Okies my lil' Review ;)

This is an awesome, potential Oscar winning movie, about an entertainment specialist that has a genius idea of waiting for the undead to rise, turn them into a punk band which will create lots of publicity and make them very rich but i was hoping the undead would bite them, kill them and turn them into zombies too and thus creating zombie apocalypse which is a much better idea.

I also think a remake would be good starring Stallone, Arnie, Statham, Van Damme, Norris, Dolph etc and maybe entitle it Deadspendables, but they should also add aliens who come down and tell the leaders of the world that they are responsible for the zombie outbreak and also admit they were also responsible for the outbreak thats caused Night, Dawn, Day, City, Land, Island, House, Strippers, Return, Plague, Bunnies, and so forth of the Living Dead, plus Zombi 1 to 99, also 28 Hours, Days, Weeks, Months, Years Later and the other 800 or so Zombie/infected/voodoo type movie thingies.

They will then explain that the idea was to try and naturally wipe out humans on earth and make it look like humans did it themselves, they would go on to say that they originally created the humans to make a giant living computer to try and find the answer to life, sex, Justin Bieber's success, the universe and other mysteries but they got bored of waiting for the answer and decided to remove humans and put the dinosaurs back that they borrowed quite a few years earlier.

OK this silly review was done because it was a silly movie and it got the review it deserved. ;) Seriously taking into consideration that this has a budget of $5000 and almost all people involved have not been in anything else before and since and at the time is the only movie the director had directed, the movie was OK, at least they made an effort...of sorts. ;)

The drawings by the end titles were nice lol and also wait for the blooper shown during the titles its fantastic, i have never seen anything like that happen before in my life, in fact they should make a whole movie about that blooper it was amaz... ahh OK i started getting silly again. :p

Basically its not gonna be anywhere near the best movie you have ever seen, not even in this genre of movie but then again its not the worst either... actually... i just want to end by quoting something one of the other reviewers mentioned...

"What type of person watches a movie called "Pop Punk Zombies," a straight to video home made cheeseball gore flick, with a budget of $5000 none the less, and expects ANYTHING other than EXACTLY what we got?"

...exactly, that sums it up nicely. :)

Garbage - good effort, but garbage
RobAzzuri14 January 2012
I joined IMDb just to pan this movie. It was low budget trash. It desperately tried to be cool, kitchy and also looked to start a cult following, but it was an epic fail on all counts. Let's make no mistake, it was not so bad that it was good. It was not a Plan 9/Killer Clowns/Surf Nazi movie, it was a waste of 30 minutes before I shut down the video on demand. I wish I could say if it got better but even if it morphed into Night of the Living Dead, the initial half hour would have destroyed any positive sentiment in this lame zombie flick. They tried to make fun of their own movie by making reference to the gimmick which fell flat literally within moments. Don't waste your time on this. The ratings over 1 that I saw must be from the actor's friends.

Edit: Apparently, I struck a nerve with a reviewer who saw fit to insult me rather than comment on the immense shortcomings of this film, while choosing to rationalize the third rate job instead. What he clearly fails to mention in his ridiculous ad hominum attack is to point out that if you pay for a 30K SUV you should not get the 20K Hyundai instead. As far as I can see, the cost of this waste of time was the same as many good movies on VOD. No one was expecting the Godfather with a name like PPZ, but I wasn't expecting a high school quality movie shot on a camcorder either. And I don't recall it stating in the advertisement that it cost only 5K since apparently you act like it is common knowledge. It would appear the vast majority agree with me - and if you take out the fake "10 ratings" this movie would be ranked at 3/10.

WALKING DEAD CONSUMERS

Right now any idiot with 12 friends and a camera is making a zombie film because they know idiots like me will watch them. That seems to be the underlying meaning of this film which does more to promote punk music than acting. The film consists of chained zombie punk rockers playing music getting loose and attempting to infect the dozen people or so who came to watch them. Eddy (Ian Kane) who wants to be a fashion designer, desires to get back with his girlfriend and save her from being eaten.

Extremely low budget. Not much in the way of plot or make-up. Dialogue sucked too. Keep the remote handy.

Parental Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

Would you like fries with that?

Seriously, where do these horrible reviews come from? What type of person watches a movie called "Pop Punk Zombies," a straight to video home made cheeseball gore flick, with a budget of $5000 none the less, and expects ANYTHING other than EXACTLY what we got? These are the same people who buy a second hand Hyundai off of Craig's List and complain that it doesn't run like a new BMW. These are the type of people who, as employers, complain that they don't get devoted, professional attitudes from their minimum wage employees.

View this movie with an honest open mind, and realistic expectations and you will enjoy it very much. You like (very) pop punk? You like zombies? You like non-computer generated blood and make up effects? Congratulations! This movie is for you! My only complaint is that there is no nudity. Come on, every low budget horror flick needs T'n'A. Would have given it an extra star with a coupla boob shots bouncing away in fear from a zombie. Oh well, you can't have everything.

All in all, this is a very enjoyable hour and a half diversion. And you get all that for LESS than you'd pay for the second hand Hyundai!
