Rockabilly Zombie Weekend (2013)

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Sorry, this movie sucks

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

I will start by saying that "Rockabilly Zombie Weekend" is a fairly low budget movie, but it is not amongst the top ten of worst zombie movies that I have seen.However, with that said I must go on to revealing that the movie was just excruciatingly boring and uninteresting. In fact, I gave up halfway through the ordeal to find something else worthwhile to watch.The characters in the movie were one-dimensional and seemed like comic book caricatures. And the dialogue was equally bad, so it matched one another I suppose.As for the zombies, well... Granted this movie was taking place during some outbreak so the corpses weren't shambling mounds of decay. But isn't that what the audience wants to see in zombie movies? At least that is what I want to see. So the zombies in "Rockabilly Zombie Weekend" was somewhat of a disappointment for me.For a zombie movie then "Rockabilly Zombie Weekend" wasn't outstanding, memorable nor did it bring anything new to the genre. A less than mediocre zombie movie at best.

This movie is awful. Worst movie I've seen, and I love zombie movies.This film has nothing redeeming it. Its not funny enough to be a funny zombie movie and when it attempts to be funny it just winds up with the most cringe worthy attempts at jokes that could be done. It's not scary enough to be a horror zombie flick. The CGI gore and over the topness just make this seem like a wannabe movie to unrealistic to be scary. The film suffers from trying to find a new niche to in the zombie franchise but just ends up repeating other flicks to the point of plagiarism. The dialogue is questionable and the acting far below par. Not once could I even relate to the actors becuz they just seemed like they couldn't connect to the roles they were playing. This movie isn't even good enough to make it on Thriller or SyFy during zombie week or make it to the 49 cent ben at walmart Also, the Cody Cromartie reviewer was in the movie so don't belief him.

I admittedly love the genre, zombie movies were once a guilty pleasure thrust into the limelight with the startling popularity of The Walking Dead, Zombieland, and others. However the some of us have been zombie aficionados have been around a bit longer. You are far more likely to hear us mention Fulci and O'Bannon, as well as, titles like Zombie, Cemetery Man, and Return of the Living Dead, occasionally throwing in more recent ones like La Horde and Dead Snow. After the screening in February, I added Rockabilly Zombie Weekend to this list, and yes, I'll tell you why. 1. Zombies, duh. There is no such thing as a bad zombie. There are different interpretations, of course, but no one is wrong. Until you have one knocking on your door trying to consume you, take it with a little imagination. The Special Effects Crew was phenomenal, making even my cast iron stomach squiggle, in some of the shots.2. Speaking of shots....that one zombie who took the dive over the bushes at the hospital...BRILLIANT!3. This is a completely local CENTRAL Florida production. Seriously, it's another project helping us out from beneath the Giant Shadow of Disney. 4. The writer, director, and all of the cast and crew hit their marks exactly the way it was planned.5. I laughed, just like the other films I referenced above, Rockabilly Zombie Weekend has some amazing top tongue-in-cheek humor going on. Although not nearly as revealing, but performance by Michelle Elise reminded me of Linnea Quigley in Return of the Living Dead. Watch it, laugh, ogle, squeal, root for the zombies, root for the heroes, and JUST ENJOY IT. THIS IS A ZOMBIE MOVIE. I REPEAT THIS IS A ZOMBIE MOVIE.

I was one of the unfortunate ones to attend the screening for this movie. It's bland, unoriginal, and lacking in so many areas. It has mad potential and could probably be perfected by another director and cast, but this time around, it's not worth investing your time in. Frankly, I think it's up there with The Room in the big bad list of awful movies.Not saying you shouldn't listen to other critics, but they're probably involved with the movie in some way if they're saying anything positive about it. Honestly, I don't think there's any other way to make any sort of valid defense for this movie. It's not for the die hard cinema fanatic, nor the casual moviegoer. Do yourself a favor and avoid it in the future.
