This is a low budget zombie/slasher film, shot at night...most likely in one night. The film opens up with promise as Mike shares a few lines of coke with his bodacious lady friend AFTER they had sex. People become fast moving flesh eating zombies after listening to a particular death metal song. The leader of the zombies is a slasher in a Nixon mask apparently borrowed from another film ("Horror House on Highway Five", "The Tripper"). He has more lives than Jason.

After a concert...you know the rest. There should have been a prequel to this film showing the slasher, years earlier. We really didn't care who was behind the mask because there was no character introduction. Besides there was only one guy big enough in the film to have been him anyway. The film needed to take time to develop character and a plot. The scenes grew boring as they tended to be long drawn out images of people on a computer, or people riding in a car, or simply a chase scene by people with limited zombie make-up.

There was a guy in a Mr. Bungle t-shirt, as this film seemed to have been made for band promotion. There are some attempts at crude humor such as when the cop says he likes his women like his scotch: "17 years old and mixed with coke." Seriously, who mixes 17 year old scotch with coke? Not in my house.

The film was written, directed, acted (Tony), produced, edited, special effects, camera operator, theme music composed by Todd Jason Cook.

PARENTAL GUIDE: Blood, guts, f-bomb, nudity (thanks Alexia Roy) no sex.

Zombiefied is a low-budget horror film that combines the Zombie genre with your run-of-the-brink Slasher flick. Overall, this movie is very amateur; the low budget is quite noticeable, the effects are cheap and the acting is well... amateur. That being said the film still manages to deliver a decent storyline about a heavy metal track that turns listeners into zombies. In addition to zombies, a psychotic killer in a Richard Nixon mask is taking people out one by one and is mysteriously able to control the zombies. In the end the connections are all explained pretty well. Despite the lack of acting talent the characters are fairly likable and viewers will not have to deal with annoying overacting that often ruins other zombie movies. While the effects are cheap there are a lot of gore scenes that are well done and it offers a unique twist of curing the infected into their fully competent human state. Waking up from that sounds worse than any hangover I can think of. This is a good film to seek out if you're actually thinking of making a horror movie because it's a pretty good example of how to pull off a decent horror flick without much of a budget.
