I started out watching this movie thinking it was another ordinary walking dead movie but it turned out to be entertainingly funny! There just can't be any way in the world that this was made to be scary because its so ridiculously stupid that it made me laugh the whole way through! The stars act like they are part-zombie themselves. This is always going to be on the top of my list to be watched over and over again. Nothing can describe it. You have to see it for yourself to believe it!

You might be able to tolerate watching the whole trailer for this, but I doubt it. This movie looks like some 7th graders got together and decided to make a movie in their backyard. Total piece of crap! Not even worth a rental!!

Try Googling a trailer for this movie and see what I'm talking about. Then maybe you will avoid making a GRAVE MISTAKE and buying or renting this movie!

the 2nd biggest piece of crap i have EVER seen,the acting was beyond suck,i mean it was dreadful, i mean holy crap!!!even for a b movie it was bad, bad actors will watch this and say "THIS SUCKS" no real plot to speak of,bad efx, they didnt even block off the streets,you could see drivers just driving by getting on with there day.guess they dont know bout da zombies roaming around, to sum it up......DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON THIS MOVIE....still it was better than zombie nation. but thats just one viewers thoughts,you may like it......

Okay let's be honest. This is not a 5 star movie sober. Unless you have some sort of buzz working, please don't attempt to watch this film. The movie was written, produced, directed, and edited by Shawn Darling. He (I think it is a he.) also did the camera, special make-up, wrote and performed the musical score, and scouted the location. It stars Seth Darling- go figure. This movie is on the order of "Redneck Zombies" but perhaps not quite as "good". A man dumps chemicals, which look a lot like window washer onto a cemetery out in the dessert. The label claims they are chemicals, but the movie shows them as biological agents. Somehow this creates legions of zombies that appear out of nowhere. In town, Seth Darling plays an auto-mechanic. Phil, his assistant is the village idiot who speaks with a lisp and maybe even some kind of Australian accent. Phil has written a manual on how to combat and survive the undead. (Plot spoiler: He gets eaten early in the film.) Meanwhile there is also a small Renaissance Fair going on out in the middle of nowhere. Vehicles seem to die when zombies are around and the cranking noise, that of a vehicle that won't start, doesn't match the visual of the turning of the key. The acting is bad by design (I think). At one point our group of people is fighting their way through zombies armed with a pipe, tire jacket, and an umbrella (not one of those with a large point, but one that folds in half).

If you are a lover of Ed Wood movies, check it out. If you love films with good acting and plot, don't bother. This film would make a top MST-3000 movie.

The 5 star reviews for this movie are lies! No film this bad gets 5 out of 5 stars. Amateur, barely competent movies only get a few stars for making people laugh at how bad they are. Yeah, this movie is laughably bad, but not entertainingly enough to warrant 5 stars. Obviously, those reviews were written by people involved with the movie and who have a personal interest in deceiving unwary people into buying it. Don't be fooled. If you're curious, or want everything zombie, don't pay more than a dollar for it and you won't feel so cheated. I bought it used, in a 4-pac of zombie films for about $3, so I don't feel cheated, but those 5-star lies really pissed me off. By the way, there is a character who becomes prominent in the last 15 minutes or so, who is really funny, but the waiting is painful.

It was very amateurish to say the least. It was like some college student created a movie as a school project, using friends and family as the cast. The characters, acting and plot were terrible. I found myself fast-forwarding through the second half of the movie. It was that bad. The movie was not scary. It was not funny either.

I must admit though, it took guts for the producers and actors to put their names in the credits at the end of the movie. I would have been too ashamed to own up to this pathetic mess.

I got this as part of the midnight horror collection set, that i bought for 5.00, and it has 4 movies so i was not that mad when it sucked. I watched it with family and we laughed a a few scenes, and there was also a few cool FX/kills but overall it sucked! The picture was blurry, the acting was terrible, and the zombies sucked. I would have given this move 2 stars but i see some people gave it 5 so to balance it out ill give it one. 95 min. , color, Widescreen(so big its almost full screen) , not rated- Violence/Profanity. Overall 1 - 2 Stars,this is bad but Believe me there are worse!!

I gotta say I was skeptical but when I realized that this is a Grindhouse style film I loved it!! Its totally done in the style on purpose with hilarious references to the horror community and other horror films as well as their creators!! wow. Get this film Man. Im glad its in my collection!

The trailer doesn't even do justice to this fantastic indie film. It won the Official Selection at the Revenant film festival in 2008 and is applauded for having some of the best looking zombies ever. As for myself I borrowed a copy from a friend and had to have a copy of my own after seeing it.

OK, I have to admit that I'm a little biased, since I worked on this movie. I played "Lord Warmin"...the guy in the helmet with a sword on the cover. I've had a DVD of this film since May, and have showed it to a LOT of people. The response has been overwhelmingly positive!
I tend to nitpick it too much, having been behind the scenes. But it really is entertaining, funny, gross, and just better than you'd expect from a film of this caliber! Buy this movie with no doubt: if you enjoy Zombie B-Movies, Grave Mistake will rock your world!
