My Review Of 'Bunkheads'
ASouthernHorrorFan12 July 2019
Bunkheads' is a classic situation comedy series that aims for short bursts of quick witted humor and cheeky banter. It doesn't hit new ground but for a webseries with budget restraints, the series manages to be fun.

There isn't a lot of time for full character development, but in the short episodes, about 12 minutes each, there is more than enough to make a connection with audiences. At times the fast paced back-n-forth feels clunky and some punchlines fall flat, but not to a level that hurts the overall entertainment of the series.

'Bunkheads' stays more comedy than horror. Most of the zombie portion of the story line stays subjective. Happening above the offbeat , somewhat mental survivors. There are a few quick moments with zombies, body parts, but for the most part the series is straight up shtick. It is worth checking out, It sits somewhere between the one where Adam Green is hard for Dee Snider, and the one with the haunted room for rent. Don't know there names, don't feel like googling.

Quick and fun

Warning: Spoilers
Created by Will Gong, directed by Lauren Klixbull and produced by Gabriel Reiter, Bunkheads is a self-distributed short-form series starring Josh Covitt (The Mindy Project), Carly Turro (Homeland), Khalif Boyd (Criminal Minds), and Chris O'Brien (Rosewood) as roommates who are forced to live together in a bunker during a zombie apocalypse.

This random group includes Dani the actress, Cash the computer nerd who loves to work out, Matt the elementary teacher who tries to hold everyone together and Kip, an immature wannabe rapper. While trapped in the cramped quarters of a now-deceased Korean millionaire, the Bunkheads live on canned food and try not to drive one another crazy.

Will they get rescued? Is there anyone else still alive? Will they kill one another before the zombies get them? All of these questions - and more - will be answered.

There are only six episodes, but they pass by quickly and are pretty amusing. While no second season has been announced, I'd love to see where the story goes next. It was plenty of fun and moves so fast that the entire season is over before you realize it.

Hit and Miss
nphillips-8824916 August 2019
This comedic spin on surviving the zombie apocalypse has a few likable characters and some funny moments, but one of the four main characters, Kip, is irritating and really doesn't have any redeeming qualities. It's hard to get hooked because the overall plot really doesn't seem to matter much. If you like tongue-in-cheek humor then you should give it a try; but, there are just too many tv show options to commit to this one.
