GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Anthony Pittore III (Shattered_Wake) Perhaps best known for once being the lowest rated horror film on IMDb, 'Dead at the Box Office' tells the story of a struggling independent movie theatre looking for anything they can to save their beloved movie house. As if their prayers are answered, the cinema's crew discovers an old movie reel of what they believe is a classic B-movie preview. Unfortunately for them, the reel actually holds a mind-control device created by a mad Nazi scientist. Soon, the theatre is overrun by a horde of murderous, flesh-eating zombies and the employees must find a way to put a stop to the ravenous monsters.Perhaps it's low expectations. Perhaps it's an unending passion for zombie cinema. Or perhaps it's a warped mind that has lost its ability to recognize horrible cinema. Whatever it may be. . . but I just couldn't seem to hate this movie the way so many others have. Sure, the acting is as unimpressive as can be. And sure, the writing is pretty terrible, with ridiculous dialogue and uneven pacing. And, maybe all the lame special effects could have been purchased for $10 from Party City. But, the film did seem to have some serious heart to it, not to mention a pretty wicked story. It was pretty obvious that it was made by people who love the zombie subgenre; and, for that alone, it should be placed above most other ultra low-budget horrors that have come out. Now, this isn't to say this is a good movie. No, it's a bad movie. A very bad movie. But it's far from the worst, if only due to its watchability and comedy. As long as there are films like 'The Zombie Diaries' or the 'Night of the Living Dead 3D' remake, 'Dead at the Box Office' should be saved as the bottom-level zombie flicks.The one thing a movie like this brings to light is the unfortunate hypocrisy that rules the film industry. It's a sad state of affairs when someone with true passion for the genre like director Shawn Sutler is forced to be stuck with z-grade inadequacy while remake hounds like Nelson McCormick get to helm multi-million dollar productions with no heart or soul whatsoever.Perhaps one day our genre will go back to rewarding people who actually care about horror, but it seems a far way off from now.Final Verdict: 4/10. If only for the passion behind it.-AP3-

Thebluemaji "Dead at the Box Office" may not be "Shaun of the Dead", but it had the kid from "Hook" in it. Sometimes you have to look at movies in steps. You can rip a movie apart as a critical viewer or you can see the good in it and enjoy it for what it is. I don't exactly know these guys well, but I met them at the screening and they have great potential. Look at "Clerks" if you want to see how a group of people can grow. Kevin Smith started out with a decent film and they evolved. DATBO was easily as entertaining as most of what goes on TV lately. Do you really want to be the guy or girl who jumped to criticality over someone's dream? The bottom line is that this is a start. With such a minimal budget, I'd say DATBO was a hit. What could they do with 50 million? Some see crap, but I see great potential. I was lucky enough to meet with some of these guys through Mark Racop and Magic House Productions. The Dead at the Box Office people are going somewhere. These people have a passion for film. There are always going to be a few kinks on the first ones, but I think it's great that someone is seeing through with their passion for creating Art. The only people who should criticize a film are fellow filmmakers. You can't fully understand the difficulty behind a film unless you make them yourself. Give these people time and see what comes from them. I personally liked it and I thought they did an excellent job overall. It was kind of like trying to sit through a Tom Cruise movie in some places, but mostly I just laughed. Could you do any better?

kyvelium Most original INDIE horror comedy I have seen yet! We need more horror comedy! Keep up the good work guys! This movie needs to be remade on a big budget level and I hope Hollywood takes a good hard look at this and makes it happen. Knowing this movie was made on a shoestring budget makes a person appreciate all the hard work and effort it takes to make a movie. Most norms out there have no idea how much dedication, time, and personal expense a movie takes to make. It takes a lot of dedicated friends and help to make it happen. These guys appeared to have all of that and hats off to them for getting the chance to make their dream come true. Anyone who bashes efforts made on this level should be ashamed of themselves! Those out there that undermine INDIE movies are basically envious morons who are too lazy to get off of their dead butts and do the same. If you did you would appreciate ALL Indie movies. Good luck guys and keep true to your dreams!

mrquint_74 I can honestly say it is the most interesting and refreshing take on zombie films i have seen in years. It takes a tried and true film genre and puts a spin on it that will leave you actually wondering where a zombie film will go. While dialog can be long at times. What zombie film doesn't suffer from this. The special effects and action will quickly grab your attention. But more then anything the well thought out story makes this one of my favorite independent films of all time. Zombie fan or not, Dead at the Box Office will leave you remembering what a good story can actually do for a film.
