Wonderful character development!

... View MoreElliott Gould scraping rock bottom. TV news-anchor sees something suspicious going down in the parking garage and, having been encouraged to start livening up his news report, follows the men upstairs, where he encounters a drug-smuggling ring. Slapstick comedy with voodoo and TV news satire, both gratingly broad. Very sloppily made, with poor writing and directing (both by Malcolm Marmorstein), a gloppy production and hammy supporting performances. Gould's deadpan charm has been heightened to ill effect (he comes off like a schnook), while Melissa Anderson as his co-host looks attractive but is never given the chance to create a character. Amateur night in Zombie Land. NO STARS from ****
... View MoreThis film is so off the wall it has to be a comedy classic. Elliot Gould was fantastic as the Zombie, (remember him in such classics as Capricorn One?). It does remind me of a B-Movie, daft but highly enjoyable.Can't help wondering if it influenced "Anchorman" (Ted Burgundy. But perhaps not.The rest of the cast look familiar and perhaps have appeared in other American films/TV productions, but Eliott Gould appears to be the only Famous face, (albeit in heavy white foundation to compliment his "undead" Zombie persona). If you get the opportunity to see this film give it a go, the surreal humour will not disappoint.Can't help thinking David Cameron would make a good Zombie, hang on I thought he was already!!!)
... View MoreI am amused at other reviewers taking this film seriously and completely ignoring the fact that this is classic trash/black humor film. It is so trashy that it is funny as hell (Especially the Pacadena scene). The famous protagonist artist also makes wonderful job, and it is amazing that he was out-of-the-box enough to be engaged in this extraordinary (I mean, yes, literally) film. If you want/expect to see a horror movie, then do not watch it. If you want to see romantic comedy, then do not watch it. If you want to see philosophical, intellectual comedy, then do not watch it. This film is only trash black humor (though it has some elements of social satire. Not more, but not less.
... View MoreDuring the first minutes you think that this movie is terrible, and Gould must have gotten himself into something really bad- but from the moment on he becomes a zombie it's certainly one of the funniest flicks in history, IMHO. I would give him a 7 to 8 out of 10, but it's impossible to rate such a film with anything else than "awful" or "excellent". You will hate it, if you expect blood and gore. You will hate it, if you expect realism or a reasonable storyline. You will hate it, if you hate Voodoo/hoodoo-clichés or Eliott Gould stumbling around and uttering silly sounds. But if you don't hate it, you'll love it. Just as I do.
