When I first heard of this movie I didn't expect much, but after watching it I was very impressed. Any movie with Nazi's tied in is amazing! (ex. like Hellboy and Indiana Jones) I mean this movie costars one of the lost boys in HOOK! The special effects and makeup was very convincing and the directing was bar none. Dead at the Box office definitely pays homage to the the old school Romero movies, and Casey Kirkpatrick did an excellent job paying his respects to the Legend himself. This movie wasn't dragged out either and had a very cool and funny twist in the end. When I checked the features on the DVD...being a big fan of toxic crusader...seeing the owner of Troma giving his approval...paved the way for a good zombie killing fun.

The plot line was clever and original, yet included some of the best parts of the zombie "formula." Two of the actors did a great job- Casey Kirkpatrick ("Eric") and Isaiah Robinson ("Curtis"). Who would have thought that cute kid from Hook would show up in an indy zombie flick? I also liked the use of public domain film and nods to cult classics. After watching it, one of my main thoughts was that if this movie had had a Hollywood budget, it would have been a blockbuster. I really hope this troupe makes another flick!
... View MoreMy original expectations were not the highest but this turned out to be a great movie! The acting was good but the key was the innovative story line. Kudos to the writers on a job well done! I'm sure we will be seeing some of your movies on the big screen one day!Although this movie followed the typical classic zombie movie plot, Dead at the Box Office had a unique twist that keeps you on your toes. It starts out with a few movie buffs working in a classic horror theater then all hell breaks loose. In addition to all the scary scenes, there were quite a few times where I found myself laughing out loud.I would recommend this movie to anyone looking for a scary funny movie.
... View Morewhile this film might not be technically perfect (there are problems in particular with the sound) or cinematically profound (the acting can be a bit clunky at times), it's otherwise a great low-budget zombie flick. the script is well-paced, well-written, and full of cult film in-jokes that the horror or b-movie buff will definitely enjoy. (i suspect anyone who's ever worked in a movie theater will also suitably entertained, as the entire film is set in a small, struggling theater and makes good use of both the physical setting and the overall atmosphere.) the make-up and special effects are extra gory and above average for a DIY film. the soundtrack and incidental music are also great... i watched it last night and can't get the closing song out of my head! look for an amusing cameo by lloyd kaufman.
