Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
TeenzTen An action-packed slog
MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
sachman71 Piece of dung movie. This guy who made looks like the kind of guy who brags about the success of others. He's like that scrub from the TLC song. He latches onto the success of others trying to impress the girls but usually get sloppy seconds. Do Not Waste Your Time. Not much else to to say about this piece of crap.
Michael Ledo Mack (Bill Steven McLean) is six miles north of Portland, Maine with his son Jesse (Ben McLean) teaching him manhood survivor skills when a localized zombie outbreak occurs. They travel to Portland in their plastic window Jeep saving Ashley (Hannah Elaine Perry) along the way. They end up in the building where the whole incident started attempting to save the innocent people who work there...even those that don't want their help. Jesse has a notebook and keeps track of the different ways he kills zombies, hence the title, although a comprehensive list would have been nice.This is the second best zombie film to come out of Portland, Maine ("Night of the Living Deb" was #1 in case you had doubt). It is designed to be a camp cult film, and certainly has many elements to make it one. It spoofs the zombie craze. The dialogue had humor and the characters were quirky and they had effective running gags. Acting was poor by design...I think. Pretty good for a low budget film. Decent sound, camera angle, and no mics in the picture. Nice to see someone actually use what they learned at film school.No swearing, sex, or nudity.
PaleBarbiedoll The plot is very original, depicting a father and son at war with the undead, as well as at times, with each other. Along with Mack, Jesse and Ashley, there is a whole band of supporting characters that will leave you in no short supply of laughs. From the sniveling, power hungry Norman, to the "innocent" and confused Steve, there is truly something everyone can enjoy. Freight Train Films truly accomplished a Hollywood-grade movie, between the quality of the acting, the set design, and the SFX, it makes me proud to be from the state that this was filmed in. If you're looking for a movie to take your family to see this Halloween, I highly suggest How to Kill a Zombie.
StephanBernard Made in Maine Zom-Com? Can't be good if it ain't Hollywood... well think again! A great piece of film combining action, gore, comedy, drama, and of course... THE ZOMBIES! The Lead Protagonists give it a realistic survival scenario against the undead; by using whatever means, and whatever weapons! On the Leads opposing end: The Lead Antagonist is truly a character you'd want to punch square in the face; from opening line, then on(for all the right reasons). The use of one-liners, running gags, and action is the "Meat & 'Taters" of this funny film. If you like titles such as "Shaun of the Dead" or "Cockneys vs Zombies", then this'll be just as enjoyable!
