From my favorite movies..

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

From the get-go...don't expect an award winner; but you can expect to be laughing out loud. This horror/comedy was written by Chuck Hartsell, who also stars and shares direction credit with Chance Shirley. Not to offend, but some say that HIDE and CREEP requires a redneck sense of humor. Nonetheless, you will be entertained. A small town down south is caught in a frenzy when it is visited by a UFO at the same time zombies come looking for a bite. Related or coincidental; who knows. A government agent drops in by parachute to investigate the UFO sighting and finds zombies popping out the ground at the cemetery. Of course he is killed and a zombie virus spreads. Three hunting buddies end up defending their hunting club and discover you can only kill the zombies with a head shot. Meanwhile an unlucky guy wakes up in the graveyard naked after being abducted by aliens. All of this weirdness continues with the local preacher fighting off a zombie, only to be bitten before killing it. In another part of town a man goes into a strip club only to find that the strippers have already got the zombie virus and chase him out...but they are afraid of the dark. Back at the church the preacher begs for forgiveness for killing the zombie and then blows his own brains out. You just have to see this for your own bad self. My favorite sequence is a customer chiding a waitress because the cafe only sells Pepsi...no Coke.It seems like a group of buds down in Birmingham, Alabama decided to make a movie and damn if they didn't. Credited in the cast: Kyle Holman, Eric McGinty, Michael Shelton, Melissa Bush, Lael Boyd and Chris Hartsell. So bad it is good!

I love comedy mixed with horror/drama movies, such as Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness, Dr. Strangelove, Love and a .45, etc. But this movie ....... SUCKED!!! I got my poor wife excited into watching a great, funny horror movie, "Better than Shaun of the Dead," which we loved, and after 45 minutes she got up and quietly walked away and left me to watch it alone. I just fast forwarded it and didn't even bother watching the accompanying short movie.I feel like finding out who the reviewer on the CD cover was that said it's "Better than Shaun of the Dead." That's the reason I rented it. I want to tell him that he's an idiot.

Any good review of this film was done by someone that had a stake in the movie. This waste of time is supposed to be an amusing spoof on low budget zombie movies. The rationale given by the makers of this crap fest was "that's why the make-up is so bad, it's funny!" NO IT'S NOT! It's just plain dumb! The DVD cover said "better than Shaun of the dead." NO IT'S NOT! Not even close! Shaun was a spoof and a well done one. Hide and Creep actually justifies censorship and book burning (in this case,script burning if it had a script). I actually got my money back from Hollywood video for this waste of 4 bucks. I would've enjoyed flushing the money down the toilet more than spending it on Hide and Creep...an utterly talentless, stupid and unfunny imposition on my time.

Sigh. How can zombies ever get respect when losers like Bruno Mattei and morons who get their hands on cameras make crap like this. I thought The Undead was stupid and bad, this is worse. Quite possibly the worst actually since Day of the Dead:Contagium and Zombie Night are right down there in the sewer with this worthless piece of garbage. Oh, did I mention I ABSOLUTELY HATED THIS? No decent acting, a stupid story, terrible camera work. I mean, a blind Ed Wood with a lobotomy would have done a more coherent job! This was just so lame. How do these people get the funding to make these craporama's when there have to be more talented filmmakers out there who can't even get a foot in the door? Amazing. Just a terrible, no-budget film with not an original idea in sight. Sigh... poor zombies. Perhaps one day someone other than George Romero and Jorge Grau will make a decent zombie movie. (And Alejandro De Ossorio).
