My god. This movie certainly had its fair share of unhinged characters. I don't usually like zombie movies but this was pretty ok. It was like the ugly and unpopular child of The Evil Dead and Night of the Living Dead. It also had a lot of Shakespearian vibes going on as well. What can I say? Theatre people have earned the right to be over dramatic and for that I thank them.
This was profoundly terrible. . . and absolutely hilarious because of it! It's awful! It's so bad. I could not stop laughing (particularly in the aftermath of the "one tries escaping to the boat" part. I had to pause because I was laughing so hard)
I remember seeing this in the drive-in when I was a little kid (of course, my mom put her hand over my eyes for a lot of it!), The frustrating thing is that all of the characters were so awful that I just didn't care if they died. I'm glad Alan got what he deserved at the end, though. The only one that I felt slightly sorry for was Anya.
The first hour of this movie is painfully slow. The last 10 minutes are decent zombie chiller.
Cool film
