NINJAS VS. ZOMBIES is your typically stupid indie comedy horror cross-genre collaboration. This one features a squad of typically overacting zombies with a bit of fake blood smeared over their faces and other random scenes featuring tubby ninja wannabes dressing up in black and doing a few moves. Mostly this is about cringeworthy humour and terrible FX; there's certainly reason why any sane viewer would wish to tune in.

Picked this up for a pound under it's UK name 'Zombie Contagion'.I wasn't expecting much when I read the reviews on here and finding out it's original name...Why change a winning sounding title (Zombies Vs Ninja's) for the above and give it a cover that has no real link to it.It's actually quite a funny film with several moments actually making me laugh. OK so if your watching it expecting Zombie carnage you'll be disappointed...The make up and effects are poor...The acting is mixed but somehow it fits with the level the film is aiming for - You can also play spot the reference...It's better than many straight to DVD Zombie flicks.

NINJAS VS. ZOMBIES has all of what you would expect if some film equivalent of Simon Cowell (think a panel composed of Ulli Lommel, Uwe Boll, and Steven Soderbergh) stopped at the home of the most obnoxious big family in your neighborhood, condo complex or apartment building with a pick-up truck full of cheap film-making equipment and a few disks of tacky special effects. Carefully coached toward the lowest common denominator by the panel, you would end up with a finished flick featuring wooden actors delivering hokey lines to convey an implausible story line with absolutely terrible production values (which describes NINJAS VS. ZOMBIES in a nutshell). Skimming the NZ credits reveals lots of nepotism and many people wearing at least three hats (which for most of them is a hat trick too many). Why not make lemonade out of lemons such as NZ? If the bozos involved with this lame movie could make such a perfectly extended version of the purposely poor sketches done by the BE KIND REWIND crew, why not a weekly TV series, with a few shows devoted to the selection of "finalists," and each week thereafter featuring the coaching process on the first night, and the finished product on the second? Based on audience votes, the top three amateur feature directors would get a second bite of the apple. If my show had been on the schedule in time for NINJAS VS. ZOMBIES, I think it unlikely NINJAS VS. VAMPIRES would have gotten off the ground. America would have voted this crew off the island much sooner than that.

Saw this at a local indie movie rental place, was expecting a blend of zombie horror with random ninjas thrown in. Didn't like the attempt at humor as it felt really cheesy; (one of those "hah we know we're a B- movie" so we'll just deliver the lines really bad). Don't get me started on the dialog.I knew the production value wasn't going to be up there in quality, but the cinematography and overall feel made it look more suited for Youtube than my DVD player. I hate to be so blunt as I'm sure a lot of love and work went into this project... you have been warned though, go into this movie with very low expectations.
