Joel Waite Despite the very low rating and the other reviews, this was MUCH better than many low budget zombie movies. A minimum of 'dumb blond' moments! Little 'bad acting' that one expects. Little of that fake fighting we've learned to expect.It has decent acting, multiple story lines, a good score, and a somewhat unique story. If you're not looking for wild zombie action out of the block, then the story builds up in a regular fashion.Don't listen to the nay-sayers, this one is worthy of a look.I believe that it deserves at least a 5.0 rating, if not better.

Horror Fan Engaging horror movies can be made on a low budget. This had a budget and it's terrible. It doesn't challenge the audience or up the ante to where we care about the characters. There was little drama, gore, and horror, all destroying even a little chance of a decent climax. The acting was decent enough throughout. By the end credits, I was happy that it was over.It's a rough, choppy watch that somehow makes intersquad paintball seem more interesting than actual zombie fighting. This mentality leads to some atrocious examples of how overused CGI can sink an entire production when done wrong. Who knew that a horror movie could drain all the fun out of mutated zombie animals?

jamdifo When I recognized the first 3 actors in this cast, Mischa Barton, Billy Zane, and Dee Wallace, I thought there must be a decent attempt at making a good zombie movie. Wrong! All 3 had forgettable performances and the only shocking thing (not really because I didn't care) was all 3 died before the final 10 minutes (not counting the credits).Some of the main ingredients for a good zombie film are good-looking gory zombies, special effects, people getting eaten, and ZOMBIES! There's hardly any zombies till the end of the movie, and you hardly see any of them up close. The ones you do are lame. The worst looking zombie in The Walking Dead is far superior to any zombie in this movie. The makeup stinks, effects are non-existent (except for lame headshots), and not one good zombie munching scene.This movie is boring and lacks any qualities of a good zombie movie. Bad acting performances all around, but the worst by a landslide is Michael Kean. The guy can't act and he's annoying. I would've given this movie 2 stars if he got killed. The doc played by Brian Anthony Wilson looks like Uncle Phil from the Prince of Bel-Air. This movie is only for hardcore zombie fans who will waste 90 minutes of their life.

gavin6942 A young militia is all that stands between a coming dead horde and their rural town decimated by the fracking industry.Harrison Smith has said he would never do a zombie film, that zombies are "the NASCAR of horror". His position on avoiding the zombie subgenre was probably wise, as the market is flooded and trying to break through is not easy. As for what he meant by "the NASCAR of horror" is a bit more unclear. Clearly it is meant as a derogatory comment, but NASCAR does happen to be the second-most-watched sport in America, so maybe it is not the insult it first seems.Where zombie films work best, when not just being an opportunity for gratuitous gore, are when they have a sense of satire. The classic example is Romero's "Dawn of the Dead". Does this film have a political message? There seems to be a strong subplot with the fracking mines, but it never quite comes to a head... the punch is pulled.Director Harrison Smith brings in his regular Felissa Rose, this time casting her as a cult member who speaks to God. This is a strong role, and Smith should be commended for bringing Rose back to acting and the horror genre. We also get Billy Zane, the director's best catch since Cloris Leachman. In fact, probably his best one yet.One positive about "Zombie Killers" is how it is aware of its own existence in zombie films, with mention of "those old zombie movies", though direct references tend to be few. One of the most obvious is actually to "They Live", which is not a zombie film at all. But we are made clear that this is our world, not some bizarre film world where the living dead are a complete shock to those around them.The film is decent, and visually very well done, but suffers some obvious problems. The biggest, again, is the uphill fight of being in the zombie subgenre. Although better than the average zombie film, it still carries the stigma. There is also the unfortunate situation with the title. "Zombie Killers" was already taken, which is probably why the subtitle "Elephant's Graveyard" was tacked on. But this presents confusion: is it a sequel? No. Is it in Africa? No. The title makes the casual video store customer wary.
