Reading the existing reviews, I don't think anyone really "gets" this movie. I imagine the film crew did not embark on this project thinking they would make even a single penny back from the film or even seriously hoping for a DVD release, but instead just knowing they wanted to make a zombie movie and have fun doing it. These guys certainly weren't trying to make a "real" movie. They have produced, however, a very lively and entertaining experience. The fact that it is available on DVD is as much a treat to the movie lover as it is to the filmmakers.
I really like zombies. I like them better than the gore that is often associated with them, and I even think I like them more than breasts. "Wiseguys" was my first Troma film, and for these reasons, I loved it. I have since watched a number of other Troma films, and I think they go over my head. Likewise, I think "Wiseguys" goes over of heads of Troma fans and (of course) fans of mainstream cinema.
"Wiseguys" is not serious about being a good "bad" movie. It's just fun. The makeup looks like it came from those Halloween kits for young children. A lot of the acting is atrocious. I think the script was entirely improvised. But the main characters have quite a bit of charisma and their conversations are a lot of fun. There are a few very clever scenes of zombie chaos. There was one scene in the film that made me laugh so hard I had to press pause. The story itself is rather clever. If you like zombies and aren't expecting a good movie or even a typical Troma movie, you'll have a great time.
(I only watched a little of Meat for Satan's Icebox, and I didn't like it. But I think it went over my head, because I hear it is similar to "Bloodsucking Freaks," which I have paused right now and which, so far, is definitely going over my head.)
