It's a fun little movie. It doesnt take itself too seriously. The main actress is a delight. The story is refreshing and contrary to appearances, is not 'just another zombie movie'.

The movie has some good laughs and even the romantic element is palatable. The main guy actor, well, he's a little low key but handles the role.

A few surprises, a few scares, some original story telling and a fun ending.

This is a good date movie and it is a good compromise in that both women and men will get a kick out of it.

At least for what it is. It's no "Shaun of the Dead," of course, but given that "Shaun of the Dead" is the de facto "Godfather" of zom-com (and horror comedy in general, for that matter),it's hardly fair to compare this movie to it.

The movie lives and dies by its lead actress, and more so than most -- she's clearly the standout performance (which is a shame when a movie has the great Ray Wise) and she handles the comedy, physical and verbal, very well. Not to mention being able to pull off cute even with the trite "beautiful girl playing plain by having messy hair and unflattering clothes" dynamic. (I almost said "beautiful young girl" but a look at her IMDb page reveals that she was *40* when this movie came out. Unless there's an error on IMDb or this movie was shelved for a very long time before release, she's aged really, really well. I mean, good Lord, I would have guessed mid-to-late 20s, tops.)

The movie's main flaw is that it doesn't seem to know whether it wants to be straight-up comedy or camp, something independent/low budget comedies occasionally suffer from. It vacillates between the two, which can cause abrupt changes in comedic tone. Trying for both just hurts the flow and coherency of the movie. Overall, though, while it wasn't the greatest movie in the world and I did find the comedy/camp comedy transitions jarring, I quite enjoyed it, and it was solidly written and acted (primarily by the lead actress, as noted above),so I have no complaints about the time spent watching.

I'm a fan of well made zombie-comedies (Shaun of the Dead, Wormwood, Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse),and even the odd zombie-romance (Warm Bodies),and I can appreciate any horror movie that's 'so bad it's good/funny'...

this is NOT in those categories.

Deb was described as "endearingly awkward" in the movie blurb.

I guess you could say that she is... in the same way as the axe murderer chopping your legs off and reciting random poetry or prose is 'endearingly awkward'.

To cut to the short strokes: Main characters= annoying or non entities Dialogue = on the whole, deeply awful, wooden and unsatisfying Humour = pretty much non-existent

All in all, I'd say give it a burl if you can't sleep or have watched absolutely every single other movie in existence, and you have absolutely nothing better to do (be aware that at this point, cleaning a toilet bowl with a toothbrush would be a better thing to do from my perspective). Aside from that, it's just over an hour of your life that you'll never get back.
