Branded as "Twilight with zombies" gained it an unfortunate rep but I was pleasantly surprised to find it was more Edward Scissorhands than sparkly vampires. It's well acted, occasionally funny and breathes some new ideas into the tired zombie genre. However, it has a difficult time balancing comedy and horror which makes for a very bumpy ride. Had it leaned closer towards the comedy and inserted a bit more wit into the dialogue it might have worked, instead of taking the silly premise just a tad too seriously at times.

That's kind of disappointing.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing the trailer revealed all the comedic parts there is.
The trailer makes it seem like it's purely comedy.
