Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

PlatinumRead Just so...so bad

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

movieman_kev Jake, his nemesis, Randy & Jake's girlfriend must contend with zombiefied townsfolk (grandmoms and dogs mainly) in what was once a quaint and quiet, if backwoods town.Imagine a cross between "Shaun of the Dead" and "Slither", but without the budget or wit of either aforementioned films. Although far from the worst 'Zomedy" I've ever seen (I'm thinking of trademarking that term by the way) But there's still nothing here to recommend it to anyone but the most hardcore obsessive zombie completionist (and even then only hesitantly)My Grade: D

bababear Brothers Denton (the sensible one) and Jake (the unfocused one who will find a larger purpose in life as the story progresses) run a gas station/repair shop in a picturesque little town in Vermont. Jake has absolutely no mechanical ability or interest in doing that job, so business isn't good.They get a call to check out a pickup truck abandoned on a rural road. Walking up to a cabin they find blood all over the place and Denton is seriously injured when a zombie attacks them.Jake goes back to town and finds former girlfriend Alex, who's graduated from college and come back to town to do scientific research. They alert the sheriff.A huge wreck has blocked the only road in or out of town. They find Denton. who's a raving lunatic. Denton is locked in a jail cell (goodness knows how they got him there- his being transported happens offscreen).Denton dies unnoticed by anyone and slug-like creatures come out of his body- two exit through the space where his left eye used to be- and the invasion by these strange creatures begins in earnest.The people aren't zombies in the classic sense, but you don't know what else to call them. One nice little old lady was bitten by her dog and she suddenly turns homicidal at a bingo session, biting the arm of her friend who just called bingo.Soon there are zombie teenagers, at least one zombie dog, and zombie grannies running the streets.It's up to Jake and Alex and a small band of survivors to save the day before the monsters overrun their town. Along the way Jake will rediscover his feelings for Alex and, almost miraculously, finally understand how to work on the engine of a commercial Chevy van.Credit writer/director Damon Lemay with not taking this too seriously. He has a limited budget, most of which goes for some really nasty special effects makeup. The story borrows from many sources, from EAST OF EDEN to NIGHT OF THE CREEPS. LeMay dares to have fun with the material, and he has some surprisingly good performers to do his bidding.The character called Randy could have been a one-dimensional macho killing machine who comes in handy in a bad situation. A manic young actor named Dennis Lemoine takes the part and runs with it. He plays the character as having incredibly bad hair (as do most of the male characters) and has a field day kicking zombie butt from one end of town to the other.Once people have been taken over by the parasites there's no coming back for them, so he cheerfully dispatches people he's known all his life- including his Aunt Ruth and his third grade teacher- making wisecracks all the while.The monsters are finally defeated by a plot device borrowed from THE DEAD PIT that wipes out the vast majority of the monsters. As Jake and Alex- the lone survivors- walk into the sunset there's some ambiguous movement in the foreground that sets us up for Zombie Town 2.I'll be looking forward to it.Parents' note: This richly deserves the R rating. Graphic and gross violence, profanity, and a rather surprising nude scene.

Matthias I just saw this one last night and prepared me for the worst before crankin' on the 'ol DVD-player. Actually this is not bad, not bad at all in fact. Yes it surely belong in the low budget layer but despite a few shortcomings in different areas it comes out on top.So let's see...the quality of the image is clearly camcorder like(but could be far worse), a little stiff acting here and there, a few plot holes and various other small things work against it but fortunately doesn't manage to drag it down to the bottom. It appears that the actors and production crew has really tried to do their best despite lack of experience in certain areas. It feels very sincere, me thinks.This movie is clearly inspired by a few other "classics" like "Night of the creeps"(The leeches), George Romero's Zombie movies(namely Tom Savini's elastic flesh ripping) but i would really say that overall this movie reminds me more of the style of "28 Days later" than some of the old Zombie classics.All in all we get a nice package with lots of pretty well executed gore, some nudity, a love story, some stupid and/or illogical decisions by our heroes and a few funny moments; both intentional and unintentional(How about the sheriffs toilet visit, great!).So if you're going to watch this little movie don't expect award winning material here, just take it for what it is and you'll have a good time.I can tell you this, these guys and gals has made a far superior movie than our notorious friend Uwe boll did when doing "House of the dead" and this team made it with far less a budget than Mr Boll. Clearly you have to have talent to make a movie not just money.I tip my hat for the team behind "Zombie town" for making a good solid "Zombie" film which should please most other fans of this genre. I hope to see more from them.

em89072002 Thought this was going to be a horror movie, but it is more of a horror spoof along the lines of FEAST or SLITHER although not as good as either of those movies. The story is pretty generic: boy meets girl, then boy meets zombie, zombies proliferate and wreck havoc, boy and girl kill zombies and live happily ever after. Yet, in this movie everyone other than the zombies appear to be braindead. There is not much new here except the actors who appear to be relatively unknown, and if this is any indication of their talent they'll likely remain unknown for a long time to come. In several of the scenes the characters had delayed responses and exhibited schizoid behavior to the unfolding events which initially was just awkward but became progressively annoying as these stilted performances continued. Not only couldn't the actors handle their lines, but they couldn't even handle the props. Check out how awkwardly the lead actor handles the shotgun; it's surprising he didn't point the muzzle at his own face. The special effects in this film are really lame. Some elements (like the leeches) appeared to be low budget knock-offs of flicks like SLITHER while other aspects (like the oozing blood) seemed to be borrowed from a third grade science project ---like those artificial volcanos that ooze a mixture of baking soda, vinegar and food coloring.At some point in the production everyone involved must have realized that this wasn't going to work as a horror film so they started to throw in everything from bare breasts to bad jokes --- the problem is that they forgot to make the jokes funny (the breast were pretty lame too). Here, a laugh track would have helped to cue the viewer into when a joke had been told. Like, oh --- now I'm surposed to laugh --- good to know, thanks.Overall it's a bad movie, but it gets three stars because it is somewhat entertaining as a horror spoof.
