It's really sad, because the box promises so much. But, even for a low-budget production, as this clearly is, expecting actors to be able to act shouldn't be too much to ask.
It started off poor, and aside from a few grins now and again, just declined steadily from then on.
The effects are shoddy, even for a low budget. Pasty plastic glued to a mans face to make him look like a corpse, loses any shred of conviction when his hands are all fleshy and tan.
The acting is mediocre when it's at its very best, which it usually isn't. None of the characters are convincing, or even likable. The zombie kid, who couldn't stop laughing for the 3 second durations of shot, didn't help.
The violence is inconsistent. I don't mind bloody murder - it's a zombie-flick after all. But a zombie-punt goes from funny, to ridiculous, to just too much when they keep pounding for 30 seconds. And really, how hard do you have to strike someone - even a living dead - over the head with a golf club, to completely sever the top of their skull?
The music --- Well, better not to mention the music.
And the story. Well, it's a zombie movie, riddled with clichés, which in itself is fine - had they only been well executed.
And finally.. Seriously.. Fart jokes? One or two would've been okay. One or two for every 5 minutes of film, though?
In conclusion, just don't bother. Rewatch "Shaun of the Dead" or "Zombieland" instead.
