American Zombie

Has some moments (Why do all zombies have 4-letter names, Jesus was the first zombie... Hur...), but for the most part is a bland school film that tries to do something new but fails due to poor directing, uneven pacing, a lack of tension, forced acting, terrible make-up, and an ending that can be seen from a mile away. Never have I hated zombies so.

Mockumentary about the situation for the living dead in the US today, from the problems of finding suitable homes (most landlords don't accept zomb... sorry, undead Americans as tenants), dealing with the prejudice that they eat human flesh, and just trying to find their own place in BRAAAAAAAAAINS - sorry, society. Well-made and funny, and even if they could have done a lot more with the premise, it's definitely worth watching for a different take on the genre.

Sometimes feels a bit too cheap and indie for its own good, with several unappealing characters dragging it down, but at least it's a different approach to a tired genre. Could've used some more reveals or excitement though.

Not so good

This movie wants to be funny, but is too good at being a mockumentary to allow it to follow that path.
