One of the best zombie movies I’ve ever seen, quickly turning into one of my all time favorites.
One of the best zombie movies to come out in a while. Quickly turning into one of my all time favorites.
Great movie, one of my favorites.
Simply an epic zombie movie.
Has humor, action, exciting scenes and the whole shebang!
Great zombie flick- but really, I just like the HOT cheerleader Gwen! She can swallow my tongue anytime
just an amazing movie,
Was definitely one of the better Zombie flicks I’ve seen recently, though I don’t know if I’d go as far as saying it was amazing. But my view may be off based on the fact that I couldn’t stand the Kyle Grubbin character.
All-in-all though, pretty good Zombie flick.
Well truth be told, I haven’t seen this one yet. But I am absolutely going to need to. lol It looks awesome. Got to give the writer credit too, never seen a movie about a prom gon awry with the living dead.
) Hahaha
definitely a brilliant movie. zombie frog-zombie snogging-zombies that won’t attack if someone is playing rock music. the movie is genious, one of the best zombie bullshit of the past 10 years. Plus: Kyle is a great character, he’s so damn cool.
looks fantastic,,
When I first saw the trailer for this I was a bit worried on how it would end up coming out. If you are a fan of zomedy’s though this is one of the better ones to have come out.
It won’t take the throne from Zombieland of SoTD before it.. but I’m pretty sure currently it does fall firmly into third place!
This movie was awesome. So funny. So entertaining. Watch it.
In my personal opinion this is by far the worse zombie movie I’ve ever seen. The only thing that remains “zombieish” about the ones portrayed in the movie is that they eat the living. I mean really, in this movie they drive cars, stop moving COMPLETELY when theres rock music, and regain control of their bodies even though the heads have been removed from them. Overall it was just a major letdown for me anyways. Oh well.
