Hide and Creep Trailers

In the sleepy town of Thorsby, Alabama, no one had a life. Then the dead showed up. Now instead of just killing time the people of Thorsby are killing each other, taking up arms as the zombies take to the streets, the barbecue joints and the strip bars. Soon spaceships are flying overhead, federal agents are patrolling the grounds and a few fearless individuals are joining forces to run like hell.

This movie, while not the best sound, best lighting, best acting, is one of my very favorite movies of all time. I was going to watch it and checked here. Someone said that it's not the best, but if you like to laugh, this is your movie. I want to restate that same sentiment. This is my fall back movie, especially when I need a really good laugh. It's absurd and that's part of what makes it so much fun. Most of the primary characters look like they are related, but they are nice looking, so no loss there. We have a rule here, any movie can get 5 minutes. We are really open minded, lol, and a lot don't make it to minute number 6. Give this movie just a few minutes, if you aren't laughing, turn it off, no loss there.

OKay first off I had nothing to do with this movie nor did I personally know any of the actors or any of the cast or crew members for that matter.I have seen the worst of the worst zombie movies and movies in general. This is a very low budget movie with that in mind this movie was done very well.. Almost too well. My friends and I still quote lines from it and we still get together and watch it when we have our zombie movie get togethers. The acting was OK, the plot was OK and the effects were a little on the cheap side but for a low budget movie and entertainment it really does get much better than this movie.. Keep in mind that it is a low budget cheap cheezy zombie movie. but its funny and fun to watch.. I liked it and will defend it to anyone...If you wanna she some crap movies check out anything by asylum. Especially that Night of the Dead Leben Tod that is the worst movie ever made.. Chuck and Chance are Spielbergs compared to that crap.

Let me start by saying this...do I know the folks from this movie. Yes, I know some of them. Have I worked with them...yes, a lot of them. Would I say that I'm "friends" with a lot of them? I would say that I have "worked" with some of them. I have spent more time with others...Chance for instance. Would I say we're friends, I would like to think so. With that said, know that this is not about to be said to "defend my friends".I would estimate that there are a lot of people out there, some being those who have commented on this film, that are victims to the commercialization of the movie industry...and more importantly the effects that this commercialization has had on the ART of film MAKING. Some of you who have commented on this film have made remarks that show you either have never made a film, don't understand the art, or are just wanting to something to complain about. Watching movies is far from being educated enough to critique the work of someone's film... Unless you are commenting on nothing other than the shear entertainment value. Some of you on the other hand seem to be informed somewhat as to what it actually takes (monetarily, time, sacrifice, TALENT, skill, etc.) To this latter group, I'm not speaking to you and I know that your comments are appreciated greatly.To the other group, and to anyone else who wants to see this film, it is a good product and I highly recommend it. To make a film in today's world, and to get the publicity that this one has is a task that most people's dreams die behind. When you watch a film like this one, appreciate it for the art of film making, AND the entertainment that it brings to the table. I have seen these guys work, and have been honored to work with them on other projects (NOTICE: DO YOU SEE MY NAME ANYWHERE ON THE CREDITS FOR THIS FILM? I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WITH IT.) These guys are representative of some of the true lovers of film and people who are a dying breed. They don't make movies for the monetary gains, as most of them make enough break even if they're lucky. They make movies because they love the art, the thrill, and the reward of undertaking an endeavor such as this. They're not sellouts to the large studios, they don't make it to be famous...they do it because they love it. What's even more impressive is how they do it.These guys don't bring in trucks and trucks of equipment, hiring lighting, sound, and production companies for $1000's or hundreds of $1000's of dollars, and do millions of dollars of post production work. They do the work in their bedrooms on a Mac, have a few people come and work with them, and the rest is shear desire and talent that makes these films.I counted 7 of the comments as being absolutely worthless and void of any real educated critique. It's a good movie that is very entertaining. I didn't have anything to do with this film as the credits show and I have seen maybe 3 people that had anything to do with it in the past...3 years or so.Personally, I love being around film-making and I think it's absolutely one of the most enjoyable things I've ever done. I'm not skilled at what I do...whatever that is. I don't work a camera, don't call the shots, and can't act my way out of a papersack. I don't edit, I don't cut sound, and I don't do marketing. I'm just someone who appreciates, loves and wants to know more about this incredible art that is film-making. Why do I say I'm not "friends" with these people...because 1)they deserve to have someone who isn't accused of being a friend to critique their work and 2)I've been blessed with the opportunity to be around while they make these films and don't have anything to really offer myself...I consider myself lucky. I take every opportunity with a smile on my face to be around and help where I can. I don't have the talent to do this stuff myself but if I can help someone else realize a dream, then I've had a good day. The script, makeup, and effects critiques were not award-winning aspects of a film, but they were what this film needed to make it work. No A-list actor with perfect lighting and makeup would give the desired effect that these guys attained. That's where the entertainment was found by me. And the acting? Many of these people are extremely talented individuals. Enough said.Judging a film like this one by comparing it to a multi-million dollar budget film is like comparing a pee-wee football Wide Receiver to Terrell Owens. Not in skill, talent, or product produced, because in the proper context, this is a great film, but for the reason they "play the game".

For the horror fans in the crowd, even the fringe fans, this is an enjoyable movie. Sure, it's low budget, it pays homage to other B-movies and the acting isn't going to win any Oscars. For all that, it does a decent job of entertaining with the premise of rednecks battling zombies.There isn't a lot of sleaze; only one scene with minor nudity, nor does the gore go over the top, so it isn't a schlockfest. The characters seem to be enjoying their roles, the dialogue was semi-witty, the production values better than many movies in the genre. It looks like a movie that was fun to work on.Good enough for zombie fans? Yes, indeed, the zombies are quite acceptable in this movie and act according to the standard model of zombie behavior. They lurch, drool, bite and bleed like zombies should.This is a beer and chips movie, without doubt. Enjoy it with your friends and some snacks. Break out the stash first and you'll be rating it up there with The Godfather.
