Zombie eXs (2012)
3/10
It wasn't just the zombies who reeked here...
21 December 2013
I watch just about anything that includes zombies, and most of the time it is some fairly questionable movies that go through the player. "Zombie eXs" was indeed one such movie.

The storyline in the movie was actually the best part of the movie. It had potential, but it was just shattered by horrendous acting and lack of commitment from most actors and actresses. The storyline is not your average take on the zombie genre. There is a good amount of comedy and interesting ideas here.

However, it was so poorly translated from script to screen, that it was just a downright bad experience to sit through this movie. And I must admit that I actually fell asleep during the feature. It just didn't have that much appeal.

Most of the people on the cast list were not really putting in attempts of delivering performances with their hearts and soul. And a combination of lack of conviction and really awful dialogue didn't help to lift up the movie as a whole. The only person who put on a memorable performance and actually seemed to have an ounce of acting talent was Madison Hart (playing Lilly).

The zombie make-up effects were adequate for a movie of this caliber, production and type. Don't expect to be blown away though. The zombies here are not your averagely defined zombies of the genre, and they were pulled off nicely enough.

"Zombie eXs" had potential, but it was ultimately brought to its knees by the awful dialogue and a lack of commitment from the people cast for the various roles.

There are far, far better zombie movies out there of the amateur kind. And I can't honestly think of a reason to recommend this particular zombie movie to anyone.
