movies... 646 titles and counting lol.

BTW nothing wrong with running zombies, if they are recently infected and not too damage then why can't they run? :p

The premise was good but the writing was bad. They tried to be funny but rarely succeeded. If I had known that this was made by the same people who made Sharknado, I wouldn't have watched it. It had some cool special effects and plenty of nudity, so it's not all bad. I have seen lots of worse zombie movies.

When a nerdy sorority girl (Catherine Annette) falls in love with a zombie, it is only a matter of time before a zombie apocalypse is unleashed on campus. The sorority girl discovers that weed is the cure--now she must smoke out the entire school before it is too late.

With a title like this, and coming from the Asylum, my expectations were decidedly low. And yet, they still managed to make an even worse movie than should have been possible. There is more nudity than plot, and the biggest fail is that the film just runs too long. It goes and goes and could have ended a few times but decided to drag on anyway.

You cut ten minutes, maybe fifteen, from this picture, and you have a pretty funny movie. There were lots of great laughs, so it is not a complete failure. But when the boredom starts outweighing the humor, there is no saving it.

While I was loading this up on the DVD player, I was really expecting the worst. I figured it would be a 15 - 20 minute watch depending on how bad it was and how itchy my fast forward finger was.

What a shocker! Production values were good and the acting was pretty good. The movie had funny moments, lots of nudity and bad CGI. What more could you want? As long as you're not expecting Shakespeare, you'll be fine.

Take the zombie flick Warm Bodies, combine it with National Lampoon's Classic Animal House and The Co-Ed and the Zombie Stoner is what you'd get!

Be sure to check this one out!

Certainly not a bad movie, i got a couple of laughs.

What I really wanted to comment on though, was the performance of Jamie Noel, 'Bambi.' Honestly, she nailed it so hard, I was massively impressed. For those of you who aren't aware, her performance was clearly based on a Real Life Sorority Girl, and it was spot on.

If you've never read the letter from this sorority girl to her Sorority, you should, it's quite enlightening(and rather funny that someone like this actually exists in the world).

I'm assuming I can't post links in here, so the best I can say is it google it for yourself. Google: sorority and C*nt punch, you won't be disappointed. If you haven't watched this movie yet, google the letter first then enjoy.

Jamie Noel - good show girl, good show, you nailed it.
