Ensofter Overrated and overhyped
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
one-nine-eighty Set in a genre which has grown over the last few years (if not bordering saturation) this film is a mix of horror and comedy with all the elements you'd expect to find in a film aimed at 20-40-year olds - bad language, sexual content, nudity, gross-out gore, action, and tongue in cheek humour. It tells the story of 3 boy scouts who want to grow - two of them have been enticed with the prospect of sexuality and all things cool in a coming of age way, while the other just wants to be the best darn scout he can possibly be. To coincide with a camping trip a zombie virus is let loose in their small town, with the residents slow to respond most people are wiped out and it's left to the 3 scouts to build bridges amongst themselves and save anyone near and dear to them. Tye Sheridan, Logan Miller and Joey Morgan take the lead roles in this film and they deliver well in this Christopher Landon film. It's a cross between "Shaun of the Dead" and "McGuyver" (or the "A-Team") in that, when the film gets going there is no end to their creativity and inventiveness - evidently the skills of being a good scout transfer well to zombie killing. It's an entertaining film which has some fun moments in it, the plot isn't that revolutionary as it follows a standard trope; boy fancies girl but daren't say anything, boy loses girl due to zombie apocalypse, boy realises his feelings due to impending doom from zombies (and a little help from cocktail waitress), boy fights the horde to get girl. Eagle eyed viewers and fan of zombies and horror will be quick to spot some fun Easter eggs along the journey, from the "Haddonfield" sign to the "Jockey" zombie from the "Left 4 Dead 2" game, to the trampoline escape a-la "Zombies ate my neighbours" game. All in all, an enjoyable ride which seems to have suffered from bad marketing - I say that because I'd never heard of the film and only stumbled across it by accident. Pacing is decent and I can't many wasted moments of screen time, and the score/soundtrack was as young and fresh as I'd expect from a film of this kind. Much better than a lot of the run of the mill B-movies being pumped out nowadays and I'd recommend this to friends without a doubt. I'm giving this a solid 7 out of 10.
katerinula This one is a gem for me...it is one of the greatest comedy horror teenagers films i have ever seen... ita was fearfull and funny too....well done...
empatmk The title has explained about this film, that is a zombie comedy with a high school friends background. And for zombie running fans, this is a movie that must be seen because it has element of surprises and definitely not bad at all for the special effects. High school best friends, girls, strip club, zombies, armies, and party. Just enjoy the movie!
gamergcfan This movie is not a subtle parody of zombie movies. It's a teenage comedy that also has decently thrilling action. The humour is lowbrow but still funny enough. The action is a bit silly but still fun to watch. Thankfully, the movie is consistently faced paced, exciting, and never boring. The comedy certainly helped.I'm unsure to whether to state that this is more action or comedy, but it contains both. Just think of Resident Evil with lowbrow comedy if you want a rough idea.+ Funny+ Decent actionScore: 8. Worth watching, but not great.
