I know I've been promising lately to start up the reviews again and that I'd been watching movies to review for you, but instead of posting one of my back up reviews I'm going to be a new review for a movie I just watched.
Now, Zombie Gone Wild was inappropriate, immature and frankly I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy ( actually, I might. My worst enemy was a fan of zombie strippers and may actually appreciate this as a piece of good cinematography, which btw it was not.)
Let's start with the plotline. 3 (teenage?) boys are at home jacking off with each other and one of them decides it would be great to make a zombie movie, so they head out and stumble across "real zombies" who are sexy ( and some mentally retarded) females with next to no morals who are throwing a party. At the party the females turn into zombies and start a blood bath. Then the movie get's interrupted by the hair guy and the actress playing the leading zombie finds out the leading male got paid 200 bucks while she got paid nothing and she stormed off angrily, cutting the movie short, (unfortunately not short enough.).
Character development? There was none. I just finished watching the movie 10 minutes ago and I couldn't even tell you a single persons name from it.
Zombie Accuracy: Other than getting the dead, gooey part right there was none. Zombies are walking dead, not kung fu fighting dead, not sex robots by day gross clown looking things by night then the next morning dead, really, the only similarity between this and an actual zombie was the eating of human flesh.
Now let's talk about where this movie falls in comparison to some of the others I've seen by the classic technique of a pros and cons list.
Pros: There were actually zombies in this one (which is more than I can say for Gory Gory Hallelujah). There were more zombies than what I can count on one hand ( which is more than I can say for either Skeleton Key 2 or Oh! My Zombie Mermaid). It didn't make me want to be a vegetarian ( like Poultrygiest: Night of the Chicken Dead) and I didn't fall asleep and have to finish the next morning (Beneath Still Waters). Also, for a movie that I'm assuming had no budget, the shooting of zombies was a little better than I would have expected it to be. Oh, and minimal nudity (And even some of my favorite zombie movies had to show a naked girl from a full frontal angle even when it was completely unnecessary like Zombieland.)
Cons: The special effects were extremely inconsistent and never very good, I'd say they ranged from almost decent to nonexistent. It was 110 minutes long. It easily could have been an 80 or 90 minute film and less of my time would be wasted right now. They used a red apple to be a guys intestines at one point, you could hear the zombie crunching it. There was no plot, it wasn't funny or clever, it had no point and I feel less intelligent just for watching it.
So, should you watch it? No, not if you value your brain cells.
And, my dear zombie followers, I know the blog has been going slowly lately, but if you ever doubt my loyalty to you, this blog, or this project, remember: I got home at 1:15 this morning and watched Zombies Gone Wild so that it could be in the mail by tomorrow and Hot Wax Zombies On Wheels can be on it's way, and then, even though I'm extremely tired, I came to post this blog, to give you the latest zombie news update, at 3:30 in the morning. What can I say, I love you guys.
Until next time, maybe I'll have a review from earlier or maybe another movie will have come in the mail, but remember, I'm here working round the clock for your brains..... i mean minds. Lol, jk. Seriously though, I'm a working stiff.
Love,
Cat.
