Storyline

Motel Halali is an ideal place. Isolated deep in the forest, not a living soul turns up all the livelong year except the staff. This is a perfect place for Dr. Reinis's (Jaroslav Dusek) course designed to help people find meaning in life. Course participants learn something about what it means to live and even more about what it means to survive. That's because a zombie comes stalking out of a forest smelling of needles, decay, and blood. Our heroes must stand alone against it, without hope of help, without a chance in this most desolate, Godforsaken spot in Bohemia.

Prof. Reinis: I'm going to be eaten by zombie woodsmen. That's not how a philosopher should die.

User Reviews

Stupidly wonderful.

I bought the DVD on a whim because I was asking my cousin in Prague for some films he enjoyed. Knowing that I like horror, enjoy zombie flicks and have a penchant for films that look utterly ridiculous, he suggested Choking Hazard.

A little bit of philosophical commentary mixed in with some excellent laughs and a lot of zombies. It has a bit of the bad B flavour but it's one of those films that realizes that it has the potential to be terrible and just cracks jokes on the fact and has fun. If all else fails you, some of the zombie scenes are excellent and some of the running jokes are just hysterical.

If you like horror/comedy, especially of the zombified variety, I highly recommend this one.
