its not as good as shaun of the dead, but its far from the flop of many other zombie or even horror movies i've seen. i mean "dead and breakfast" got decent reviews but i could hardly sit through it. by those standards this is far better.
granted i think the biggest problem people have had with this film is #1 it didn't pull out any punches as far as the jokes go and #2 it is all done in complete regimented dead pan that it almost comes off as bad acting. billy zane isn't a great actor but he is never that flat either.
what could've been a great movie just doesn't quite muster anything to love about it. and the seeming anti-growth hormone message either wasn't funny or was overly heavy handed.
the meat eating the farmers at the end was totally different from most of the movie and more of it would've made a different movie altogether.
just a lot of ideas here and it didn't come together.
(the dvd has a deleted scene which is bothing incredibly boring and totally without any place to situate it in the movie....they could've left it on the cutting room floor...we didn't need to see it. i would'be rather watched the take counter parts of the reels.)
