Humans vs Zombies (2011)

Fresh and Exciting

A different way of telling a story

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Another ruinous no-budget zombie flick that helps to drive this particular sub-genre further into the ground. HUMANS VS ZOMBIES is apparently based on a live-action roleplaying game of the same name, one that's popular in colleges across the USA. As a film, it's entirely devoid of wit, intelligence, and merit.A toxic leak at a chemical plant results in a zombie epidemic and some geeky roleplaying kids are the only ones who have a chance to fight back. That's the extent of the storyline, and for the rest of the running time we get stuck with a group of annoying teenage characters as they outrun zombies over and over again.There are the requisite shoddy gore effects, crowds of bloody zombies, and low rent action, and all of it is captured by a director barely capable of shooting a watchable film. In the end, though, it's the poor quality script - one which is entirely derivative of pretty much every zombie flick that's come before - which scuppers this mess of a movie.

Well what can I say not the worst zombie flick I've seen but you would have to have been in this film to score it a 10 Over all its a OK movie the characters are common archetypes ,jock,nerd ,the hot geek girl flaky female ,goofy fat mate The action is OK ,the effects are kinda OK the acting was surprisingly good I wouldn't trash this as badly as others but then I've had to sit though some really terrible zombie movies The geeky zombie expert ,the ex army security guard ,hot geek girl,the nice girl and the jock make for quiet a survivor group it made a great difference for then not to rush out and load up with guns and ammo Only thing that bugged me was the guy trying trying to be Jack Black

Despite what some reviewers seem to be claiming, I found this movie very enjoyable all the way through. The direction was brilliant, this movie is well on par in both quality and entertainment with modern mainstream zombie movies. Its not resident evil, but that stopped being about zombies years ago anyway :PI would suggest you watch the movie to the end and not just watch it to the first scene, like most of the negative reviewers must have. They come here moaning about how lame they thought the whole movie was despite not even watching it to the end.For me this movie was well executed, kept you interested and the character development was brilliant. Lets face it we don't need to know about the rough childhood memories that a character may or may not have when they are supposed to be shooting the heads off zombies.

OK, I went to the screening with the assumption that this would be an OK movie due to the budget size, but let me tell you I was completely surprised at the content of this movie. It was well shot, great cinematography, great soundtrack, the acting was really good, you really believed the emotion and were drawn into it. the comedic element of the lines in the movie really surprised me and made this a very enjoyable movie...although it is not the most kid friendly as it had a few adult scenes, but what horror movie doesn't? Brian Jaynes really out did himself. you can tell that the cast and crew really worked hard and they came up with a winner in my book. 5 stars. the only reason I gave it an 8 instead of 10 was because it did have a few imperfections but they did not detract from the enjoyability of this movie. would definitely recommend it to my friends.
