I only write reviews of movies with low rating, which actually are not that bad. Give them a chance!First of all, you need to understand that this movie is a comedy and even a parody in some parts. So you can't take it 100% seriously. Knowing that, you can certainly enjoy it because it is very funny. There is not a single part for which I can say is bad. You can only say that the story is not original, but since it is a zombie adventure... what can you expect? I love movies about apocalypse and that is the reason why I wanted to watch this one - I don't regret it at all.6.5/10
... View MoreOkay, so I just watched 'Zombibi'. This with reading the reviews on IMDb first. And I have to say: the acting of the cast is as bad as the acting of a 3-year old, because of the low-budget the special effects will make you cry and some shots in which they shoot zombies are used twice in the movie. But this actually makes the movie even funnier then before. And you won't only be laughing because of these things, there are as well a lot of funny jokes, funny scenes and so on.Yet you have to know it is a Dutch movie, so they talk Dutch but you can get it underlined in English. Except for that I believe people from The Netherlands will like this movie even more because of the famous Dutch people in the cast and the familiar places in Amsterdam where the scenes in this movie were shot. So the only thing i can say now is: just watch it! Tiemen, The Netherlands
... View MoreAnything that just remotely smells like zombie and I will watch it. And I happened to fall over "Zombibi" (or "Kill Zombie!" as it was oddly enough labeled on the DVD cover) on Amazon and had to put my decaying fingers on it. And with good reason, because "Zombibi" turned out to be quite good and loads of fun actually.Mind you that this is a Dutch movie, but you shouldn't be discouraged by that fact. The zombies don't seem to mind, why should you? A satellite crashes in downtown Amsterdam, bringing with it some kind of unidentified green slime which turns people into raging zombies with a hunger for flesh. Aziz who has just been fired from his work end up in prison with his brother and two other criminals when havoc falls upon Amsterdam from outer space. Waking up the next morning, the entire city is turned upside down. Amidst the chaos, Aziz gets a distress call from the woman he fancies, and he have to head back to his former workplace to save her, but the road there is perilous and full of obstacles."Zombibi" is fast paced and has a marvelous mix of comedy and horror put together and it works out quite well. Sure, it is not "Shaun of the Dead" material, but still, it is quite good. The movie will have you laughing and cheering, and for us zombie fans, there will be some nice enough gore moments too.The characters in "Zombibi" are so stereotypical that it just makes you laugh because it is so outrageous. And it works out well that it is done this way, bringing some self-irony to the movie. And the people they cast for the roles were doing great jobs. I have only seen one or two other Dutch movies prior to this one, so I can't claim to be familiar with anyone in the movie, so all new faces that have no prior roles attached to them was quite good.I can warmly recommend "Zombibi" to you, especially if you like zombie movies that is spiced up with comedy. It is a good jab at the zombie genre to come out of the Netherlands.
... View MoreThis movie I could actually hear in my native language, but not that that was any help in liking it more.After movies like Sl8n8 en Doodeind (Dead End) it was going the right way with the Nederhorror (Dutch Horror movies), so this movie had to top it. Sadly it fails on so many levels, first the story, the whole story can be told in 2 lines. Then the actors, the only one who did a fair job was Gigi Ravelli, but the others are just terrible. It was a miracle they could even remember their lines, it's just plain bad. Sometimes a movie can be terrific because it is so bad, but it even doesn't fall in this category. And there is no need for bad actors, there are a vast amount of good Dutch actors, why didn't they use them? They even used some bad singers as actors, it's pathetic.Please Paul Verhoeven, start making movies like Starship Troopers again so we can be proud of our legacy again.
