So - How do you spell "Aaah! Zombies!"? - B... O... R... I... N... G (to the 10th power!!) Ho-hum!!.... I don't know about you - But, for me - Zombie movies (especially these totally irksome ones that try to add a "cute" comic-twist to their story-lines) have lost their edge, completely. Hey! I ain't kidding! Not only is "Aaah! Zombies!!" absolute bottom-of-the-barrel horror - But the actors are atrociously amateur, the gore effects are b-grade (at best), and its story (as expected) is not in the least bit funny (unless, of course, you are so stoned out of your frickin' head that you'll literally laugh at just about anything).All-in-all - This is the kind of horror-movie junk-food that is best left unwatched... Believe me - It's "Yawn of the Dead"!!

I think this movie was nice change from the normal Zombies we are used to getting, the idea was fresh and original at the times.As this movie we see view of the zombies for a change. Small plot four friends ended up eating ice cream which was green, unaware what was from toxic barrel that used to make it, they soon turn into zombies. What like about this movie is that when they are acting normal people the movie, it's in colour and we see them acting like Zombies the movie is black and white, this happens though-tout the whole movie. I found this movie very funny, there some really great jokes, which worked really well, which had me laughing out loud.The acting from the whole cast was really good, and the zombie make up effect was really good and the other effect in the movies were really well made as well. I do this movie was really very low the gore, I did not found that gory at all, which was a little disappointing.However it's a really good Horror/Zombie comedy, but don't expect anything like Braindead aka Dead Alive or Shaun of the Dead.I did found my self laughing at this movie more then I did while watching Zombieland, Which I thought was really good as well. 8 out of 10

"Wasting Away" actually surprised the life out of me, being the zombie fan that I am, I can say that, yeah! The idea behind this movie is simply put amazing, and it was really nice to see a new approach to the zombie genre.The story in itself, is fairly mediocre, having a group of teenagers turning into the living dead by ingesting some chemical compound. I will not go into further details here, as to not spoil the movie. And then you see the world from their point of view, being zombies now. The world is different and people react to the teens oddly now (at least in their eyes).Yeah, zombies are slow moving creatures, if you are fan of Romero's zombies, and these zombies are slow as well, but they perceive the world around them as if the living are running around in double speed. Great idea, new idea, but it didn't work out too well in practical use. The result was a bit too childishly comical, which I didn't really enjoy.The movie takes you on an exciting ride at a good pace, and there are few dull moments in the movie. It is nice to see parts of the movie from both the living and the zombie's point of view.As for the acting, well I think the people they had in the movie actually did good jobs, despite it being people that I was mostly unfamiliar with. And I think only a handful of the known celebrity faces would have been able to carry this movie without it having to turn into a major money-turning machine. So hats off to the actors/actresses work here in "Wasting Away".If you are a fan of zombie movies, then you should definitely add "Wasting Away" to your DVD collection, because it brings a sharp edge and a new approach to the genre of the living dead.

I saw this film as part of the Another Hole in the Head Film Festival in San Francisco. It was not only the best film I saw at the festival that year, it was the best I've ever seen at that festival! This was definitely a Zom-com, like Shaun of The Dead and Fido, only much lower budget. It manages to take a unique perspective in an extremely well explored genre. The visual effects really enhance the storytelling, which is not something I could say about most zombie flicks. While it's true that many of the visual gags, and just about all of the characters were zombie movie clichés, I was left with the impression that this was intentional. The film maker seemed to be riffing on stereotypical zombie movie attributes, and using them to create a movie that is both original and, pays homage to the great zombie films that went before it. I don't always go into indie film festival expecting original ideas and solid storytelling, but this flick set the bar pretty high! I think this is what George Romero's Diary of the Dead wishes it was!
