I am a big fan of Zombie movies. I am a big fan of B movies. I am not a fan of this movie. I'm giving this movie one star only because I am unable to give it a lower rating. This is a horrible, horrible movie. Do not waste your time even renting this piece of junk. If you want to see a better low budget cheesy zombie flick, check out Redneck Zombies

If you're drawn to bad movies the way Bill Clinton is drawn to pizza-bearing interns, then you have to get your hands on Zombies Gone Wild. This thing is a cinematic cow pie of the most odiferous kind. The plot is all but nonexistent (I think they made up most of the actual dialogue as they went along), the acting is atrocious, and I can barely even make myself utter the word cinematography when speaking of this film. Lighting? What's that? And there's so much toilet humor that I'm pretty sure the Tidy Bowl Man was listed as a script consultant in the credits. If you come to this movie for the zombies, prepare to be disappointed - the whole zombie thing never makes any sense, and there's very little gore. On a positive note, the filmmakers somehow did manage to sneak this movie out under the noses of the PC police, so it is offensive in a number of respects (especially to the deaf community).

As you can see, pretty much all of the necessary ingredients for a gloriously bad movie exist in Zombies Gone Wild. Early on, much hilarity ensued, making me think this would be THE cult movie event of the year, but the story - such as it is - began to grow a little weary halfway through, and then the actual introduction of the zombies did much to ruin what had come before. Still, I was still contemplating three, maybe even four stars at that point. Then I got to the end of the movie, and it was not good. It was, in fact, an atrocious cop-out that was so unoriginal that it really got my back up. And so it is that I am giving this movie two stars, solely because of all the laughs it gave me in the first half hour.

Oh, you want to know what the story's about? Well, it's the story of three friends hitting the road for the spring break shenanigans of a lifetime. First, there's Marty (Dave Competello): driver of the van, de facto leader of the group, self-described ladies' man, and poster child for Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Marty has made it his mission to find as many girls as possible for him and his friends Leroy (Dominique Rochelle) and Randy (Chris Saphire). The Lord knows neither of his chums could ever get a girl on his own. Randy is sort of a Rain Man-type character, smart in some ways but mostly just hopelessly stupid, while Leroy is a total Poindexter who makes Steve Urkel look like the Fonz. I don't know where these guys are actually headed (it sure ain't the beach), but they end up in the middle of nowhere thinking they finally hit the jackpot when they get invited to a party with a couple of deaf girls and a sassy little tease who makes them forget all about the recent news story about a zombie girl having eaten her boyfriend in this very same town.

This is a must-see for lovers of putridly bad movies. As unwatchable as the movie eventually becomes, the first half hour is absolutely hilarious, especially the scenes wherein the fathers of Leroy and Randy send them off on this adventure of a lifetime. It's too bad the guys eventually got out of the van and ended up fighting zombies because that's where the film really fell apart and became hopelessly annoying.

You need a ZERO star rating for this heap. It's total TRASH. It's a camcorder homemade piece of stank. I couldn't even watch the entire thing, I had to FF through with my DVD remote. I was so disappointed. Oh, and don't think for a second you're getting T & A or a girl that looks anywhere near the one on the DVD cover, cuz YOU'RE NOT!! I'm glad I picked this up for 3.00 from my local store in the clearance. Even so, I wish I'd spent the 3.00 on some candy. JUNK!

I bought this for my boyfriend who LOVES zombies... and I was throughly embarassed because of bad this move turned out to be. This wouldn't have been worth a free movie rental. Crappy script, poor acting, dragged on and on... ended up skipping through scenes and total crap all the way through.

Save your money, get ANY movie other than this.

I don't get why such low budget movies like "Zombies Gone Wild" cost so much to order. From what I've been reading in these reviews, this dvd should cost about $5.99 not $19.98. Come on Amazon! How about a price recalibration to reflect the original film budget!

As another said & I didnt read ahead of time, this movie doesnt even deserve 1 star. When are people going to realize that acting like a retard does NOT make a movie funny. Blow up dolls do NOT make a movie funny. Seriously, when they finally meet the 3 girls at the community park by the pond, is the one in the middle deaf or from Eastern Europe? I couldnt tell. The white guy who played several roles including a black man & in the same persona an Indian (dot, not feather). Cant make up your mind? Who's mom played the mom at the beginning? I paid $2.47 for the movie & another $2.98 for shipping. I cant ever get this time or money back. I LOVE b-movies & have over 600 of them. I honestly cant come up with any words to describe just how horrible this movie is. The end was everyone discussing their pay before walking off. Nothing was clever or even remotely humorous. A frozen burrito is more appealing, seriously. Dont bother.

...I have seen a great deal of terrible movies in my lifetime. I usually try to like something about them; however, this one is so bad it is not even worth renting. Now I am a fan of low budget movies. Movies such as Bone Sickness--they have that home shot look, but the difference is that movie was actually good. This one is horribly shot. It looks as if it was shot with a DVD Camcorder, not even using a tripod. In the beginning the camera work is childish at best. The person shooting it keeps shaking the camera, and zooming in and out unnecessarily. There are several instances in which the cameraguy zooms in on on one characters face when another is talking, and you can't even see what the other guy is doing. Horrible. You do not see zombies until an hour into the movie. All you get here is terrible camerawork, horrible sound, stupid story, and a waste of 1.5 hours of your life. I wish I had something good to say about this movie, but I'm ashamed to even have it as part of my collection. Steer clear, way clear of this pile of rubbish.

I'm a huge fan of low budget horror. Regardless, though, of whether a movie is huge or low budget, it must have certain characteristics to make it enjoyable, such as a decent plot, good camera work, good acting, interesting characters, etc. This movie has none of those elements. In fact, the majority of the film is shot inside a van, and with a Walmart quality consumer camcorder. The plot is stupid, the acting horrible, and the image quality so bad its distracting. I'm embarrassed for the director and producer that they would issue something this terrible. I love movies, and they're a great form of escapism, and I tend to have a very flexible standard. However, time is short and precious, and I'd rather spend my time watching movies that at least have something redeeming. Not so here.

I used to believe that there really wasn't a way to know what the worst movie of all time was, but now I know it's Zombies Gone Wild. Now I do enjoy watching bad horror movies but this goes way beyond that. I think that jamming a rusty fork in my eye would be more enjoyable than watching this movie. I do have to say my favorite part of the movie was when the random people walked into the scene not knowing the worst movie of all time was being filmed. If you have someone that you hate, I suggest thinking twice before sending this 'film' and asking youself 'How much do I really hate this person?' On the upside, anything that you watch next is a masterpiece. Even Uncle Sam or Black Sheep. And I'm dying to watch Pearl Harbor now too.

I am going to forego my regular review format, as I find that it isn't necessary.

No comments on actors, production or special effects.

Just know that this movie is one of the BIGGEST pieces of crap to have ever graced a DVD. There simply is NO reason to watch this movie. Everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) about this movie is complete and utter garbage. An insult to the genre. Even the director / writer was embarrassed by it and only used his initials. You would be better off to just stare at a blank t.v. screen for 102 minutes. Seriously.

Amazon really needs to add a "No Star" option.
