cyberdeck2000 A waste of film that should never have made it past the cutting room floor. Or even better, it should not have made it past the first person reading it.1. It's sad if there really are the number of evolutionary dead ends implied by these crappy films that really inhabit this country.2. No matter how inbred, ill-bred or just plain stupid; if a person was that badly injured, they would have been taken to a hospital, not a jail.3. I live in a town where the police have a large share of complete slime, but even here, the police can prioritize a dog being attacked and a multiple murder with an injured man on the ground.4. The zombie scenes are amateurish and (the worst insult for a scary movie) boring. 5. This review is after the first 33 minutes of this useless waste of ... pretty much anything I can think of.Do people making these films have any pride? How about self respect? Brain cells? I gave it a 2 because as bad as it is, I've seen worse. The glut of complete garbage actually boosted this film from the -1 it deserves.
Bieber Blows This movie is perfect for it's genre. It's a fantastic zombie movie. I highly commend the producers and directors for attempting such a project. It isn't easy to make a film, and this one has suspense, thrills and interesting ideas. It's a great take on the Zombie movie. There are three things you need in a zombie film: blood, gore, and zombies. (And combining all three is the triumvirate of accomplishments.) This film, as far as I'm concerned, wins. I look at some of the reviews for it like Movie Man Kev and I think he is just on IMDb so he can pretend he is smart by attacking films he couldn't make. Don't listen to the other reviewers. If you're a zombie fan, then this is worth a watch.
Andy Van Scoyoc I have no clue what movie I watched because due to all the high reviews this movie has gotten, either there is another Zombie Town or the reviews are being left by the crew who worked on it.Honestly...this movie was bad. I won't say awful, I won't say terrible, but please...it was BAD. I tried to watch this movie after being bombarded with the commercials for it. I am a HUGE fan of Indie movie making and movie makers due to Hollywood's decline into the abyss--in the form of the crap they are pumping out today--and the recent run on remakes that were fine the first (or in some cases even second!) time around.The first time I saw Zombie Town I turned it off a half hour into it, it was so bad. Then I tried to watch it again last night with a more open mind.Sorry...not even my mind is THAT open and though I forced myself to watch it until the end, it got no better.Many of the characters were shallow and one dimensional, the zombies ridiculous (I would have had to stand and laugh at them in the same situation...not run) the dialogue hokey and though the special effects were okay, some people like decent dialogue to accompany the gore.The opening scene of the hicks in the hunting cabin was such low stereotypical "redneck" garbage that I was repulsed. Had I not been curious about the rest of the movie (regrettably) I'd have turned it off right there. What a way to open a movie! NOT!For those out there who don't watch a lot of Indie movies, not all of them are bad.There are many, many talented movie makers out there working with little to no budget whose movies will never see even TV release, (and that is sad) so don't believe everything you might read when it comes to this movie with the..."for a low budget movie it was great," excuse.No...this movie was simply a bad movie that also happened to have a low budget...but I don't think even a large budget could have saved it.
bababear Brothers Denton (the sensible one) and Jake (the unfocused one who will find a larger purpose in life as the story progresses) run a gas station/repair shop in a picturesque little town in Vermont. Jake has absolutely no mechanical ability or interest in doing that job, so business isn't good.They get a call to check out a pickup truck abandoned on a rural road. Walking up to a cabin they find blood all over the place and Denton is seriously injured when a zombie attacks them.Jake goes back to town and finds former girlfriend Alex, who's graduated from college and come back to town to do scientific research. They alert the sheriff.A huge wreck has blocked the only road in or out of town. They find Denton. who's a raving lunatic. Denton is locked in a jail cell (goodness knows how they got him there- his being transported happens offscreen).Denton dies unnoticed by anyone and slug-like creatures come out of his body- two exit through the space where his left eye used to be- and the invasion by these strange creatures begins in earnest.The people aren't zombies in the classic sense, but you don't know what else to call them. One nice little old lady was bitten by her dog and she suddenly turns homicidal at a bingo session, biting the arm of her friend who just called bingo.Soon there are zombie teenagers, at least one zombie dog, and zombie grannies running the streets.It's up to Jake and Alex and a small band of survivors to save the day before the monsters overrun their town. Along the way Jake will rediscover his feelings for Alex and, almost miraculously, finally understand how to work on the engine of a commercial Chevy van.Credit writer/director Damon Lemay with not taking this too seriously. He has a limited budget, most of which goes for some really nasty special effects makeup. The story borrows from many sources, from EAST OF EDEN to NIGHT OF THE CREEPS. LeMay dares to have fun with the material, and he has some surprisingly good performers to do his bidding.The character called Randy could have been a one-dimensional macho killing machine who comes in handy in a bad situation. A manic young actor named Dennis Lemoine takes the part and runs with it. He plays the character as having incredibly bad hair (as do most of the male characters) and has a field day kicking zombie butt from one end of town to the other.Once people have been taken over by the parasites there's no coming back for them, so he cheerfully dispatches people he's known all his life- including his Aunt Ruth and his third grade teacher- making wisecracks all the while.The monsters are finally defeated by a plot device borrowed from THE DEAD PIT that wipes out the vast majority of the monsters. As Jake and Alex- the lone survivors- walk into the sunset there's some ambiguous movement in the foreground that sets us up for Zombie Town 2.I'll be looking forward to it.Parents' note: This richly deserves the R rating. Graphic and gross violence, profanity, and a rather surprising nude scene.
