Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.
... View MoreEach character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
... View MoreThis is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
... View MoreJust intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
... View MoreThe plot: Four friends go on a hunting trip in Texas, only to run up against Chupacabra zombies.Well, there isn't a lot to say about this film. It's pretty stupid, but I was still amused by some of the scenes. Much of the humor depends on your being an immature, easily amused film nerd. If that's you, then you might like it, too. Just be aware that it's not really action-packed or fast-moving. Despite the bizarre premise, it's not really the most original horror-comedy ever made. It clumsily adopts and mocks every cliché the writers could think of, though not on a terribly intellectual level. It's quite inhibited compared to Troma's sheer insanity and gleeful offensiveness, but there's definitely a bit of inspiration from that infamous studio.Normally, my tolerance level for these films is quite low, but this one had just enough stupidly amusing scenes that I stuck it out. Also, I liked the end credits song. If you like this sort of nonsense, then I suggest you check out DeadHeads, another recent zombie comedy that was similar in some ways.
... View More"Buckwild" is a very typical B-movie in the zombie genre. Occasionally I enjoy a B-movie but in "Buck Wild" everything is really missing to make it an enjoyable film. It's trying hard to be funny, but nowhere I encountered a comic section. Additionally, it wants to be a horror, but tension and gore scenes fail. That doesn't lead to the desired result also. Eventually I was watching this movie fairly uninterested and kept watching just out of curiosity to see how this meaningless movie would end.Four friends go on a weekend somewhere in a godforsaken rear corner of America to hunt deer. Craig (Matthew Albrecht) is the naive dorky idiot who is organizing the weekend. As gullible as he is, he did not even know his girlfriend is at home going from one party to another and also has an affair with Lance, who is also part of the group. Lance is an incredible narcissist and an inveterate womanizer. Tom is the petty whiner of the company. A real coward and hygiene freak. He's such a wimp that sleeps in the evening with eye patches on and in the morning uses a face mask and cucumbers on his eyes. Jerry is the tough macho who goes outside in the morning and does his Oriental exercises completely naked. You immediately understand that these four individuals should ensure funny situations because of the chemistry between them. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Its a complete failure on this part and the humor feels utterly forced and unnatural. It looked like a " Porky's " episode .In the Redneck town they run into Billy Ray, the "Badass" of the village as he calls himself. A real fag who speaks with a posh English accent while a boa is draped around his neck. How do they come up with such an idea ? He's also surrounded by a gang of morons. If you would sum those clodhoppers their IQ, you won't get to the level of a typical toddler. Eventually, they got rid of this gang of idlers by the local sheriff who looks like someone from "The Dukes of Hazzard". Arriving at the weekend house, they meet the owner Clyde , a fairly ugly peasant and irascible, and his daughter Candy, a lascivious well-formed country girl who likes to please the male part of the population a lot. What they don't know is that Clyde was recently bitten by a chupacabra . What this ultimately is and where it comes from, you'll never know . Suddenly it was there . And suddenly it's gone. No sensible explanation about that at all.You can already guess what the immediate consequences will be. Before you know it, the whole population of the town is affected by this strange, unknown disease, and the four friends are suddenly on a bizarre survival weekend. Jerry suddenly shows that he's master in survival techniques and an expert in the field of zombies. There are several zombie comedies made in the past and this one really brings nothing new. The only funny moment was the alternative use of a frozen fish and the influence a space cake has on a zombie. For the rest there is just a bit of splashing with blood ,which is implemented in an amateurish way, and a horde of zombies who stumble across the screen. At times they even used a sophisticated way to bring that into view: they just filmed it a bit faster.Towards the end, it really didn't matter to me who would survive this chaos. They started to get on my nerves in such a way that they didn't deserve to survive this tidal wave of zombies. "Buck Wild" is really a low-budget film and I have to hand it to them however, they didn't even tried to hide it. Ultimately, it is only a "not to be taken seriously" zombie movie where the main objective is to mix atrocities with airy black humor. Unfortunately, the two categories were not sufficiently developed: a shortage of bloody situations and a total lack of humor.More reviews at http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.be/
... View MoreFirstoff let me warn all you smart and beautiful people out there to please turn off your brains, its not that deep of a film. Second please remember this is a Texas film so take pride in that, if your from Texas. Thirdly please have a nice and comfortable seat with some hot cheddar cheese popcorn and some ice cold cherry coke while barring witness to this piece of Hollywood horror gold!I dare you not to enjoy it, there is way to much funny, action, horror, sex, drugs,funny, and more action with a little chupacabra in it. Do you know any other zombie shows that have a chupakabra in it. No? Then shut the hell up and watch this greatness of acting, screen-writing, and directing of a future Texas legendary film maker that goes by the name Of Big Chief Johnny Tyler Glodyt. Oh and by the way Meg Cioni, Joe Chaneck, Jason Harris, Whit Albreckt and the ever Big thick bear loving Chance Murphey are really smoking hot in this movie, Maybe they should make another one? Maybe(fingers crossed chanting satanic prayers). Matt Albreckt is a very funny and sexy Lead, Dru is adorably Buff closet case Gay man, Jarod has a kung-fu penis, Isac rocks, Mark Leslie Ford is a Legendary comedic genius. Joe Stephens looks amazing in everything he does. Awesome setup, Texas Is a great location for anything, The Quality of this film is better than Pixar and Dream works combined. Great extras for a zombie hoard army, great town. This film is the begging of a beautiful franchise. Its like a funny walking dead pl watch, and leave Ur brains at the door.
... View More4 of 10. As slow as zombies are, this film is slower. It takes a long time for the story to kick in. At the beginning, everything seems artificial, concocted. If you skip the first 5-10 minutes, or maybe just watch the prelude than skip to the part with the guy spitting, the film as a whole might be worth a curiosity watch.It tries to be a zombie gross-out comedy, but it generally ends up spanking itself. If you can stand the thought of watching the equivalent of a made-for-TV goofy, non-scary, simply gross zombie film, you'll probably still end up biting your arm off if stuck in a theater with this. Zombie fans can safely wait for the TV release and may simply want to avoid in order to stay zombie fans.
