Making fun of zombies

Rating: 8/10 (12 September 2013)

This isn't a perfect movie by any means, but it certainly was a lot of fun to watch. I bet it was ten times more fun to make!
I got lucky and went to see this movie early with a couple of friends right around Halloween. I thought that it would be a mediocre movie but the acting and direction really hit on all the various clichés with zombie movies.
I was thinking, "how could they make another zombie movie? I'm so zombied-out already", but then I saw the trailer and I was like "oh yeah, this isn't a zombie movie! It's an anti-zombie movie!"
The acting was awesome. 100% sarcasm all the way. Funny little jokes through out the movie making fun of other zombie movies too. The "rules" laid out as you go through the movie really makes you remember that this is a comedy.
The direction of the movie is constant and the director never lets you fall asleep. Yeah, there are a couple of slow areas in the movie but they are extremely brief. The action picks right back up again and you don't get a chance to shut your eyes or yawn.
The special effects are awesome too and kudos on going over the top on some of the close up shots of zombies eating brains or spitting blood. I won't give it away but the cameo of that famous actor is the the cherry on top of an already delicious arrangement.
