... View MoreMax (Stephen McHattie) and Penelope (TV star Emilie Ullerup) are zombie hunters. They use a directional orb which detects the presence of the undead. Meanwhile two couples are spending a pre-wedding vacation in a cabin. Steve (Kristopher Turner) is an HR rep, a nice guy with a touch of geek. He is going to marry Tina, (Crystal Lowe) a character which reminded me of a flaky Samantha Bee from "The Daily Show." Steve's sister Sarah (Kristen Hager) is going to be the matron of honor. The two women do not get along. Sarah's husband Craig (Shawn Roberts), a down to earth guy, rounds out the foursome.If you look at the cover and read the title you can surmise Steve becomes a zombie, but not a complete zombie. He is a "resistive host" but still craves human brains.The film is more of a comedy with a zombie background. George Buza played his minor role well. The film was fun to watch as the two couples attempt to get along when Steve becomes an issue. "Family takes care of family."Parental Guide: F-bomb. C-word. No sex or nudity. Adult talk. Cat fight.
... View MoreMy expectations for this were less than zero. The truth is 99.9% of low budget horror and/or comedy films of the last 20 years have been utter crap that is a waste of time to watch. Still I try them out, hoping to find that occasional 0.1% that's worth it. A Little Bit Zombie is not a great film or even a particularly good one. The jokes are stale and the fx are mediocre. But it does have a good cast, some decent direction, and an enjoyably upbeat tone throughout.Kristopher Turner is the lead and he's probably the weakest actor in the cast. His mugging and rubberfacing shows his limitations as a comedian. However the rest of the cast picks up the slack and makes the most of weak material. Stephen McHattie and Emilie Ullerup are good fun as a pair of zombie hunters. McHattie seems like he's having a great time with the role. Kristen Hager and Captain Steroids...I mean Shawn Roberts...are good as the sister and best friend. Crystal Lowe is the bride-to-be and she was probably the most enjoyable part of the movie for me. I always try out any movie she's in, no matter the low budgetness, and am rarely disappointed in her performance.All in all, it's worth a gander but still a limited, though pleasant, film to watch.
... View MoreI do not want to summarize the story - other reviewers did that already.After the massive wave of zombie movies, especially during the last 9 years, it is hard to find one with an original idea. 'A Little Bit Zombie' comes up with a fresh idea, disguised as a wonderful campy 1980s horror comedy B movie. What we get here is some sort of 'National Lampoon's Zombie Vacation' - the same kind of humor, only much darker. Just compare the old National Lampoon's movie posters with this one.The characters are over the top and as much fun as hilarious cartoon characters, especially Stephen McHattie.Bottom line: If you like zombie movies and comedies from the 80s, you will love 'A Little Bit Zombie' for sure.
... View MoreI am so disappointed. I was really looking forward to this having heard of the concept and read some reviews comparing this film to Shaun of the Dead.Let's be clear. This is nowhere near being on par with Shaun.The film starts relatively promisingly and gradually deteriorates into a mindless, over- acted, unintelligent farce.The blond girl with the glasses and crystal ball is by far the most irritating character I have ever seen on screen and is an awful "actress".Any funny scenes are ruined by poor timing and delivery.The dialogue at points makes no sense whatsoever and it seems the actors are reading from two different scripts.It appears a "Space" channel movie has slipped passed the net and made itself almost into the mainstream. I was massively disappointed as it was a missed chance to show Hollywood what Canadian cinema is capable.You'd be pretty much better off spending your time doing anything else rather than watching this film.On top of this, the music is also over-the-top and ends up being very distracting.
