disgusting, overrated, pointless

Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

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

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Right, well anyone who knows me or have been tracking my review history knows that I am a big zombie afficianado. And anything even remotely zombiesque is something I have to bite into - pardon the pun.So when I stumbled upon the 2017 zombie movie titled "Zombies" - how original, I know - and starring iconic horror actor Tony Todd - whom was also in the re-make of "Night of the Living Dead" and in movies such as "Candyman" - then of course I had to sit down and watch "Zombies".Well, let me just be bluntly honest and say that this was a stereotypical zombie story in every aspect of the genre."Zombies" had some adequate acting performance. They did actually have gotten together a good cast ensemble to perform in the movie.They made use of a mixture of good make-up and special effects, which worked out well enough. But they also made use of horrible gray painted faces with little else, and no. Are you kidding me? That kind of horrible low budget zombie make-up doesn't pass in 2017.It should be said that "Zombies" does indeed have a very alternative ending and take on a zombie outbreak.

... he will undoubtedly be looking to kick his son in the balls for ever allowing the great film making name of Romero to be attached to this fiasco of a film.First of all, I offer my sympathies to the currently living Tony Todd and wonder, "how dead is his career that he actually took a role in this?" While Todd delivers the only credible performance in this festering cesspool of bad acting/actors it shouldn't be the "selling point" as he seems to be doing his own 'zombie walk' of sorts, even though his role is that of a living survivor.Todd is no 'Brando' by any stretch, but generally his performances are credible and suitable to the role, as well as effective to the story. In this case his role is minimal (mainly in the opening scene(s) and his delivery pretty much falters from the start and just nosedives by the end of the movie. I think anyone/everyone would see that his presence and name (much like the aforementioned producers namesake) is here to sell the film to fans. My advise would be "don't buy it and even if it's sent to you for free, send it back and demand a refund!" Clearly the budget for auditions was in the double digits, but fortunately (for no one, including himself) fellow producer Stephen Luke offered his "talents" (and yes, this is a complete bastardization of the definition of that word) as the main lead. When the beautiful Raina Hein (2010 America's Next Top Model finalist) is finally introduced it gives little relief to anything other than the aesthetics. Still, I can't help wonder; with Hollywood's increasing obsession in making practically every female character in every show/film, no matter the genre, into some invincible super heroin, maybe Hein would've/could've been more convincing as the lead and carried the overall movie a little better? At the very least a little gratuitous nudity might have kept it from completely falling into (figuratively speaking) a shallow grave.On the more positive side, Todd Vance (as Bena's dad) delivers the only performance, in one single particular scene, that might give viewers a chuckle. Yes, a single chuckle. Lastly, fight sequences towards the end seem over choreographed at times, but I've seen worse.Directing, dialogue, writing and plot (along with subsequent "plot twist") are all as the Brits would say, "complete and utter rubbish." Uninspired, unimaginative and just plain lazy.I honestly think I would've had a better time digging a hole in my backyard, then having someone bury me alive (don't try this at home kids) and video record me digging my way out, then watching that over and over and over again, than watching a single viewing of this dreadful, undead filled flop.If zombie fans want excitement I'd suggest going to an open casket wake and standing over the body for a time slightly more than the acceptable limit for a complete stranger. It's certain to deliver a better bloodrush than this movie; which will likely only cause rigor mortis... and not in a good way either.

Bad acting, effects zero, boring, flat atmosphere, watched only 15 minutes couldn't stand it anymore, anyone who says to you to watch this movie is more brain dead than zombies.. Line 4................................ Line 5................................

This really is the tic-tak-toe of the zombie movie board game arena. It's really Syfy channel standard stuff... well actually its not quite that level and really needs to go up a notch to achieve that acclaim. The major failing here is the script which is corny, stilted and hackneyed. Even Tony Todd can't deliver the lines convincingly and struggles with the dialogue throughout, as does everyone else. I wonder what must have been going through his head while he was performing this one.The plot is almost as bad, and I've no idea what some of the angles are trying to achieve. Generally zombie apocalypse type stories aren't too complicated. The world goes to crap and survivors pick their way through the mess that's left. Some productions deal with this very well and typically there is a breakdown in social order as anarchy through lawlessness prevails. It is tackled here but very poorly and the violence and gore can't compensate for the failing plot.The acting is real low level amateurish standard your more likely to find in home production, though in fairness with such a poor script, I can't wholly blame the actors for an inability to convey their roles successfully. The special effects are real low budget and there is never any real sense of dread or danger from any of the reanimated corpses shuffling lazily around the rather limited settings.The Walking Dead really has done a great job of reviving the Zombie genre, and the producers can be forgiven for wanting to capitalise on that popularity, but this isn't an new perspective, and interesting depiction or even a well executed rendition of a theme that has been well and truly exhausted. This is just another below average production of a horror genre that isn't really worth the time it takes to sit and watch.This one isn't worth the watch your better off seeing one of the older films again for a more satisfying zombie experience.
