"The makers of Pot Zombies do not condone the use of marijuana"

[capkronos · 1/10 · 23 September 2008]

They also don't condone using tripods for exterior shots, providing their film with a plot or employing real actors. Hell, they obviously didn't even bother tapping high school or college theater classes for their "talent." Regardless, I can tolerate zero budget films like this if they are done with some level of originality or enthusiasm. I can also tolerate terrible acting. I know when you're just getting started sometimes you have to draft friends and family to play roles. However, this film lacks virtually everything that goes into a decent comedy, a decent zombie film or even a decent no budget film. It's basically just lame grade school level pot humor combined with some of the worst special effects you will ever seen. There isn't even a plot. It jumps from one pitifully unfunny "vignette" to another, with nothing linking it all together aside from toxic weed. So basically you'll get a bunch of 5-10 minute scenes, featuring a bunch of horrible actors pretending to be stoners, who sit around smoking pot before turning into zombies and killing one another. This goes on for about an hour or so and then it ends. Really pathetic. It's like they didn't even try and thought whatever they slapped together would be sold by title and concept alone. Nevermind the fact that contaminated pot turning the users evil is hardly a new concept. Remember CLASS OF NUKE 'EM HIGH from way back in 1986?

The film starts with three rednecks talking about the pleasures of cold beer and pulling tampons out with their teeth (yep, that's the level of humor you'll find here) while toking on a joint. Said joint turns them into green-faced zombies with glowing green eyes (horrid CG effect) who attack and start eating the others. Things cut to a classroom where a stoned student also transforms and rips his teacher's heart out of her chest. There are also scenes at a concert and a at a party, as well as other places. Each bit is cut with really horrible computer graphics, such as the film logo and animated joints; one has boobs and the other farts... oh, how witty. There's also a mock news program, captions and a subpar trip sequence or two. Absolutely nothing even remotely funny or interesting happens in the entire film. Toward the end, the movie throws the viewer a bone by having a gratuitous T&A lesbian scene with two goth girls making out. They smoke pot and when one goes down on the other, she turns into a zombie and starts "eating" the other girl. Hee Hee. Groan. There's also a performance from a band where the lead male guitarist stands on stage buck naked before impaling someone with his guitar. The special effects are typical of home video product, but this movie takes it a step further and makes it seem even cheaper by employing some of the lamest CGI blood spurts you'll ever see.

The film was released by Troma and features some obligatory Troma in-jokes. There's a poster for TERROR FIRMER on a wall and Lloyd Kaufman shows up in a stupid cameo as a retarded pizza delivery man who is killed. Another clichéd touch is a clip from NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD playing on a TV set in the background, which is ironically the only point of interest here.

Even if you're a zombie movie fanatic like I am, my advice is to skip this one. It's a rip-off and a waste of time.

a lost chance due to an original plot

[sergeheyrman · 3/10 · 28 August 2006]

first of all i am from Belgium so my English sucks big time! you c'ant say i didn't warn ya But now the movie, well i thought it sucked big time the start was week and the movie stayed on the same tension the whole time , there wasn't any sign of a story it just flips from 1 smoking zombie to another 1.

You can say that it was kind of funny for a few minutes because the idea was original but then again you can say even for a low budget movie you can do a lot better. I hope they do next time in there new movie Coke zombies or something lol.

i give a 3 for its originality and I secretly think that the weed was real despite the directors comment hope you can make something out of my English crap:) see ya all folks

Troma Hits A New Low

[Scars_Remain · 1/10 · 13 May 2008]

Now, I realize that Troma didn't actually produce this pile of steaming dog crap but the fact that they would put their name on it shows how low they really are. Let's get one thing straight here, this is not a movie, this is a poorly random series of clips of different people getting high, turning into zombies, and eating their friends. There is absolutely nothing more to this film. You'll be happy if you stay away from it, far away.

There is no storyline at all, it's so amateurish and incohesive that I could have probably done a better job myself, hell, I know I could have done a better job. I'm not being cocky, I'm just stating how bad this movie really is. The acting is miserable as well as the pacing, music, editing, effects and absolutely everything else. There is not one single good thing about this film so do yourself a favor and just walk by if you see it on the movie shelves. I sure wish I had done as much.

No budget Marijuana Zombies

[ultra_tippergore · 11 August 2007]

Pot Zombies is another no-budget SOV movie in the "Gore comedy Tromatic" arena. Take some Redneck Zombies and some Class of Nuke em high (in that troma classic there was some radioactive pot that turn people into maniac monsters or something like that, this movie plot is the same turning stoned dudes into maniac zombies). The movie is not that bad if you like this kind of no budget stuff, but its far from good, it have some moments but over all, the FX are pretty crappy, the acting is awful and there isn't that much gore. You can have a good time with this one if you watch it in the right mood, with friends for a laugh in the "So bad is funny" way.

4/10

One of the worst films ever, just have to see it to believe it

[jplumbo1 · 1/10 · 30 January 2012]

OK i just watched it on On Demand For Free, and i was oh this is going to be bad movie, but when watched it i was like oh god, this is terrible, and for $10,000 i can't blame, remember $10,000 is low budget, but seriously. This movie is a terrible B Movie, and now this what pretty much happens the entire 50 mins of the movie, people smoke weed and become terrible zombies that would make George Romero puke and sick, with terrible lines and acting this is a classic stink bomb. The Effects are terrible and could be down by anyone. There is some random weird stuff like ah there is random pop ups with an evil monster joint laughing. Then there is a scene with a concert that has a bunch of stoners smoking, two lesbians having zombie sex, a guitar sharp as ax go through a lady, and the performers becoming zombies. All i can say is WOW!!! This is awful and could be one of the worst movies ever. People can make a better movie for $500 or less, this movie is just like a home movie, it's grainy also.

This is just a weird experience that only hardcore movie fans that like campy and just silly horror and sci fi movies.

FINAL RATING 1/10 or F

Pot and Zombies? How can you mess that up?

[piperian396 · 1/10 · 20 January 2009]

Well the film makers did mess it up. I honestly think I spent more money on the DVD then they spent making the movie. I picked this movie up hoping to have a good laugh at some cheesy low budget humor. But this film isn't even funny in a so bad it's funny kind of way. The movie doesn't have much of a plot to speak of, it is made up of some random threads that are loosely strung together involving people smoking pot and turning into zombies. There are also some bad attempts at humor. I could break all the elements of film making down and say where everything went wrong, but it would be quicker to just say everything about this is bad. Don't waste your money. Go to the dollar section of the store and indulge in some cheesy movies there. This movie isn't worth it.

Good thing this movie wasn't called "Plot Zombies..."

[whammy666 · 4/10 · 28 May 2008]

...Be cause a plot was non existent. I mean...it is just random scenes of people eating people with cheesy, sometimes terrible looking blood/gore. There is a lot of Computer Generated blood splatter which looks absolutely dreadful, and near unbearable to watch. In a scene including an excellent performance by Lloyd Kaufman, there seems to be some really bad cg of something red flying around, I am assuming is supposed to be blood. The zombies have crappy looking glowing eyes, which reminds me of the glowing eyes in Lamberto Bava's Demons. Also, the movie only runs a bit less than an hour. However, I give it a 4 because although it is really, really awful I kind of enjoyed it. My favorite part is when a supposed police car comes after a hippie, and the police lights are CGI'd in the movie. It looks terrible, and it is hilarious. Worth a watch if you are bored, but don't expect a plot, or good special effects...or good production values...or good acting...well, you get the idea.

$10,000? Really?

[eagilmore15 · 1/10 · 28 April 2011]

Okay, first off, the only reason I gave this movie one star is because you can't give less than that. I could hear my brain cells dying in the first five minutes. The acting was CRAP! The dialogue was CRAP! If crap were on the bottom step, this movie would need a ladder to reach it. I have yet to fathom how this movie cost $10,000 to make. Maybe it was all the pot that was supposedly fake. I guess the only way I would really enjoy this movie is if I was high. I get that this movie is probably supposed to be a comedy, but just because it's making fun of horror movies doesn't mean it should be completely stupid. If you're thinking of buying or renting this movie, save your money. I was lucky enough to watch it uncut on television for free. So, while I didn't lose any money, there's a chunk of my life I'll never get back.

The problem is.... they're trying.

[deadinside91 · 1/10 · 27 June 2012]

I had to sit through Pot Zombies yesterday and boy was it atrocious. I mean, for Troma, that's kinda what you expect, but you don't get that same B-movie charm you get from other Troma movies like The Toxic Avenger and Class of Nuke 'Em High. The makers of this movie knew they were making crap, but they direct is as if they tried to make us laugh at it's poor quality. With other Troma movies like (again) Toxic Avenger, Nuke 'Em High, and Blood Hook, they also knew they were making Troma schlock, but they kind of let the movie direct itself, go with the flow and don't put such a comedic emphasis on its poor quality.

This movie treats it's audience like imbeciles and tells us what we're supposed to laugh at (as if it were not already shoved in our faces). It's a lot like those (horrid excuses for) parody movies made by Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg. They really push that comedy in your face to the point where you literally yell "Okay! We get it already!". If you want to make a decent B movie, watch Killer Klowns from Outer Space, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, Mystery Science Theater 3000, or anything made by Ed Wood.

Review: "Pot Zombies"

[wmmosesproductions · 4/10 · 25 February 2006]

"Pot Zombies" lays out its premise very blatantly in the title. There's pot. Then there's zombies. The origin of the "demonic chronic," to borrow from the dialog, is neatly established during the opening credits. A mostly black-and-white sequence accounts for the pot's mysterious beginnings in what must be a clandestine nuclear facility. The accompanying credits are decidedly sparse, devoted solely to the production staff and musicians, which seems unfair because a lot of people clearly put an incredible amount of work into this.

I would soon have an answer as to why no actors' credits were included: There are a s--t-ton of main characters. The entire film plays less as a cohesive rounded story and more as a series of meandering vignettes, introducing new characters minute to minute and seldom revisiting anyone already established. The structure would be forgivable if only the filmmakers varied the formula from scene to scene. Instead, every eight minutes or so we get a warmed-over rehash of exactly what we saw a few moments ago, only with new characters and a different setting. On a $10,000 budget, and considering the amateur-hour acting, it's clear they couldn't pay their cast anything substantial, with the possible exception of the lesbians. Cause they deserve it.

In all reality, this movie could be five minutes long. Every setup, every gore effect approximates the one before and after it. We know how every scene will start, develop and end. To wit:

Scene 1: A group of hunters smokes a joint. They become zombies and turn on one another. Scene 3: Two high schoolers smoke a joint. They become zombies and vomit profusely. Scene 5: Three dropouts smoke a bong. They become zombies, vomit profusely, and devour a retarded pizza delivery guy, who somehow conned the DMV into giving him a driver's license. Scene 10: Two lesbians smoke a joint. They get down and dirty before becoming zombies, then turn on each other. Great scene. Scene the Last: A party. Seven or eight heads smoke a joint. They become zombies and turn on one another. Closing Montage: Scores of stoned zombies roam the streets unabated. No climax. No resolution. No credits.

That's the gist. There are, however, inspired moments where the dialog takes a clever edge, ripe with authenticity, and the numerous characters shine. John Phelan stands out in his portrayal of a far-gone hippie attempting to assuage a suspicious policeman. A mo-hawked Rob Swarthout gets gruesomely strung up via fishing hooks by ghouls who've miraculously grasped the concept of pulleys and levers. And, of course, the lesbians.

While the movie's strengths lie in its premise and casting, its principal weakness is a spate of technical deficiencies. Director Justin Powers, who also edited, did at best a sub-standard job piecing the thing together. Every insert, every cutaway, every moment of shared silence lingers about ten seconds longer than it should, and in some instances longer still. Furthermore, he seems to have all the sound-mixing skills of a deaf-mute. Setting aside the rampant over-dubbing and out-of-sync speeches, simple audio transitions are virtually nonexistent. Glaring, vacuous pauses pervade, devoid of tone or even visual appeal.

The soundtrack works hard to mitigate the video, and features a few well-known musicians (DOA, The Dwarfs, Electric Frankenstein and more). Along with the score by Mark D'Errico, the music helps hem the vignettes together nicely but ultimately can't save the story. Thank god for the lesbians.

Likewise, some decent digital effects permeate the flick, already setting it apart. But, at best, the quality is inconsistent and sometimes these effects become over-pronounced and ugly. Several death scenes are supplemented by gaudy pink spurts of computerized blood. A more effective approach would have been to perfect directional blood bladders, which, admittedly, is very hard work.

The makeup is another matter still. It's interesting that the unnamed makeup artist(s) defied zombie convention by painting the ghouls a flat pea green. Though very thorough and no doubt time-consuming, a more authentic approach would have been to replicate the off-white pallor of a real corpse. Nonetheless, some commendable work went into affecting bright glowing eyes during post-production. And the blood seems mixed to a reasonable consistency.

On the whole, "Pot Zombies" is worth a look. If not for camp-value then at the very least in appreciation for a hard-fought labor of love.

And the say Day of the Dead: Bloodline is bad? At least it has a budget over 2 dollars

[alexhenderson-11711 · 1/10 · 21 December 2018]

Pot Zombies is the definition of absolute torture of a movie to watch. The only time you should watch this utter trash, is when your High (obviously) a young kid, or when your about to die. Cause this movie just might be the one to make you flatline.

Wow!

[LilBitOLunacy · 10/10 · 27 April 2006]

I'll start off by saying, I hate most Hollywood movies because they are over budget, have crappy overpriced actors and have no heart to them. This movie kicked a$$ in my book. It didn't have the greatest special effects, but it was original and made me laugh my a$$ off. I love zombie flicks and this one is one for the archives. I loved it! If there are any fans of the zombie genre, this is a must see! I saw this movie at The Texas Frightmare Weekend in February this year and I was very impressed. There aren't any real top notch actors in it, but my man Lloyd Kaufman has a small role as a pizza delivery person and that made the movie even better (in my opinion). After watching the screening, I had to buy the movie because it was just so damn funny. Hopefully, you'll be able to rent it at a movie store near you soon. If you can't, buy it!!! It's worth it!!!

There's worse ones out there

[slayrrr666 · 7/10 · 3 November 2008]

"Pot Zombies" is exactly the kind of film that it's expected to be.

**SPOILERS**

Following a radiation leak, a shipment of marijuana is infected with radioactive material and gets into the hands of the residents in a small redneck town. One by one, they each manage to find ways of getting their hands on the substance, unaware that they turn into ravenous, bloodthirsty zombies immediately afterwords. Slowly gaining members, the zombies strike out into the rest of the population and launch a massive attack against them.

The Good News: There was some pretty decent stuff in here when it tries to. One of the better ones is the rather unique way it's strung together, tossing aside a genuinely consistent narrative in favor of a central linking theme, seemingly content to show a series of ten to fifteen minute vignettes, most of which are unconnected in any way, and then strung together, without a character that connects the segments. This really makes it have the feel of a complete town is being taken over and everyone is involved, a handy-trick that allows for some really fun segments from time to time. One of the greatest is a pair of gorgeous lesbian groupies who stop momentarily to smoke a joint before hungrily devouring each other, in every sense of the word. Ranging from titillating to outright exploitative, it's rather fun, and as it provides the only nudity in the film, deserves some good props. Another one where a rock band begins to change into the creatures on-stage during a performance is also really fun, launching into the change dramatically before the onslaught of violence and mayhem, which is fun to see. There's also some rather nice amounts of gore in here, as, except for two entries, all of them involve someone getting tackled and ripped to shreds, complete with intestines and hunks of flesh feasted on in every one, providing the gory goods. This also plays up the rather fun, rarely-used parallel between being a zombie and being stoned, in that both forms are equally ravenous, just what's being devoured is the only difference, and this one does that rather nicely. Even some of the humor works on occasion, and the short running time is an advantage as there's only a few segments which make the length stand-out. All in all, much better than expected.

The Bad News: There was a couple problems to this one. Despite being a plus, the plot also works against it. The film is, essentially, one stand-alone segment after another featuring people we don't know smoking heaping helpings of pot, turning into greenish zombies and then cannibalizing anyone in their vicinity. Outside of two, every situation is autonomous of the other, and after a good hour of this derivative nonsense, it becomes a rather tedious test of endurance. This is not helped out by some rather egregious and unnecessarily long scenes. The segment featuring some metal-heads hungry for pizza is agonizingly drawn-out with their stoned pondering about a movie playing on TV. Other segments, one of which features a man turning his dog into a zombie, and a girl in a cab listening to a talkative driver, feel like an eternity has gone by, before each arrives at their less than thrilling conclusion, and are the two where there's no zombie kill, rendering their inclusion questionable. This is bound to be one of the biggest testing points for most to get over, beyond the atrocious special effects. The zombies have a simple green smear applied to them and have CGI-enhanced eyes, otherwise there's nothing really that spectacular about them. The last flaw is the story of how the zombie producing chronic came to exist. There's something about a surreptitious nuclear facility being involved, mixing a radioactive substance into a small town's most recent weed shipment. Of course, it's all speculation as it doesn't give a clear-cut one as it focuses on the carnage instead, but it's something that could've been included rather than speculated. Otherwise, these here are the film's biggest problems.

The Final Verdict: You know exactly what kind of movie this is going to be from the title, and it doesn't disappoint on those issues at least. Give it a shot if this kind of film appeals to you, are a fan of Troma or a fan of the campy kind of horror film, though those who aren't will much likely find more flaws in this one.

Rated R: Extreme drug use, Graphic Violence, Language, Nudity and a mild sex scene

Not amazing, but what did you expect?

[Axmagic1 · 3/10 · 24 July 2012]

Alright, alright. This is not necessarily what any critics would call 'oscar material' or even 'good' but don't think of this as something meant to be great. It's a supposed to be a goofy stoner zombie comedy, and that it is. I'll be honest, I have a bit of a bias here since I myself enjoy making films, but I loved this film. It has a nice analog feel that could only be matched by the likes of a home movie on an old VCR that you and your friends made years ago. That's exactly what this film feels like, one of your friends' movies from years ago that you're revisiting one lazy night. It's got a certain charm to it and watching it, you feel like you are part of the filmmaking experience. It's like you know the people who made this personally and you know they had a great time making this. Like I said, this film is not a masterpiece, in fact, it's awful. This would never be respected in any serious film community but it's not supposed to be. It's a fun movie that some friends got together and made one summer while they were off from college. I mean really, with a title like "Pot Zombies," what did you expect? But it's got character, you like this movie, you like the people involved, and you like that they had fun doing it. Also, this film has lots of zombies and pot, so it's super entertaining that way as well.

Like or hate Pot Zombies- it is a part of Pop Culture

[Biddleproductions · 5/10 · 6 August 2008]

The story(OK there's isn't much of one) follows the title! There's no guessing here. The filmmakers got it made and on store shelves. I hope these guys make more movies. The acting could have been a bit better.

One scene that stood out was the cop car scene with the CG light bar. The person that did this should get a special effects Oscar. It was well worth the price. Another thing that came through was those involved looked like they had a good time.

Lloyd Kaufman is a stand up guy for being a part of a film like this. Troma even distributed the film. As a truly independent filmmaker myself I am thrilled to see people living their dreams and get the project done. I look forward to bigger and better things from the production team behind Pot Zombies.

5 stars. Excellent film.

[incitylight · 10/10 · 27 November 2012]

Attention everyone who gave this fabulous movie a bad review: You do not understand the concept of the movie. This movie is not a story-line and it does not have a plot. The intentions were not to have one. That's the beauty of this movie though, it does not need a climax to be an excellent film. In order to understand the beauty of this film, you must literally be a "pot zombie"; under the influence of Marijuana. If you are high while watching this, you can finally be able to appreciate the extraordinary visual film motifs and graphics. Why would Justin Powers create a film called "Pot Zombies" if he didn't intend for you to watch it high? He represents Marijuana Advocates everywhere and if you attempted to watch this movie sober, you shouldn't even be writing a review because obviously you are an incompetent person. Justin Powers gets 5 stars from me and my roommate. Good job.

Worth a laugh or two

[komet163 · 7/10 · 27 February 2012]

I watched this expecting very little, and I found myself laughing or smiling through most of it, so I think it's worth a look. Yes it IS low-budget, but I think some good work went into it. The special effects with make-up, blood, gore, etc. were mostly well done. I could have done without the CG blood effects and wished they had stuck with the real blood squirting effects that they were already using successfully. The acting is not as bad as some on this board are saying. Some is better than others, but in a zombie flick good acting isn't necessary; everyone is going to die soon anyway. The lesbian sex scene was a nice touch, and the scenes with Lloyd Kaufman were really funny.

The only complaint is that the film just 'ends.' There is no resolution to the zombie epidemic. So far as we know it's still happening as we speak. But for a short film I think it's worth a watch.

If you want bragging rights to watching the worst movie ever made about pot or zombies, this is it!

[debbiemcelroy · 10/10 · 25 April 2019]

My husband and I joke about this being one of the worst movies that he has ever seen. Believe me that he has watched some pretty terrible moves and usually sits through to the end, but he didn't even finish this one. This movie looks like it was filmed on a cell phone, keep in mind that phones in 2005 were not good for filming. It features radioactive "special effects" of glowing green eyes that float around somewhere on the face and and don't even match up with the eyes and green make-up that ends at the neck. This movie is a work of art when it comes to truly bad bad movies. If you want bragging rights with your "buds" to having watched one of the worst pot or movies ever made, I highly recommend this movie.

To Go Against the Mold for a Bit Here...

[Camunt · 7/10 · 25 May 2012]

I really, really enjoyed Pot Zombies. Hear me out here.

I found this film today while browsing the free movies section in the On Demand menu of my TV, and the title alone drew my attention--Pot Zombies. I read the plot summary, quote: "A Group of Sexy Co-Eds stumbles upon some radioactive weed that turns them into flesh eating zombies." I first noted how odd it was that A Group of Sexy Co-Eds had to be treated as a proper noun, and then thought about all of the other shenanigans that may ensue. While there was a considerably small amount of co-eds (which I don't really look for in a film to begin with), there was an incredible amount of cheese, terrible production quality and a hilarious ride.

I think that this film is legitimately more entertaining than Birdemic. The audio editing isn't as consistently awful, but instead of the awful bird.gif, we have awful Vegas Movie Studio preset effects. And it is amazing. There is so much that is so terrible about this film, and it is that much better as a result. From the opening sequence where heavy metal plays while rednecks zombify and eat each other to animated blunts talking to you at random, this film was a riot. I had never heard of Troma in the past, but I was laughing practically nonstop throughout the entire 55 minutes of the film. According to other reviews, this isn't a good indicator of Troma's quality, but my interest has been piqued, perhaps for the wrong reasons! I would definitely enjoy getting my hands on this DVD so I could watch it with friends so we can all laugh at its terribleness.

Don't get me wrong, this film is terrible. The quality is abysmal, the editing is terrible, the special effects...I don't even have words. The English language will not allow me the words necessary to describe how bad the special effects are. At one point, there's a police siren involved, and I won't say any more about that. There is also literally no plot. There's a premise, but that's it. There's just scenes that last 3-10 minutes or so and then they move on to different characters in a different setting. At a couple points, the film feels like it's dragging when it won't even make use of the terrible effects that grew on me. But other than that (and some naked lesbian action and naked man in the second half), it's bloody brilliant. If this film had any more camp, it would have to give out merit badges. I think people take this film way too seriously. Just kick back and enjoy the awfulness. There are even bloopers during the end credits--that's how I can tell the creators had a lot of fun with this film. I highly recommend it for anyone if you just want to have a laugh at a film so bad, it's grand!

I give the film a 7/10 because that's how much I enjoyed watching it. Shouldn't a movie be enjoyable, after all? Bad special effects don't make a movie bad. In this film's case, it works entirely to its advantage. Cheers. :)

Minimalism to the brilliant limit!!

[Ton_O · 9/10 · 6 June 2008]

There are a lot of low-budget horror movies that try to follow the strange and unwritten rules of cinema that state that some linear storytelling should be what a film evolves around. Most of the entries to the genre, especially when zombies are involved, also try to throw in a fair share of social comments by use of metaphors. Only very few directors are talented enough to actually make that work, and not everybody can be as genial as Lloyd Kaufman of George A. Romero. And here we come to what makes POT ZOMBIES such a unique and highly entertaining new film: it doesn't do all that. It doesn't follow all those rules. It doesn't follow any rule. It has no plot, not much of a story, no metaphors whatsoever. It follows a loosely connected chain of people who smoke radioactively contaminated weed until they turn into flesh-eating zombies because of it and then make their first victim. And director Justin Powers does this so magnificently well that the entire 90 minutes of the film feel like a roller coaster ride of fantastically gory scenes that only leave the viewer hungry for more. A beautiful female smoker-turned-zombie is a huge teaser as we never see her actually get into flesh eating action, so all I wanted after the film had ended was a sequel. The good news is that it is already in production! Better still: it will have Nicola Fiore in it! I can't wait! This first entry in Troma's MAKE YOUR OWN DAMN MOVIE: YOUNG FILMMAKERS SERIES is a winner, and everyone who loves good movies that are made for the right reasons will definitely want to see this series go on for a very long time.

Hey it delivers what it promises - you get your pot, you get your zombies, ya slap 'em together you got Pot Zombies - Bam!!

[Foreverisacastironmess123 · 7/10 · 20 August 2017]

I surprisingly rather liked this ultra cheap horror comedy in which some very stereotypical stoners smoke toxic pot that transforms them into glowing-eyed zombies as green as the Incredible Hulk and gives them a killer case of the munchies! It just made me laugh and brightened up my night and I thought it was a very cute little effort. I think people have been way overly-hard on it, as to me it was one of the more genuine enjoyably-terrible horror movies that I've seen lately, and compared to a lot of the legions of indie zombie flicks out there that I've seen it was definitely a fun one, and there are some real nightmare endurance test excuses for movies in the bottom of that rusty old fish bucket let me tell you! I find it such an inane and stupid criticism to say that the problem with the movie is..that it's trying? What's worse, a lazy zero effort B-movie that you find yourself really hating and grinding your teeth over as you're ceaselessly bored by it, or one that at least tries to make you laugh and puts a little energy into its bad acting? Of course it was bad, and cheap as f*ck, and the acting was awful, no question there, but I still liked it and got a kick out of those actors, I found their enthusiastic lack of style was what really made me take to the movie, because it was so hilariously sh*tty! Hell yeah they were trying, and for me to an extent it was working. I think it boils down to that, because they were having fun with it, in this instance so was I, you don't always get that with these kinds of movies at all. I liked how ridiculous the loose collection of scenes that made up the 'plot' were, as well as the laughable gore effects, and especially the heavy metal music that kicked in whenever the zombies attacked, the big scene where the rock band smokes the tainted pot right before a gig and consequently starts eating the audience was great, they should have made that the movie's ending! I just really dug what this flick was trying to be about, it was so earnestly dumb, crazy and fun that it kept my interest and didn't have me looking at the clock, I didn't feel I was wasting time on it, a truly rotten bad movie isn't one that can keep the viewer so consistently amused with it, I found that it hit the rare sweet spot between where the intentionally bad is fun instead of just irritating. I enjoyed it quite a bit for what it was, but admittedly for most people this is one bad joint they may wish to pass on to somebody else... Later! X
