tripe

this film, shot on a video camcorder of some sort, is a testament to the prowess of stupidity. you'll be lucky to find it in your local store, and i believe it received extremely limited distribution. that it got produced in the first place is a small miracle. though i consider myself a fan of the psychotronic b-movie genre, this film goes wrong in the wrong places. sure, the acting is bad, the plot confounded, the editing nonexistent. but if i wanted to see a film this bad, i'd go watch all the stupid videos i recorded with my friends in high school. zombie cop is about 90 straight minutes of just that.
