Great Independent film
asadowning18 February 2011
This movie is in the same spirit as Troma movies. Not as much scary as it is funny and out there. A shinning example of low budget independent film making and a must see for all whom like this dark comedies. The movie is only about a half an hour, contains a lot of twists and turns and over 200 zombies! The director and the main actor pulled out all the stops to make a believable zombie horde. The makeup effects are cheesy and funny and the violence is oddly believable. The acting runs the gambit from horrible to great and to top it all off, this movie contains a topless scene with a hot 19 year old girl! It's only about a half an hour, took less than $100 to make, and contains an all original soundtrack featuring some of Eugene Oregon's independent musical artists.

A not good, but decent indie film... would like to see a remaster

I watched the film recently. It can be acquired by going to Abraxis in Cottage Grove, OR. The film is bad, the cinematography, acting, and sound are all bad. It's not impossible to watch, I was thoroughly entertained the whole film but there were a handful of things I could not enjoy from the film. Watching it seemed like everything was filmed from one angle, one shot, no creativity, and all the pickup shots looked like after thoughts... like "oh wait, we need to show the door being locked" instead of creatively moving the camera to show the story progression. The music was too quiet and not very dynamic. I would like to say though, I laughed, I understood the story, and I don't regret paying to rent it. Overall, it was worth watching once. It was a good example of a first film.

To Mike and Asa, thank you for the experience. Also though... there's a lot of weird stuff at the end of the film... like real weird stuff haha!
