A Little Bit Zombie

"I'm a zombie... I'm a goddamn zombie.  Tina's gonna kill me"

HR Representative Steve (Turner) just wants a nice relaxing weekend at his family's cabin.  His bridezilla fiance Tina (Lowe) has other plans; she wants to spend time on their wedding preparations.  His sister, Sarah (Hager) is the reluctant matron of honor who hates the bride, and her husband, Craig (Roberts) is the best man who just wants to drink.  On their first evening, Steve is attacked by a zombie-infected mosquito.  The next morning he is unnaturally pale, can't keep down food, and drools at the word "brains."

Meanwhile, Steve is tracked by zombie hunters: Max (McHattie) who just wants to kill zomibes, and Penelope (Ullerup), who thinks there is something unique about the zombie they are tracking.  Can Steve curb his hunger for brains while staying ahead of the zombie hunters?


The other day I wanted to watch a movie, and browsed through the new Netflix instant streaming films.  This one immediately caught my attention: it sounded interesting, the trailer was a hoot, and the film wasn't too long (so I would still have time for a nap).  Anyway, the film is a comedy with zombies... not a comedy-horror (it isn't scary).

The film is bloody, without being too excessive (I watch "The Walking Dead" so I'm used to zombies and gore).  The acting is over the top, but not obnoxious.  It is an interesting film, but isn't for everyone.
