I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Awesome Movie
A waste of 90 minutes of my life
The plot is very original, depicting a father and son at war with the undead, as well as at times, with each other. Along with Mack, Jesse and Ashley, there is a whole band of supporting characters that will leave you in no short supply of laughs. From the sniveling, power hungry Norman, to the "innocent" and confused Steve, there is truly something everyone can enjoy. Freight Train Films truly accomplished a Hollywood-grade movie, between the quality of the acting, the set design, and the SFX, it makes me proud to be from the state that this was filmed in. If you're looking for a movie to take your family to see this Halloween, I highly suggest How to Kill a Zombie.
I was lucky enough to have a "Large" zombie role in this film and loved every minute of it. The film is funny and witty and I suggest everyone view it at least once. Look for the extremely large zombie towards the end, that's me. :) On set was a blast with Bill "Freight Train" McLean and crew and I would certainly work with them on any project at any time. There are some people that posted reviews on here that have no say in how the film turned out. Nothing bothers me more than an uneducated fool spitting garbage about stuff he can never understand or appreciate. It is probably best to keep you comments to yourself if you have no idea what you are talking about sir. Besides, until you have seen the commitment and drive it took from everyone involved, you really have no say. I love the film and cannot wait to own the DVD.
Sometimes budding chefs try to put two ingredients together and it just doesn't work. Comedy and horror have been done and done well before, but it says something about the paradox of life when you see a film of this nature that is neither funny nor scary. Even the ambiance of the Saco drive in could not save this movie. The lead character Mac (The starring role the director was humble enough to bestow upon himself) is hollow and wooden both in the acting and directing. Only after noticing him use social media to proposition "fans" to vote it high on IMDb (so it would sell more dvds) did I feel compelled to share my thoughts. Such high art film making. Just the title of the movie suggests the same plot twists we haven't seen since Hitchcock's Vertigo but matched with the intellectual stimulation you come to expect from movies where extras are the stars being shot down and hacked up by the overacting renaissance man of our time Bill "Freight Train" McLean!If you're looking for good local horror I would highly suggest Corey Norman's "Hanover House" and Shawn French's "Wrong House". The most scary and funny thing about this movie is realization of the minutes it steals from your life. Take it from me and don't waste your time.
I went and saw this movie at the Saco Film Festival and I thought overall that it was a decent movie..It wasn't high budget but than again it didn't need to be..It was a nice twist to not have it be your typical zombie movie, this was a zombie comedy and I was doing some nice laughing..I would recommend this movie..Kid FriendlyNot much language if any to worry about.Nice to see a movie based in Maine.Good job on the cast and crew..
