In Fairmont, WV, Frumcorp Pharmaceuticals Medical Testing Facility has let out virus infected people. The virus kills and reanimates people (zombies). However the story really centers on a couple of guys sporting stupid dialogue the whole film thinking themselves witty. The zombies are low budget with what appears to be bright red paint. They didn't even walk convincingly. It appears the film was going for camp value and thought boring inane dialogue with some old punkish sounding music would create a cult following. Two minutes of a guy putting on PF Flyers and similar filler didn't make it for me.Good Luck.Guide: F-bomb. No sex. Large butt crack nudity.
... View MoreDIE AND LET LIVE is a stoner-style zombie comedy horror indie about a bunch of slacker kids at the world's dullest party which gets gatecrashed by a couple of zombies. These attacks consist of badly made-up actors overacting a lot and eating a couple of extras in three to four zombie attack sequences spaced throughout the movie. The rest consists of actors standing around awkwardly and exchanging sleep-inducing dialogue. There's also the ubiquitous Lloyd Kaufman cameo.
... View MoreI came really close to turning this movie off after about 20 minutes. I went in cold, not knowing that it was a horror movie. It starts off with a lot of self-involved college students hanging out at the coffee shop obsessing over their little lives which have just begun to sprout like tender buds. I stuck with it, however, and it paid off big time.The bulk of the movie takes place in the second of two settings, a summer house being used for a party. I was just surprised at how the humor took a turn and became much more clever in the second half. As the kids are having a party, zombies overtake the city and gather outside the fence. Near the end of the story, the friendship between the two lead characters is developed. Earlier in the movie, we didn't really know they were BFFs. So it kind of put a different perspective on the action from that point on. I think if they had done a better job of establishing the characters earlier on, this may have been more enjoyable all the way through. The next time I will watch it, though, I will be noticing more and seeing it differently. It is silly, campy, self-referential, and full of irony, but I laughed out load. This proves that camp doesn't have to be discovered--it CAN be created.
... View MoreThis is a movie that will just make you enjoy watching it. It won't make you think too hard and it won't turn the horror world on it's ear, but it will make you laugh. If you are like me you will laugh a lot in this film. A basic synopsis without giving anything away is that there is a zombie outbreak and a pair of slackers throwing a party are caught in the middle of it. Now you would think the most important thing would be to find a way to survive but no... they have to get the pizzas from Bambino's because they are the best pizzas in the entire town's history. Forget the fact that it is the apocalypse just get the pizzas and everything will be okay. The film is shot in typical guerrilla fashion with just a couple locations and a lot of friends willing to be torn up and become zombies. They even got Henry Couto and Debbie Rochon to do cameos (Debbie is just a voice over but still it is Debbie). Like all independent horror films you have to look past the films flaws due to lacking anything looking like a budget to spend on cinematography, actors, and special effects and just enjoy the story. So if you want to just turn off the brain for a couple of hours and enjoy a fun film then this is the film for you.
