It was inevitable that someone was going to cross the so-called war on terrorism with zombies. As it turns out, they decided to mock homophobia in the process! "ZMD: Zombies of Mass Destruction" is the sort of movie that will only get viewed by people who have decided in advance that they're going to like it. The plot - amid a zombie apocalypse in a small town, an Iranian-American girl (who everyone thinks is Iraqi) gets assumed to be a terrorist, and a gay couple is about to come out to one of them's mom - sounds like something dreamed up by someone with too much time on his hands. But more than anything, I get the feeling that it's fun to play zombies.The movie is no "Shaun of the Dead", but makes no pretense about what it is. Janette Armand sure is a fox.

This wasn't the best movie I've ever seen, but also, not the worst. I do like how they included the LBGTQ community in this one with the gay main characters, and even if the plot was mediocre at best, the special effects were surprisingly good for a movie with a relatively small budget. The screen writers chose a small-town... well, small-island feel to the setting rather than a big city (such as London, New York City, Los Angeles, etc.) and maybe connected to those that live in such environments. With this film, they incorporated today's social problems (as they were just beginning, as the film was made in the early 2000s)with the LBGTQ aspect and the religious opposition to it. As a whole, the movie is worth a rewatch or two.

ZMD is interesting if not scary, and amusing if not laugh-out-loud funny. Kevin Hamedani makes some valid points for the Progressive, tolerant viewpoint, while other points are made less persuasive by the cartoonish exaggeration of Conservative stupidity.There are several shots where the side of a zombie's head is blown away, and I'm not sure how Hamedani and crew did those so well, given the obviously low budget. There's also an eye that pops out fairly well. On the other (severed) hand, each time a face, or portions thereof, is ripped off, the results look more like a face beneath layers of strawberry jam than a skull that's missing part of its cozy.Armand, however, has screen presence and acting ability. The consensus on the message board of her IMDb page is that she is "really hot," a "babe," and has charisma, provided that "charisma is a code word for hotness."Why you should see it You feel that any self-respecting zombie connoisseur must see all available zombie movies, in order to name, with some authority, both the "best zombie movie ever" and the "worst zombie movie ever." You're a Progressive who loves to see Conservatives made to look foolish and then devoured. You want to see a hot babe shoot zombies in the head.Why you shouldn't see it You're a Conservative. You're more into vampires. You're sensitive on the subject of cannibalism, given the awkward events of this year's family reunion. --from my review at www.1man365movies.com

Rubbish, boring, unfunny... go somewhere else to find a zombie flick Nothing new in this film..literally nothing, I didn't know if it was meant to be a comedy as there were so few gags in the whole film (I'm being over generous there!), the zombie effects were fine but we've seen so much zombie action we need a new take on it.. as I said nothing new here Spoiler Bit There's no chance of spoiling this film as it manages all on it own, but just in case... what was the last scene about.. the speech bit by the new mayor, did we have to listen to that boring speech just in order to see the 'oh so hilarious' kids pictures, 'I miss my dad' with blood spurting out..repeated with arm missing ha ha. 'I hate Arabs' is that funny? Or did we have to listen to the speech so that we get the twist ending that there is no twist ending and the last laugh is on the film makers who got to make us watch this tripe... very poor, can wait, preferably a lifetime, for the sequel
