Not Another Zombie Movie.... About the Living Dead

As expected this movie highlights a few zombie genre clichês, but it's not as much of a spoof as I thought it would be. It is however a very funny zombie comedy.

Franklin and Mike are a couple of friends trying to fight their way through a zombie outbreak in their neighborhood. Franklin is kind of the straight man to the hilariously callous Mike. Along the way they meet a colorful cast of other characters, including Mike's stoner cousin Peanut who always seems ridiculously unconcerned.

I was pleasantly surprised just how well the twisted, politically incorrect comedy was played. The low budget special effects and the zany dialogue are definitely part of the humor and charm. Lots of laughs right from the opening scene, and somewhat consistently throughout the film. Why did the doctor look like he was reading his lines from his phone though? Lol

I highly recommend Not Another Zombie Movie, especially if you're into zombie B movies and comedic Black movies.

I've been torn about this one, when it's good it's really damn good but when it's bad it's pretty poor stuff.

This very low budget zombie effort tells the standard story of a group of people who band together during the outbreak, the lack of budget shows at every turn from the sfx to the beyond belief bad sound balancing.

Regarding the sound balancing there are no words to describe how bad it is, you pretty much need to sit there with the remote control constantly making up for it.

So what does it have going for it? Great performances and some really good writing. I was stunned just how much I ended up laughing, this is some really good stuff.

Sadly it's not consistent and you'll find yourself waiting for the next laugh and what comes in between is standard comedy free zombie stuff.

Not Another Zombie movie is a good enough watch for fans of the genre but be prepared for a mixed bag of brilliance and mediocrity.

The Good:

Some genuine laughs

Peanut was hilarious

The Bad:

CGI is appalling

Audio balancing is very very poor

A lot of filler between the laughs

Doesn't have an ending

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Osama Bin Laden as Indian

To avoid becoming a zombie stop, drop and roll
