Reviews
WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Matt Kracht I seem to be one of the few people who really liked this movie. Honestly, I'm a little surprised at all of my fellow B movie fans who proclaim how tolerant they are of low budgets, yet give this movie such a low rating.I love the anti-hero Ken, a wise-ass serial killer whose victims mysteriously start to reanimate as zombies. He's easily the best part of the movie, and, admittedly, most of the movie revolves around him, rather than the zombies, which I'm sure ended up annoying a lot of zombie fans. If you go into this movie expecting a zombie bloodbath, you'll probably end up being a bit disappointed.Speaking of which, there isn't really all that much gore in this movie, and what gore does exist tends to be rather low budget and amateurish. It's certainly not the worst that I've seen, but there are Troma movies with better gore effects. If you find Troma movies unwatchable, then you might want to avoid Die-ner.Much of the humor in Die-ner is quite black, as befitting the subject matter and protagonist. Early on, Ken tells a talkative waitress that people spill their guts to him all the time. A lot of the scenes are played for dark humor, rather than gore. Pointless flashbacks, rambling back story, and repetitive, dreamy music make up a good chunk of the movie. This either works for you or it doesn't. I thought it was awesome, but most people seem to get bored out of their minds. I thought that they all contributed to the surreal atmosphere, while making fun of traditional horror movies.It's not a masterpiece by any means, but I had a lot of fun. Perhaps something like this has a very limited appeal, but you'd think that the title would scare off most people expecting a serious, gut-wrenching zombie film. It works best as a black comedy and parody of zombie movies, and I'd recommend it mainly to Troma fans. It's not zany or exploitative enough to be a Troma movie, but it may appeal to fans of their low budget slasher/horror comedies.
Paul Celano (chelano) First I want to point out the only actor I enjoyed 100%. That was Joshua Grote. Now the rest of the cast was pretty good at their parts. Not all the zombies though, some of the zombies were pretty bad. This film has a lot of dialog in it and Grote is speaking most of it. His character is not all there in the head and he did a great job of acting that way. I enjoyed watching him talk. But too much talking in the film lead to being a little bored. There was a couple gore scenes, but no real excitement. The scare factor was low too. Also there was some things that they touched base on in the film that were never resolved. One important thing had to do with Grote's character and I wish they would of resolved it. But overall it was a fun movie to watch. But it had just as many good moments as bad ones.
Jon Doe A very good effort indeed. I was surprised to find myself pretty glued to the screen on this wonderfully done independent horror/Comedy. You can tell they didn't have that big of a budget, but still they did a fairly decent job with the effects and the acting was fairly well too. The serial killer carries a lot of the film and it doesn't wear out its welcome at 80 minutes long. I have to say I was actually sad to see it go and wished they would've made it a bit longer. I do admit some of the humor was a bit corny,but it makes up for it with some very funny moments also and is a great clash of Slasher/Zombie Horror.I Highly recommended this for Independent Horror genre film lovers with 83 minutes to kill.
tobe_whooper Ken is a personable, talkative serial killer who has just dispatched the late-night skeleton crew at an out-of-the-way diner. When a bickering young couple and a local cop turn up and start to smell a rat, Ken is ready to add to the body count. But the bodies in the freezer aren't content to stay dead, and things quickly get out of control.When you approach a movie with a title like this one, you don't tend to expect subtlety. But Die-ner's grim opening sequence (in a series of close-ups showing Ken cleaning up the traces of his work) tips you off that this is a horror movie before it's anything else. The low-key comedy proceeds mostly from the well-drawn characters' reactions to the situation. The young couple is faced with a double threat: they can't flee the zombies because of the psycho killer holding them hostage. Josh Grote (in his first film performance) does a great job as Ken, who is less terrified than utterly fascinated by the zombie rising. As a connoisseur of death, he's intrigued by the idea of un-death. "I kill people all the time," he says, "but they've never come back before." Louisiana actor Larry Purtell is hilarious as the tired, ineffectual sheriff, who gets taken out of the game pretty quickly and spends most of the movie groaning on the floor.The film is fairly light on the gore, but there is one well-done zombie bite and a bit of hand trauma. That aside, it's a clever take on the zombie and serial killer genres, informed by lots of older movies but never beholden to them. They even manage to pull off the "kill me if I become one of them" exchange without embarrassing themselves. I think if more people see this, it has the potential to generate some buzz. If a DVD were available (hopefully with a different title), I might be interested in seeing it again.P.S. Lead actor Josh Grote appears to be in no way related to Edward Norton, despite looking and sounding exactly like him.
