Zombies Gone Wild tricked me. It's not the first time and it won't be the last. I picked up the DVD at Best Buy because it had cool cover art and had the Cohen Brothers names proudly displayed on it. Boy, do I feel like an idiot.
This movie is flat out terrible. And coming from me, that's saying a lot. I love B movies. I hardly watch anything else. But this movie, kiddies, is a D movie. It's right up there with Jack O'Lantern as the worst straight to DVD film I've ever seen.
For starters, it has the same video quality as your average wedding video. The lighting is terrible and the sound is worse. These people aren't actors, either. It's three guys with a camera and a van and a bunch of people they likely found by walking up to them on the streets and saying "Hey, would you like to be in a movie?" There's really no plot to speak of and the movie essentially meanders aimlessly for the first hour. At about the 40 minute mark, I actually started watching the movie in fast forward, praying that something interesting would happen. It never did.
What's worse is these guys are trying to be funny. But what they think is "funny" is essentially a series of poorly executed poop and fart jokes that fail to illicit a single chuckle throughout. I guess they were trying to make a horror comedy, but unfortunately there's no horror OR comedy to be found in this film.
A friend asked me to sum up my feelings on this movie and this is the best I could come up with: "If you gave a video camera and a $1000.00 budget to a mentally challenged 3rd grader, you'd probably get something more watchable." I gave this movie 1 out of 10 stars...primarily because the site won't let me give it 0 out of 10.
Avoid this movie like the plague...unless you want to own a $12.00 beer coaster/shaving mirror.
