Z-O-M-B-I-E-S (2018)

Very well executed

Good movie but grossly overrated

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Such an amazing movie I want a second I didn't think the movie would be good when I first started watching it but then it was just amazing it really cheesy I know some preppie don't like that but I love it and I've watched it so many times and listen to "someday" over and over again

That review might seem a little harsh, however that doesn't mean that it is not true. I am usually very positive when I review movies. As negative as this review may appear, I do like to give most movies the benefit of the doubt. However, it took me 3 separate views too find anything that I can even consider passible.Lets start with what I find passible with the movie. Probably the most passible thing in the movie is the couch of Zed's team. The character is almost like something out of a Kevin Hart or Tyler Perry movie. His character is self-depracting and aware of just how pathetic he is. He's also over the top and clearly not taking this seriously. However, he never truly reaches anything above passible.No lets get into the things I find bad about this movie. And rest assured, There is a lot of things. But to keep things relatively streamlined and to keep me from explode in a mixture of rage and violence, I'll start with the production design.The production design looks like it was done in an afternoon with whatever they could find laying around the soundstage. The colors of the sets include pastel pink and blue that don't sever any purpose whatsoever. The make-up makes the zombies look like they're all amateur cosplayers dressing up as The Joker for ComicCon.Next, I'm going to talk about the acting. Apart from the couch, none of the performances reaches anything above serviceable. Zed, the lead male of the film, is a zombie who wants to join the football team. He barely seems like he cares thought the movie, clearly have fun an letting too much of himself into the character. There's also Addison, the female lead of the movie, who is a human hoping to become a cheerleader. She appears to be trying really hard throughout the entire movie. However, this combination isn't very good at all. Not to mention that their on screen chemistry can best be described as two people who were told early that morning that they would fall in love.There's also Bucky, Addison's cousin who is also the captain of the cheerleaders. He is constant flipping from coked out maniac and wooden stump throughout the movie. And then there's everyone else, whom are basically the same as Bucky.Then there is the writing and story, which is probably my least favorite aspect. The messages and themes, while definitely good and important, are delivered with the all of the subtlety of a sledgehammer being swung towards a house made of glass. Not a single line is clever or service the story in a unique way. And the message of the film appears to be "We call all solve racism by cheering." If only Malcolm X or Fredrick Douglas k new that all he needed to do was cheer.There are other things that are terrible about this movie, but I don't have the time or the patience to describe them

Before I saw this movie, I thought it was a boring movie. But, it is completely wrong!Although usually movies related to zombies are some kinds of horror movies, this movie is whole different kind of movie and it fascinated me! Some musical or dances, is feature of Disney Channel Original Movies, in this movies are also very good and musics intrigued me. In particular, "someday" and "my year" become my favorite music.Before I saw this movie, I don't know Meg Donnelly, but I become one of her funs because of this movie!If you do not decide whether you see this movie or not, I definitely recommend you to see this movie!

Z-O-M-B-I-E-S is an allegorical film about racism, it does not really hide its subject matter. It is really a shame that it looks rather cheap and the song & dance numbers seem to be so unmemorable. It just looks like a Disney television movie that was quickly knocked off and they hope the young teens will like it enough.Some years after a zombie infestation, they are now deemed to be harmless as they can control their urges through a device. Zombies are now allowed to integrate at high school with humans.Charming Zed wants to play college football but the Zombies discover that integration is not something that humans are really keen on. However he befriends freshman Addison, she wants to be a cheerleader and decides to join their cause to be accepted.It is a shame that the script was not more polished.
