Zombie Town (2006) 7/10

Recently there's been a huge influx of cheap zombie flix flooding the markets. Just like in the 80's, studios and distributors have realized that zombie flicks are cheap to make and always make money. Because of this there's been alot of crap lately (i'm looking at you day of the dead remake!) Zombie Town, thankfully, is not one of them.

Ever seen Night of the Creeps? How about Slither? Well Zombie Town lifts its plot directly from those. Slug like parasites turn people into zombies and now there's zombies over running a small town. Its up to a rag tag group of locals to stop the plague from spreading.

There's really nothing new here to be found in Zombie Town. Honestly at this point I can't really expect to be surprised by a zombie flick. This one tries to be funny without going over board and heaps on the gore and was made on the cheap. The pacing is quick and the script is actually pretty funny in parts. The gore is convincing and plentiful. Of course the kick ass heroine in the film is very poorly written and acted but hey at least they tried right? I really have no complaints with this one. Its just a solid gory fun zombie flick.

Zombie Town is a competently directed and acted zombie gore flick that is short and sweet. Perfectly executed generic zombie movie #4003. At this point its pretty hard to make an interesting and not irritating zombie flick so that in itself is quite an achievement, especially given the limited budget. Check it out.
