One Night (2016)
Candid, Charming and Quirky
Candid, charming and quirky is the simplest way to describe 1Night. I was left impressed with the talent of the cast and the relatable topics portrayed in this film. Though I've always been a fan of romantic films, it has given me a new-found respect due to the depth and the contrast between the stories of the couples. This romantic drama follows two couples who share one night together, and have very different experiences. The young couple, Bea (Isabelle Fuhrman) and Andy (Kyle Allen), are exploring what it takes to make a relationship, while the older couple, Elizabeth (Anna Camp) and Drew (Justin Chatwin), try to discover what it takes to make a relationship last. Camp and Chatwin's performances stood out the most to me. Though I am always impressed with their performances they brought something new that I haven't seen before. Camp proves that she can go deeper than singing covers of songs like in Pitch Perfect and Chatwin shows that he is more than just a disposable character like in Shameless. The film keeps you entertained till the end and gives an unexpected plot twist that makes it unlike most romantic dramas.
Attack of the Lederhosen Zombies (2016)
A great horror/comedy fusion
How often have you really seen comedy and horror work well together? Probably not too often but "Attack of the Lederhosen Zombies" does a great job at fusing these two categories. This lighthearted, zombie filled film brings together every aspect of horror films and comedies to make it enjoyable for everyone to watch.
When three teens are stranded on the Austrian Alps during a snowboarding trip, you don't think many bad things could happen. But add a science experiment gone wrong, and a mountain full of zombies to the equation and then you have real mayhem. Luckily, the humor throughout keeps the spirits high and hopeful for an escape from this hellish location.
The script has cleverly written jokes that kept me laughing and a self-aware cast that notably mentions they are in some type of "zombie movie" to the audience. I noticed an 80's vibe present that also helps to give off a quirky feel.
But not to worry for all the horror lovers. There is an intense fight scene between the zombies and snowboarders that still had me hiding my eyes (mostly because I'm squeamish). If you can think of any way to kill a zombie with a snowboard, it is done in this movie and probably more. Whether there is a head being cut off or in half, a body severed, or a zombie being shot to death you will have enough gore to last you a lifetime. Basically, the special effects did not disappoint and the makeup helps make some of the most realistic looking zombies.
This ZomCom is a great flick that I really enjoyed. It is perfect for a movie night and deserving of any comedy or zombie lovers time. This spoofy film does not disappoint and should be added to everyone's movie watch list.
