Zombies

The Romero-esque inspiration is laudable, but this is a movie that only works when whipped into a fury. Hunting for significance only underlines production limitations.

Ten years ago, Zombies might have looked like a stark little gem.

At least once a year, we get a super-cheap (and super-bad) zombie apocalypse movie starring one moderately famous B-actor, which plays for "action" rather than horror, and brings absolutely nothing new to the scene. I assumed _Zombies_ was going to fit this bill for 2017. And for 99% of that sentiment, I was right. What was not cliched however, was the final minutes of the film. I'm not saying that it was a new idea entirely, in fact I know exactly which far better movie _Zombies_ stole it from, but I've never seen this particular set of circumstances play out specifically in a zombie movie before. So one tiny little prop for that choice. Shame it couldn't have happened first in a better zombie movie. _Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible._
