Reviews
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Paul Magne Haakonsen As much as I love all things zombie, then I also know from bitter experience that more than often is a zombie movie a swing and a miss. "Zomblies" was no different.First of all; the title! What was up with that? What was the whole thing with the added L? I just didn't understand that.Secondly, you would assume that a movie would require to have a storyline or at least something that even just remotely resembles a story and a plot. The storyline in "Zomblies" was six feet under here, no pun intended, and it never even got close to unearthing itself. It was just a bunch of people running around and away from zombies that were also running. No! Just no!There was very little acting in "Zomblies", but of course why would there be any acting in a movie where all that was going on was running around and shooting zombies?And the zombie make-up. Again no! Just no! It was the typical low budget zombie make-up, well, or rather lack thereof. First rule of a zombie movie is proper special effects and make-up. Rule two, no running zombies. Rule three, a proper storyline. "Zomblies" failed on every account.If you are a zombie aficionado, stay clear of this movie, unless you are nurturing a hangover and just need a mindless, no pun intended, movie to pass the time.
Your Doc First to say: I'm absolutely into zombie stuff. I love zombie movies - what was the reason I stumbled over this one. It is a nice movie, story line incorporates some really nice ideas. However there are two major points I wanted to criticize: First point, the actors. They play it good but one has the feeling, that they are really amateurs. I had in mind the whole time, that they might be airsoft players making a movie in their free time (for the ones aren't familiar with airsoft, just go to youtube and search for it). The military team did not look like soldiers. In fact they look quite weak and scrawny, not what I would expect from soldiers. Second shortcoming are the dialogs. I think the movie should have had more of them! The story would get more deepness and would be more convincing.However great work for an independent movie. Keep it up!
Alvin Vega I love zombie horde films and Zomblies was an awesome surprise. What's best, the movie is free to watch on their official website. I honestly think it's better than some big-name blockbusters. Although Zomblies is not a blockbuster, the camera-work is great and special effects are good considering the low budget. There's certainly some work to do with the script, but I hope the director keeps producing this quality of film in the genre. Maybe his next film could be a little longer, as the movie runs only for 47 minutes. What I really liked is the speed of zombies. They're nothing like the zombies in many classic horror films, in which people can just walk to escape the horde. I mean, these zombies are fast as lightning! I know there's the fast vs slow zombie debate and some people may not like it. However, I think that fast zombies really bring about more action-feeling into the movie. At least it works well in Zomblies. Don't miss the scene after the closing credits.
Brenda Padilla Considering that this is a low-budget movie, the special effects are quite good, completely exceeding my expectations. However, I wish the script had been better. The movie has no real plot. It's 50 minutes of soldiers shooting zombies (and that's the only reason why I included the spoiler warning in this review... if you know this, you basically know the whole movie). It felt like being in a zombie video game. Perhaps the only interesting thing is that these particular zombies are faster than regular.The last scene (after the credits) aims to give an interesting turn to the story... but it remains in the "completely predictable" area. In summary, instead of watching this movie, just play a zombie video game. It's more entertaining.
