Sadly Over-hyped

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

What an extraordinary film – part autobiography, part "last man on earth." Who wouldn't want their last recorded video to be in part a tribute to their life? The premise that power & internet continue to function post-apocalypse makes for so many interesting possibilities film-wise. Perth was a great choice of location - it had never occurred to me Perth is the most isolated capital city in the world. And selecting a brush-cutter as weapon of choice was brilliant. The zombie hordes were plausibly carried out – clearly a nod to the 1948 film The Boy with Green Hair. Possibly also paying homage to Rhinoceros (1974) based on the Eugene Ionesco play. The only disappointment for me was the ending - could have been happy, could have been sad, could have been heroic, could have been tragic - but I guess the money simply ran out. Hard to believe the budget was only $10k. What could they do with more cash??

This movie was hilarious! I went to this movie solely to support the writer and had no idea what to expect. I was expecting a cheesy, low-budget zombie movie (yuck!), and instead spent the entire time laughing my head off.Great movie which was, refreshingly, different and really really bizarre. What a treat to watch a movie that was done locally and on a (very) small budget and still deliver high-quality entertainment. What a coup to gather so many extras together without big salaries! I'm expecting this to join the ranks of the cult classic. well done Bish.

Low budget, low morals and definitely low-brow. I loved every minute, especially the minutes of confusion."I am Bish" tricks you into liking it despite and perhaps because of it's audacity and perfection in calling itself a movie. Director Bish is even likable as a character in a movie he makes. The film nods to Quentin Tarantino's own love of time shifting and self awareness in Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. For the MTV generation and beyond who have short attention spans due to growing up on Sesame Street, music videos and game consoles, the jumpy narrative jumping between scenes means you don't really get to relax. As would happen at the end of the world. Or watching a guy making a student film suddenly have to explain the end of the world. While making a student film.The support characters, of which there aren't too many, give great performances. Bish's love interest Sarah is perfect as the arty hot chick that's good looking yet awkward and lovable. Kinda like a real life version of The Fifth Element - being imperfect is her perfection. I thought it was a shame she wasn't in more of the film. Well, there's a lot I thought while watching (including: What am i watching? and 'I love this guy!'). At one point I was having too much fun to realise this was billed as a zombie film. LOL? I hurt my sides.At the turn of the decade, we now see movies made to look low budget that simply aren't. In world where low budget means a few million bucks, it's good to see something enjoyable and 'old school'.I am Bish washes over you and gives you that happy feeling when you see someone get away with pulling the finger in name of art. Duchamp would have been proud.World class Australian humour at it's very best.

I had the distinct pleasure of seeing this film at the premiere screening. I wasn't sure what to expect of the final edit but I knew it would be a whole lot of fun and I certainly wasn't disappointed! I rate Dave Bishop's film making right up there with Kevin Smith & Mr. Ed Wood who's movies I have loved from an early age. This movie is set up to look like a student film so it's meant to be bad but that's what makes it so damn good. The 'zombies' are definitely laughable but no more so than some I've seen in recent big budget blockbusters. Now, some reviews (if you can call a scathing personal attack on the actors a 'review') may lead you to believe that this movie is really not worth seeing but I personally would recommend it to anyone with a sense of humour. The 'Star Wars' references and low brow jokes had me laughing so hard I missed what happened next in a few places and I can't wait for the DVD release so I can pause it to catch my breath. Do yourself and the Aussie film industry a favour and see this movie at the first opportunity!
