What happens if you take the best things out of movies like "Slither" and "Shaun of the Dead" and mix them together? Well, you would end up with something that looks a lot like "Zombie Town".The story takes place in a small town where a small trio of people suddenly find themselves outnumbered by the living dead and have to make a stand for themselves if they want to survive. Ravenous zombies are turning the citizens of the town into cannibalistic murderers.The approach to the zombie infection being caused by a parasitic worm that attached itself to the host was unusual, but much similar to what was done in "Slither". Whether or not you like that thing is individual, and personally I am not much fan of that approach. But hey, don't get me wrong, it wasn't a bad thing, because it did work out well enough in "Zombie Town".Moving on to the zombies. Well they were, in overall, actually quite nice. Some had good make-up and prosthetics. So it was nice to see this amount of detail (and gore) in a low-budget zombie movie like this. And then that leads us to the blood and mayhem; well, gore-hounds, you will not be disappointed watching "Zombie Town". There is a lot of blood, gore and guts in this movie. And it looks great and prepare yourself for a lot of flesh tearing. Thumbs up on the gore alone, it was great. Oh, and whether or not you like agile zombies that run around chasing the living, well that is also a matter of preference. I, personally (and for those familiar with my zombie movie reviews), am not a big fan of zombies being all agile and running around like sports athletes.The people they had cast were really coming together for a good performance. And it was obvious that they had actually taken time to put together a good ensemble of actors and actresses for the movie. Quite often, you see low-budget movies collapsing in epic fails because they have cast people unable to act their way out of a brown paper bag. But for "Zombie Town", then they had gotten some really great performers, who really helped the movie come to life. Most memorable was Adam Hose in the lead role of Jake.I loved the scene in the beginning of the movie where the people inside the cabin were fending off the zombie trying to come through the window, and one guy was using a broom to jab at the zombie. First of all, the jabs were so weak and half-hearted, the stick was nowhere near hitting the zombie. And then suddenly out of nowhere the zombie grabs the broom and pulls it out of the guy's hand, which prompts the man to faint. Wait, what? Yeah, he fainted from that. I didn't know that having a broomstick taken out of your hand would cause spontaneous unconsciousness. But now I do; a nice fact for later use in life. That scene just cracked me up."Zombie Town" is great entertainment for a low-budget zombie movie. It has all the ingredients for a great movie, and with a bigger budget, it would have been right up there with Romero's movies. If you are a zombie aficionado, like me, then treat yourself to "Zombie Town", it is well worthy a place in any zombie fan's DVD collection.

Jake, his nemesis, Randy & Jake's girlfriend must contend with zombiefied townsfolk (grandmoms and dogs mainly) in what was once a quaint and quiet, if backwoods town.Imagine a cross between "Shaun of the Dead" and "Slither", but without the budget or wit of either aforementioned films. Although far from the worst 'Zomedy" I've ever seen (I'm thinking of trademarking that term by the way) But there's still nothing here to recommend it to anyone but the most hardcore obsessive zombie completionist (and even then only hesitantly)My Grade: D

I hired the movie cause it looked like one of those really exciting zombie flicks that would have me on the edge of my seat, jumping up and down at all the scares. My brother soon caught sight of it and decided to watch it with me...The first scene where the "zombified" hand is sticking up out of the ground, we both burst out laughing at how "un-zombie" like it was. The special effects were horrible, the plot line was standard and un-exciting. I mistakingly put this on the top of the to-watch pile.About 35 minutes through I decided that I had enough of a bad movie and switched it off.Waste of a half-an-hour if you ask me

This is not the worse zombie movie i have seem, nothing can be worse than Zombie Nation. There is a story-line and a plot, but the story been recycled over many times. There is a plague, turns everyone into zombies, and its up to a small group of survivors to wipe out the zombies. The hero's old girlfriend is back in town, they hate each other at first and at the end, they lovers. How many times, have i seem this story-line.The scene at the truck accident is so fake, obviously they didn't want to use a real truck to keep costs down.What thing, hits me in this movie, is that the main characters seem slow to act and slow moving. There is a battle scene in a warehouse, were the characters take their time in saving survivors, and shooting zombies who are fast moving. All the three main characters in this movie seem very slow people and take their time when doing anything.This is not a movie to be taken seriously, just a brainless zombie movie, were there is much action, blood and gore, and a few boobs.
