... View MoreIt's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
... View MoreThis is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
... View MoreThis is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
... View MoreI only write reviews of movies with low rating, which actually are not that bad. Give them a chance!First of all, you need to understand that this movie is a comedy and even a parody in some parts. So you can't take it 100% seriously. Knowing that, you can certainly enjoy it because it is very funny. There is not a single part for which I can say is bad. You can only say that the story is not original, but since it is a zombie adventure... what can you expect? I love movies about apocalypse and that is the reason why I wanted to watch this one - I don't regret it at all.6.5/10
... View MoreStory: We follow two brothers, two gangster friends, a beautiful female police officer and a shady business man as they try to escape Amsterdam after a zombie outbreak. We see how one wants to save a love interest from a seemingly impossible situation, while greed takes over others. We see how the group puts together of mostly idiots have to try and find weapons to survive and achieve their goals by escaping the danger. Simply put this is a crazy film, it makes fun of nearly every zombie film stereotype and is filled with plenty of over the top zombie kills. What makes these kills memorable is that they seem to come from the most random objects including bowling balls, tennis ball gun and giant mallet with many more. This is hugely enjoyable if not barmy storyline that you will remember and continue laughing after it has finished. (7/10)Actor ReviewYahya Gaier: Aziz stuck in a dead end job before getting fired, he gets a call from the girl of his dreams and wants to save her during the zombie outbreak. Good performance playing the unlikely hero in the zombie outbreak. (7/10)Mimoun Ouled Radi: Mo loud mouth party animal who always comes up with half-baked ideas to get rich quick, leaving his brother Aziz to clean up the mess. Good performance as the loud annoying character who tries to talk his way out of everything. (7/10)Gigi Ravelli: Kim police officer who tries to lead the four bumbling fools across Amsterdam to the safe zone. She is all action and won't leave anyone behind. Good performance from Gigi, adding some much needed beauty to the film. (7/10)Sergio Hasselbaink: Jeffrey the first of the two gangsters, this one likes to us big weapons to try and stop the zombies but he finds out his tennis ball shooter isn't the best choice. Good performance who gets a lot of the laughs. (7/10)Uriah Arnhem: Nolan the big fella gangster who gets his hand stuck in a bowling ball which turns into a solid weapon for him. Good performance and easily the funniest character in the film. (7/10)Director Review: Martijn Smits, Erwin van den Eshof – Good direction to create a funny horror comedy that you actually want to see who makes it too.

... View MoreAnything that just remotely smells like zombie and I will watch it. And I happened to fall over "Zombibi" (or "Kill Zombie!" as it was oddly enough labeled on the DVD cover) on Amazon and had to put my decaying fingers on it. And with good reason, because "Zombibi" turned out to be quite good and loads of fun actually.Mind you that this is a Dutch movie, but you shouldn't be discouraged by that fact. The zombies don't seem to mind, why should you? A satellite crashes in downtown Amsterdam, bringing with it some kind of unidentified green slime which turns people into raging zombies with a hunger for flesh. Aziz who has just been fired from his work end up in prison with his brother and two other criminals when havoc falls upon Amsterdam from outer space. Waking up the next morning, the entire city is turned upside down. Amidst the chaos, Aziz gets a distress call from the woman he fancies, and he have to head back to his former workplace to save her, but the road there is perilous and full of obstacles."Zombibi" is fast paced and has a marvelous mix of comedy and horror put together and it works out quite well. Sure, it is not "Shaun of the Dead" material, but still, it is quite good. The movie will have you laughing and cheering, and for us zombie fans, there will be some nice enough gore moments too.The characters in "Zombibi" are so stereotypical that it just makes you laugh because it is so outrageous. And it works out well that it is done this way, bringing some self-irony to the movie. And the people they cast for the roles were doing great jobs. I have only seen one or two other Dutch movies prior to this one, so I can't claim to be familiar with anyone in the movie, so all new faces that have no prior roles attached to them was quite good.I can warmly recommend "Zombibi" to you, especially if you like zombie movies that is spiced up with comedy. It is a good jab at the zombie genre to come out of the Netherlands.
... View MoreI have to start to say that I really liked this film.It had its typical slash and gore, its "we gotta save the girl from her hopeless position" and over the top action and comedy.But being a Dutchy I especially enjoyed seeing the well known Dutch actors, rappers and TV celebrities.I can think that seeing this film as a non Dutch You wont think its that special. But try to imagine this same film but with a good selection of your countries own actors, singers and TV celebrities.For example, try to imagine this film with (f.e.)50 cents, Jennifer Anniston, Denzel Washington, David Letterman and so on.Since this is an international movie database I gave this film a 7 out of 10, otherwise it would have been a sure 8! So, zombieflick lovers. Get your subtitles and see this great Dutch zombiefilm!
