this is a failed movie, quite frankly. sitting through this is so ho-hum that i wouldn't recommend it to anyone but the most desperate zombie fan. Even they might find this questionable
the acting is bad, which would be fine, even normal, if the dialog wasn't so canned that you'd think the entire film was dubbed into english. but its not. seriously the dialog barely fits the movement of lips, the tone is completely wrong in places, certain characters recorded sound is so 'in studio' with near echoing that its difficult to pay attention to what they're saying. of course what they are saying is the lamest dialog ever. i hope who ever wrote this used a different name because i can't imagine anyone claiming this atrocity. if you took "evil dead" dialog, which is purposefully cheesy, and took out the irony and humor you'd end up with nothing but dialog that had to be for something to be being said on screen. that's what you get here; pure bland "this is what we say in a movie about zombies" generic dialog.
the plot doesn't make any headway either. there seems to be some idea of taking parts of vampire movies and infusing them into the zombie genre. fine, whatever. but it doesn't make any sense. there's a character who was wronged by his mother, becomes a raping murderer, and then is caught, arrested, and killed in jail. so of course he becomes a zombie!!?? not like other zombies though. he becomes an eternal vampire like zombie (reminded me of radu from the subspecies films) who then when mad bites corpses and turns them into his zombie army. and did i mention he won't touch children? makes perfect sense, of course!?? so then a car dealership comes to town and begins moving a grave sight and his mother's tomb, so it begins and never really ends.
there's a number of scenes which will give you a good idea how bad this is but let me describe the best: the main girl and guy flee to the restaurant where she works and zombies follow, including the head zombie(vampire). the hordes are beating at the windows and doors while the two hang out (bored like) inside. the sheriff comes along and is swarmed as he attempts to get inside. and then suddenly the head zombie, who has previously shown incredible strength and clarity of mind, swoops in for the kill just as the sheriff is reaching the door. so the guy and girl simply open the door lead the sheriff in and gently move the head zombie from doorway and close it behind them. all of which is done with little or no suspense. its matter of fact...gotta move the zombie from the door to shut it, you know. and now all three are inside and bored. ok.
much of the movie seems like it wants to be a dry comedy but the producers don't know how to do it. unfortunately its because they're in fact making a serious movie thats not interesting enough to be ironically funny. its just a series of events that take place for the plot to get from one place to the next and then....head zombie walks down the road. the end.
skip it. this movie sucks. i paid $3 for it. honestly its not worth that. a dollar is too much. if you get the movie for free....really you should still skip it. maybe if i was paid to watch it....
