Zombie at 17 (2018 TV Movie)
4/10
Nice idea poorly executed.
14 May 2020
This feels like a TV movie crossed with iZombie without the comedy and nowhere near as good...however the script is a joke.

Basically a girl has been infected and is slowly turning into a zombie, the hit-and-run part of the story mentioned in the summary is a very small part of it.

This girl is at school with what looks like bruised eyes and no one notices or mentions it including her Mum.

Also, there is a murder, the alibis given are so lame and the evidence given to the Detective clearly gives them an obvious number 1 suspect but the Detective is so dumb she just can't see it. The mention of zombies doesn't seem to surprise anyone like its something common but at the same time they don't seem to know anything about zombies even though someone is seen watching Night of the Living Dead on TV.

The script is immature, the characters are dumb and their reactions to what is happening is a joke. I'm not sure if the actors just could not bring the script to life, the script was just unworkable (even if that's not even a work you know what I mean lol) or the director screwed up.

However, after watching over a 1000 zombie movies this was a little different, the overall idea was quite good but was poorly executed and it could have been so much better.

It's watchable if you ignore the plot holes but you would be better off watching Warm Bodies (2013) or Contracted (2013)
