I checked this hidden gem out in my quest to watch every zombie movie ever made. Not only was I slightly disappointed to learn these were NOT Romero zombies, but come to learn the title is misleading--NO ONE was a Zombie for the FBI. A campy romp down memory lane to the "g-men" and "sci-fi" movies of the 40's and 50's, 2 straight-laced FBI agents are on the trail a pair of gangster brothers supposedly lost on their way to prison. When the prisoners' plane crashes into a UFO, they become the pawns of evil aliens that are "zombifing" the local residents of Pleasantville by tainting their cola drinks. With the help of a lovely reporter (who is also the fiancé of one of the g-men) and a brilliant scientist, the g-men race against time to stop both the gangsters and the aliens from escaping justice. The "zombies" are the local townspeople--the aliens "zombify" them with the "Z-ball", and those who cross their paths meet up with the dreaded "Zmonster". If it weren't for the CONSTANT music in the background, I might have enjoyed this a bit more, but it was a valiant effort nonetheless. One of those movies that "could have been SO much better."
