Picture:
C Sound: C Extras: D Main Program: B+
When
a military experiment gone wrong is mixed with ice cream, beer and bowling
night, it turns into a night of zombies. When four friends just having a usual night at
the bowling alley, they get a little something extra in their food and suddenly
they have strange cravings and everyone around them seem to have gone mad and
is trying to kill them. As they struggle
to find out what happened and why they learn quickly what zombie has to do
to survive. ~After all, a zombie gotta to eat too...
Four friends are accidentally turned into zombies (unknowingly to themselves) after one of their friends
decides to mix beer into the tainted ice cream, which was infected from a
runaway toxic barrel that fell off a military truck earlier. To each other they look normal, but in reality
to the rest of the world they look like rotting corpses. They are shot, stabbed, burned and dismembered
(and they still somehow can't die), that is until they meet a janitor from the
military who claims that they have been exposed chemical that has turned them
into 'super soldiers'. As they try and
get back to their normal lives they soon find out people and zombies don't
exactly mix.
This is more of a comedy than horror show, if zombies could talk (and to each
other) what would they say? Watch
four clueless teenage zombies as they fumble around as they try and find
out what happened to them. The film
flips back and forth between their views as zombies and how the rest of world
sees them. The film takes the classical
stereotyped zombies and attempts explain zombie logic, that zombies
aren't actually mindless, they still can think and feel, but just move a little
slower. The characters get into various
comical situations while they are being chased the military who wants to see
them really dead. If you like zombies and light hearted humor
this film is just right for those like to laugh at or with the undead.
