This is three things:
1) A humorous, off-color look at zombies, zombie films, and zombie history.
2) A pretentious examination of same.
3) An informative/surprising presentation of interesting ideas and little bits and pieces I had never seen/read/heard before.
Best when it’s 1 or 3, obviously. But 2 keeps raising its ugly head throughout, interrupting the amusement/entertainment and occasional thought-provocation with ridiculous nonsensical garbage.
Features a lot of major faces in the history of zombie movies.
There are probably first-sees for almost everyone in this; even rabid zombie fans. And definitely lots of seen-it-many-times.
So overall it’s a mixed bag, but I’d say it’s worth a watch if you like zombie films of any kind (“serious”, parody, new angle, etc.)
Cool ending, too.
