    Funny

    I was one of the lucky ones to first see this film at it's world premiere. Though it was the second screening unfortunately for me. It was truly funny. Had some great moments that I would love to spoil for you right now.... But I won't. Surprisingly kid friendly it seemed. Not one of those films that is full of gore but rather filled with the laughs. Good Ole fashioned independent low budget Zombie movie the way it was meant to be. Mixed with the comedy flair and you got something here that is Worthy of a sequel for sure. What was even cooler was to the the main character "Mac" walking around right after the showing of the film in full costume and character. When this comes out on DVD & or Blu Ray I am buying it for sure!!

    Amazing film

    I was lucky enough to have a "Large" zombie role in this film and loved every minute of it. The film is funny and witty and I suggest everyone view it at least once. Look for the extremely large zombie towards the end, that's me. :) On set was a blast with Bill "Freight Train" McLean and crew and I would certainly work with them on any project at any time. There are some people that posted reviews on here that have no say in how the film turned out. Nothing bothers me more than an uneducated fool spitting garbage about stuff he can never understand or appreciate. It is probably best to keep you comments to yourself if you have no idea what you are talking about sir. Besides, until you have seen the commitment and drive it took from everyone involved, you really have no say. I love the film and cannot wait to own the DVD.

    it was pretty good

    Acting was alright, and some of the effects were corny, but i did like how it kept you on edge.

    Straight to DVD blithering mess!

    Sometimes budding chefs try to put two ingredients together and it just doesn't work. Comedy and horror have been done and done well before, but it says something about the paradox of life when you see a film of this nature that is neither funny nor scary. Even the ambiance of the Saco drive in could not save this movie. The lead character Mac (The starring role the director was humble enough to bestow upon himself) is hollow and wooden both in the acting and directing. Only after noticing him use social media to proposition "fans" to vote it high on IMDb (so it would sell more dvds) did I feel compelled to share my thoughts.

    Such high art film making. Just the title of the movie suggests the same plot twists we haven't seen since Hitchcock's Vertigo but matched with the intellectual stimulation you come to expect from movies where extras are the stars being shot down and hacked up by the overacting renaissance man of our time Bill "Freight Train" McLean!

    If you're looking for good local horror I would highly suggest Corey Norman's "Hanover House" and Shawn French's "Wrong House". The most scary and funny thing about this movie is realization of the minutes it steals from your life.

    Take it from me and don't waste your time.

    Save your time and don't watch

    Any "good" review left for this (on here, rotten tomatoes) is from people on the film trying to big this film up. Don't fall for it Don't waste your time with this. There are great zombie comedys and this is far from it. The fact they compare it to such ones like Shaun of the dead and cockney vs zombies is beyond ridiculous!

    The "comedy" is cheaper than cheap and more than often is forced upon you. It is infuriating, annoying, lazy and isn't in the least bit funny.

    The acting is dreadful and increasingly bad as the movie goes on.

    The plot of the film I felt was pointless. Honestly there is nothing good I can say about this film.
